This jacket is cut in a black wool-and-linen canvas with an extremely soft finish. Very elegant, it is matte with a depth, nuances in tone and weaving irregularities that evoke tweed. To this English chic, it adds the hold and feel of the very fine woollens woven in Biella, in northern Italy.
Its elegant fall and the sobriety of its colour will enhance your summer shirts.
You appreciate hollington’s ‘work wear’ style, its comfortable and handy clothing line? In that case, the Architect jacket should be the central piece of your wardrobe. Patric Hollington designed it shortly after he opened his first store in 1974 and it soon became one of the brand’s best-sellling pieces.
Why are you taking it on so easily? Is it for its unrivalled comfort? Its straight cut also allows you to match it with various styles of outfit. It will never feel too tight as it includes a back pleat that allows a great freedom of movement in any situation.
As for the style and originality of this jacket, the set of pockets designed on the chest gave it its ‘Architect’ name. It includes five piped pockets, but also three inside pockets, so you won’t need to carry a bag.
Its nehru collar goes slightly higher on the neck than a mao collar – this is the key of its increased elegance.
