This megève jacket is made of raw silk tweed. This fabric takes its name from the River Tweed in Scotland. Originally woven from corded woollen threads, tweed shows a multitude of small flaws (‘slubs’) that are its hallmark. To achieve this revisited version, our Tuscan weaver used Indian silk threads. The peculiarity of this raw silk is precisely the irregularity of its material. The imperfections of the black and silver threads give its atypical, very chic personality to the surface of the fabric.
The Megève jacket was created the last winter season! You all adopted it for its irreproachable cut and fit: it is now part of hollington’s wardrobe.
You will be taken by the great quality and know-how implemented here. This jacket is 100% made in Italy, from the cutting of the pattern to the handmade details, via tacking the fabric pieces together.
Its collar is an officer collar, high and lined with a narrow piece of canvas all around the neck. The cut is slightly fitted and two back slits make it more comfortable.
The three piped outside pockets are zipped: this innovation is very convenient for travelling! You won’t need to carry bag anymore, and all your essentials will be safe. Lost passport, phone or ticket won’t be an issue anymore. Inside are four zipped pockets fitting a notebook and two pen pockets for your travel writings.
Being detail-oriented, maybe you did notice that its buttons are made in a natural material. They are made either of horn or of corozo, a natural ivory that is actually palm fruit albumen.
