The jacket shown here is cut in a british racing green cordoroy wool cloth. Produced exclusively for hollington by Luca Visconti for over 30 years, this wide-ribbed velvet is first carefully brushed. He then receives a "vintage" finishing, which gives him a slightly passed look. The wool is placed on the inner side of the fabric, to increase its comfort, and on the top of the rib: softer and smoother, this winter fabric falls well and crumples very little. With a comfortable, not very ostentatious elegance, it can be easily combined with different clothes.
In case you enjoy carpenter collars but don’t know hollington’s Odéon jacket yet, just try it on and you will not be able to go without it anymore.
The jacket is made 100% in Italy, and its carpenter collar is directly assembled to the garment. You can choose to turn it up on cold days for a urban, James Dean style. If your style is more classical, imitate Rodin during the bell époque and put it down in a painter fashion.
As you may know, playing with various pockets is a distinctive feature of Patric Hollington’s design. This jacket even hides two secret ones. Invisible, they are sewed inside the flat pockets, like in a saddlebag. Watch the picture closer! The four inside zipped pockets are very deep in order to fit all of your everyday tools: notebook, passport, wallet, handbook, watercolours, smartphone…
Odéon jacket’s cut is slightly fit, but Patric kept it comfortable by adding a back slit that gives you a great freedom of movement. One can wear it over a shirt for a smart look or over a thick Irish sweater in more relaxed times.
