The Hackett London Autumn/Winter 2016 collection takes its cue from Hackett’s refined British heritage offering an inspired and contemporary update on classic pieces across its casual and formal ranges. The collection is split into a series of themes Tweed Authority, Winter Harbor and A Gentleman’s Wardrobe.
Tweed Authority is a range that modernizes distinguished items notoriously British and acknowledged within the brand. With a color palette of green, brown and beige with pops of red and orange, the casual range highlights the classic Hackett tweed. A stand out piece is the timeless country water resistant rain coat that features a unique tweed lining, available in both navy and khaki colorways. Tweed jackets from renowned British mills Robert Noble and Lovat, in rich heather colors, feature throughout the collection. Making the old new, the quintessentially British waxed jacket has been reinterpreted with Hackett’s signature attention to detail and luxurious finish. Available in a country green, the jacket features a unique zipped herringbone tweed inner layer for extra warmth and metal hardware in bright gold.
The Winter Harbour range is inspired by the wild landscapes of North East England, with dark brooding skies and grey choppy seas stimulating the color palette of navy, brown and grey. Intarsia chunky knits are worn under classic peacoats and heavy parka’s teamed with thick scarves and denim; layering is essential within the range. Pops of color are added through chinos and knitwear.
Hackett London’s A Gentleman’s Wardrobe is a range that is built around the modern man who is effortlessly stylish not only in his work environment but in his personal life as well. Bold tailored check jackets feature in various designs; as one of menswear’s classic patterns, the check makes a strong style statement whilst being easily incorporated into any gentleman’s wardrobe. Worn over Hackett’s new down filled lightweight quilted gilet, available in navy and olive colourways, the wool check jacket becomes the perfect outerwear piece for Autumn/Winter 2016.
Hackett London’s tailoring collection features suiting in a variety of fits, from slim to classic styles; checks add the pattern and interest in a collection dominated by navy and grey. A stand out piece is the striking grey flannel check suit from British mill Alfred Brown, worn over a lightweight quilted gilet or merino cardigan, adding extra warmth on those winter days commuting to the office.
