This Nehru-collar shirt is made from a paisley-patterned Liberty® fabric. Liberty® cotton is a silky cotton poplin, usually woven in England. It is renowned for its many qualities, including its cool feel and the durability of its patterns. Lightweight, it requires no ironing. Our high-end manufacturer offers patterns reimagined by London’s leading designers. This swirling botanical pattern, reminiscent of an Indian print, stands out against a chalk-coloured background. The delicate shades of Marengo Blue (Patric Hollington’s favourite colour), caramel, coffee and sugar-coated almond dance across the poplin, giving it an extremely light feel. This shirt will complement your dark suits.
Designed shortly after the opening of the first shop in 1974, this shirt is the quintessential hollington classic. Worn on its own, with a waistcoat or a jacket, tucked in or left out, its straight cut adapts effortlessly to every style.
The back pleat gives you complete freedom of movement – or the freedom to do absolutely nothing. In short, it does the work for you.
Its Mao collar is a house signature. Slightly taller than a traditional version, it offers the same comfort and style, with just a touch more elegance.
At hollington, the button placket always ends at mid-body, so the shirt must be pulled over the head. A distinctive detail, certainly, but one that ensures, when seated, no fabric is pulled tight across the opening – sparing you from showing a midsection you'd rather keep to yourself.
As for the cuff placket, it features two buttons – a backup in case one pops off, as they always seem to do at the worst possible moment.
Last but not least, its two chest pockets: a practical bonus for those who like to keep a pen, phone, handkerchief, silk square, or any other essentials close at hand.
