This is the shirt-jacket hollington cut in a summer stretch cotton twill black. A must-have fabric to enjoy sunny days. Neither too light nor too heavy (350g), our cotton serge is piece dyed. Thus the color is dense and assumed. The twill weave allows to obtain a slight relief – yes canvas are sometimes boring – and recalls our attachment to workwear. The addition of elastane gives the necessary comfort to face the vagaries of everyday life. In short a classic with allure and that hides well his game. Over time, our twill will age advantageously.

Patric Hollington designed it shortly after he opened his first store in 1974 and it soon became a classic for all mao-collar aficionados.
The elegancy of this jacket is all about two-button cuffs resembling shirt cuffs. You may wear it in various fashions. Sometimes you will fell like rolling the sleeves up; sometimes you will prefer to button them down.

Its collar, now called ‘mao collar’ to make it standard, is actually an ‘officer’ collar. Is it high and lined with a narrow piece of canvas all around the neck.
Outside, the easily identifiable three patch pockets are maintained by topstitched seams.
Hollington favours double, symmetrical seams to underline the architectural structure of the garment.
Inside are two pen pockets and four zipped pockets to slide your favourite items.
