This waistcoat is crafted from a sumptuous, wrinkle-resistant summer wool crepe known as Papaya — a rare and refined fabric that is no longer in production. Created by one of the most imaginative artisans of the Italian peninsula, its texture and drape reflect an unparalleled mastery of textile craftsmanship.
The subtly mottled tones of grey and bronze evoke a quiet, timeless elegance. Made in France, this collector’s piece is designed for those constantly on the move: lightweight, uncreasable, and supremely comfortable. The perfect companion for travel, it combines practicality with style and distinction in the most effortless way.
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!
