This jacket is cut in a linen and cotton canvas following the codes of workwear, woven in Tuscany exclusively for hollington. Soft, it is comfortable but remains quite heavy. Its colour acquires a patina with use: like all quality products, it will improve over time. As its chevrons combine black, chocolate-brown and ecru, it is easy to match with your other clothes.
In 1974, hollington introduced the Grenoble jacket to the fashion scene with a bold and innovative vision. Freely inspired by workshop jackets, this revolutionary piece marked the beginning of a new era in utilitarian clothing.
The Grenoble jacket was much more than just a garment. It was a reflection of a dynamic, modern lifestyle, designed to meet the practical and aesthetic needs of ever-changing urban life. Its innovative design was distinguished by its elegant silhouette and multiple functional pockets, offering city dwellers a stylish solution for carrying their belongings while remaining free to move about.
The Grenoble jacket, which later became Hollington's iconic multi-pocket jacket, was more than just a fashion statement in 1974. It embodied a masterful fusion of contemporary elegance and practical functionality, providing urban men with a stylish solution to their everyday needs.
From the outset, the Grenoble jacket stood out for its distinctive details, including the carpenter collar and the back pleat, a testament to its attention to detail and optimal comfort. But what made this piece truly unique was its front pocket design, a signature hollington feature that would become emblematic: At the front of the jacket are four pen pockets, designed specifically for our urban artists and architects, providing practical access to their creative tools while adding a touch of sophistication to their outfits. In addition to these pockets, three deep flap pockets provide generous space for storing everyday essentials, while a bevel-cut pocket is specially adapted for drawing on the garment, allowing men to stay inspired wherever they go.
Inside the jacket, the attention to detail continues with four zipped pockets, ideal for keeping valuables safe, and two additional pen pockets for optimum accessibility on the move. So the Grenoble jacket from hollington was not just a piece of clothing, but a functional work of art, designed to accompany the modern man on all his urban adventures, while allowing him to remain stylish and organised in all circumstances.
