| Place of origin |
Hackett’s luxurious shooting suit shows how this sport’s sartorial tradition, begun in the 1800s, remains in place. A coat or jacket with many pockets, breeches or trousers, waistcoat, leggings, gaiters, boots and hat remain de rigueur for the shooting season. The sturdy tweeds and light greenish colours protect the wearer from the elements, are thorn-proof and help provide camouflage. Hackett’s clothes have become synonymous with classic British style ever since the first shop opened in London in 1983. Initially selling quality second-hand clothes and accessories, it expanded to sell their own menswear collection.
