This grey, thick-ribbed cotton velvet, made in Italy, stands out for its rich texture and precise pattern. The thick ribs reveal a subtle tone-on-tone herringbone pattern, subtly integrated into the fabric, giving it a refined depth and a discreet graphic identity. This interplay of textures delicately catches the light. Both dense and supple, this velvet has a comfortable feel, ideal for a winter jacket with a drape. Its nuanced grey tone suits both classic and contemporary silhouettes, while its Italian origin guarantees an impeccable finish and exceptional textile craftsmanship.
The Naipaul holds a special place in the hollington collections: halfway between a shirt and a jacket, it is a small miracle of comfort, owed entirely to its ultra-lightweight construction.
This fluid garment was designed like a veil of fabric. Its interior contains no interlining, no lining. When made from a fine fabric, it resembles an overshirt; when the fabric is thick, it takes on all the characteristics of a casually chic jacket.
Its cut is generous, with wide armholes. It fits perfectly over a shirt or a t-shirt. In either case, there's no risk of feeling restricted: a back pleat ensures great freedom of movement in any situation. Its high officer collar is accented with a strip of fabric that gives the neckline its graphic line.
Made in Picardy near Amiens in a small-scale workshop, it features six patch pockets: three on the outside and three on the inside, two of which are zippered. All are applied and secured with stitching. At hollington, this stitching is double and symmetrical to respect the architectural structure of the garment.
