Light, silky, almost ethereal, these are the hallmarks of Tencel®, a natural fibre derived from eucalyptus wood. It breathes, is crease-resistant and machine-washable with ease. You can’t feel it against your skin, and that is precisely what we want. Pierre Soulages, a loyal customer of the brand, was absolutely smitten with this fabric. He invariably chose it in black; from the studio to the exhibition opening, it accompanied him effortlessly, being both practical and dignified. This season, hollington offers it in a luminous yet understated Laurentin blue, equally at home on a weekday as on a summer Sunday. A shade that blends naturally with all the colours of the summer season.
At hollington, we believe a good jacket is one that works for you. As supple as a shirt, as sturdy and practical as a jacket, our Shirt Jacket saves you from pointless hesitation in front of your wardrobe by holding in its pockets everything your day might require.
This signature piece of the house, with its genuine Mao collar, was one of the first designs created in the early 1970s and has all the qualities of a classic you simply cannot find elsewhere. Its generous cut, flattering even with a fuller build, allows it to be worn just as easily over a T-shirt, a shirt, or a thick Irish sweater, without ever compromising comfort thanks to wide armholes that never restrict movement. A thoughtful detail makes all the difference: the back pleat allows for great freedom of movement in any situation.
The cuff placket features two buttons, allowing you to wear it in different ways. On days when you prefer the sleeves rolled up, you can choose to fasten them.
It naturally includes the house’s signature storage: three applied and topstitched patch pockets on the outside, as well as two pen pockets and four very large zip pockets on the inside, so you can carry your essentials with ease.
The Shirt Jacket brings together the best of both worlds, and then some.
