This mao-collar shirt is made from a beautiful black poplin produced by renowned English manufacturer Thomas Mason. With its ideal fineness and softness, this fabric is made from Egyptian cotton and washed thirty times after weaving, giving it a silky, fresh feel. The finish and matte appearance have been carefully crafted, and the buttons are made from the highest quality mother-of-pearl sourced from Australia. As a luxurious detail, the label has been replaced with tone-on-tone embroidery. A Hollington classic for aficionados of exquisite black shirts.
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.
