Red and black checked wool fabric (often called “lumberjack”) is a must-have in any man’s wardrobe. Its history is rooted in workwear. Our wool fabric is woven in Tuscany, at Stefano. Warm, heavy and sturdy, yet not stiff, thanks to the expertise of Italian finishers. You will love wearing your clothes, and day after day they will become even more comfortable. With this fabric, you will carry the great outdoors with you on all your adventures, whether in the city and the countryside.
Personally, red and black checks are one of my madeleines in clothing. Lumberjacks, grunge, workers, America, the long haul, Filson, all these images in a single pattern. And they also echo the codes of the Bauhaus. In a way, they are the quintessence of the Hollington spirit. To be worn with velvet, denim and good cotton fabrics.
It’s rare for everyday life to offer the comfort of certainty—so when one does appear, it’s best not to let it slip away. Especially when it shows up with that many pockets. Designed over forty years ago on the corner of a paper napkin, the 20-pocket vest was created to perfectly take the place of a bag.
It boasts no less than 2 interior pockets and 18 exterior ones, including five pen pockets on the chest and two buttoned pockets on the back, providing 360° support. Glasses, passport, keys, tools, phone, book, newspaper, pruning shears, paintbrushes, stethoscope, camera lens, sheet music, instrument—everything finds its place.
Season after season, the 20-pocket vest has become a Hollington staple. Its cut, longer than that of a classic vest, even allows you to skip a jacket. It layers just as well over a T-shirt as over a thick sweater, and can easily slip under a coat.
Whether in cotton, crisp linen for summer, deep velvet for winter, or indestructible moleskin, this one-of-a-kind vest is the essential ally of practicality and style—Hollington’s mantra.
