This lightweight Naipaul summer jacket embodies the perfect blend of timeless elegance and casual comfort in the hollington line. Its loose, straight silhouette offers freedom of movement without compromising on style. With its distinctive Nehru collar, it evokes a sophisticated charm that's perfect for any occasion. Three outside patch pockets and two inside zip pockets. Made from a black double-faced cotton seersucker fabric manufactured in Tuscany, this jacket's subtle texture feels good against the skin. The duality of this fabric is captivating from the first glance. Its deep black colour provides a sober, elegant background, while the reverse side is printed with stripes inspired by the work of Armi Ratia, adding a lively, modern touch. The stripes, in shades of chalk, blue and earthy taupe, dance across the surface of the fabric with deliberate irregularity, evoking a sense of authenticity and spontaneity. They evoke the movement of water and the furrows of fields, capturing the spirit of nature in a bold, contemporary pattern. Its unlined construction makes it ideal for warm, sunny days, while its versatility makes it a must-have piece for your summer wardrobe. Inside, you'll find two zipped pockets, perfect for safely storing your small essentials, while three patch pockets on the front of the garment offer extra space for your hands or other accessories but above all add to the architectural lines of the hollington garment. This jacket can be dressed up or down with a smart shirt and classic dress trousers, giving you a refined, distinguished look for formal occasions. But it can also be paired casually with jeans and a T-shirt, creating a relaxed but still sophisticated look for those lazy days or outings with friends. Whatever the context, this black double-faced seersucker jacket is a versatile and elegant choice that will accompany you in style throughout the summer season, adding a touch of sophistication to every outfit.

Have you ever tried the Naipaul jacket on? When Patric Hollington designed it twenty years ago, his intention was to give a perfect fit to an unstructured, lightly built garment.

It is the only unlined jacket in hollington’s wardrobe. The inside has no interfacing in order to allow the greatest suppleness and comfort. When the jacket is cut in a thin cloth, it looks like an overshirt; when it is cut in a thicker fabric, it is closer to a casual chic jacket.

Its cut is wide, with large armholes. One can wear it over a shirt for a smart look or over a simple tee-shirt in more relaxed times. It will never feel too tight as it includes a back pleat that allows a great freedom of movement in any situation.

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.

Six patch pockets are maintained by topstitched seams : three outside and three inside, including two zipped pockets.

Hollington favours double, symmetrical seams to underline the architectural structure of the garment.
