The jacket shown here is cut in a a stretch velvet with fine stripes. This velvet repeats a fantasy proposed by Patric Hollington about fifteen years ago, and which he called "work canvas with spirit". Its stretch cotton base, improved for this 2020 version, has very fine light gray diagonal stripes against a black background. Sober and warm, it is perfect for the winter season.
Designed in 1974, the Sligo is one of Patric Hollington’s very first pieces. As he very much enjoyed work wear, he imagined this carpenter-collar jacket which keeps the handy style of it but uses the most elegant canvases. The ‘brain workers’ from Paris or elsewhere adopted it right away, and it became the most iconic item of Rive Gauche hollington brand.
Its cut is straight and comfortable, and a back slit 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.
From the beginning on, the four inside pockets have been very deep in order to fit all of your everyday tools: notebook, passport, wallet, handbook, watercolours, smartphone… They are now zipped, but the three outside piped pockets stayed as you know them.
The carpenter collar of this Sligo jacket is directly assembled to it by double, symmetrical seams to underline the architectural structure of the garment.
