An uncommonly found luxury offering! This calfskin leather Holland & Holland shirt jacket, made in Great Britain and lined in Bemberg rayon, is exactly the kind of quality and craftmanship they have been know for since 1835. The leather is cool steel grey, fine-grained and smooth, with a weight and drape closer to a beautifully cut shirt than to a conventional jacket.

The shirt collar sits flat and clean at the neckline. Buttons run down the front, the cuffs close with a single button, and a neat pointed tab vent sits at each hip. The back is seamed at centre. There is nothing here that does not belong. Worn over a fine knit or a silk blouse, tucked into tailored trousers or a simple skirt, this jacket goes with almost everything and makes all of it just look that much ... better.
