This hollington waistcoat with welt pockets is crafted from a distinctive fabric: a linen-cotton ottoman in a light ecru shade, almost white — luminous and naturally refined. Traditionally used by Eastern courts for ceremonial garments and ornate furnishings, ottoman is known for its characteristic horizontal ribbing, which adds subtle texture and depth to the fabric’s surface. The blend of linen and cotton gives the material an authentic hand with a slightly dry touch, striking the right balance between sophistication and ease. This waistcoat is both understated and full of character — a refined summer piece that brings light, texture, and quiet distinction to any ensemble.
You would like to wear a waistcoat to look elegant for your opening night or to impress your friends at a wedding ceremony, but you are looking for a waistcoat you can wear everyday? Then the piped-pocket waistcoat will become a central piece of your wardrobe.
Its cut is the one of a three-piece suit: it should be close fitting without ever restraining you. That is why we suggest you should pick a size smaller than your jacket’s size. If your jacket says 52, choose a size 50!
Hollington’s waistcoat shows a V-shape collar and is traditionally worn with the lower button open. The back fabric is the same as the front fabric and it has no plait to respect the pure aesthetics of the clothing line. It also holds two side slits allowing a perfect freedom of movement, and a slightly plunging cut.
You can fill the three outside pockets and the two inside ones without worrying: one won’t notice any dividing line!
