the fabric

This cotton chambray, with its classic yet relaxed look, has been carefully woven in France. Slightly stretchy, it offers just the right amount of comfort to move with ease and fluidity. Known for its double-faced weave — a soft blue thread crossed with a white weft — it has the textured, luminous appearance that makes chambray so distinctive. We selected this fabric for its ideal weight, perfectly suited for crafting a summer jacket: light and breathable, yet structured enough to hold its shape. The result? A timeless piece with understated elegance, designed for those who appreciate relaxed yet refined silhouettes.

the cut

Have you ever tried the Naipaul jacket on? When Patric Hollington designed it twenty years ago, his intention was to give a perfect fit to an unstructured, lightly built garment.

It is the only unlined jacket in hollington’s wardrobe. The inside has no interfacing in order to allow the greatest suppleness and comfort. When the jacket is cut in a thin cloth, it looks like an overshirt; when it is cut in a thicker fabric, it is closer to a casual chic jacket.

Its cut is wide, with large armholes. One can wear it over a shirt for a smart look or over a simple tee-shirt in more relaxed times. It will never feel too tight as it includes a back pleat that allows a great freedom of movement in any situation.

Its collar, now called ‘mao collar’ to make it standard, is actually an ‘officer’ collar. Is it high and lined with a narrow piece of canvas all around the neck.

Six patch pockets are maintained by topstitched seams : three outside and three inside, including two zipped pockets.

Hollington favours double, symmetrical seams to underline the architectural structure of the garment.
