Classic clothing has long been underrated, the fabric, tailoring and shape of vintage clothing is far more
flattering, interesting and classy than the clothing we find on most high streets today.
Clothing of the past had a lot more thought put into it, whether it is grandma’s first Chanel suit or mums
embroidered hippie top, the clothing is a work of art, rather than a means to an end.
Luckily, luxury clothing brand, Hackett believes the same thing, creating classic British clothing and
accessories which cater to the head to toe needs of men of all ages who wish to dress stylishly and to
whom quality is more important than the every changing carousal of mainstream fashion.
When Hackett founders, Jeremy Hackett and Ashley Lloyd-Jennings meet, they were both searching
in Portobello Road for good second-hand traditional British men’s clothing. A partnership soon
followed with the two men setting up a stall for themselves in Portobello, selling second hand clothing
they had collected, cleaned and repaired.
What soon developed is the Hackett you see today, a company whose aims to dress men for any occasion
in essential British kit. Their ‘Little Britons’ range caters for the younger “man’s” needs, the little gentleman,
supplying quintessential style to sophisticated kids.
Quality certainly prevails in the current children’s collection, with classic cut shirts, jackets and trousers in
fine fabrics, hallmarked with unique details.
There are outfit choices suited to all occasions this season, from smart events to outdoor sports, including
the exclusive Aston Martin collaborative range, fashioned for budding racers, all found, online, at
