Men's green jackets

Men's green jackets carry a heritage that navy and black don't quite have, rooted in country and field outerwear rather than city tailoring.

Fabric and shade range

The range spans a deep bottle green in waxed cotton field jackets through to a softer olive in quilted and technical styles, both chosen for how well green sits against the muted browns and greys of a country wardrobe. A waxed cotton finish on the field styles offers genuine water resistance without the technical bulk of a fully waterproof shell.

Why green jackets suit country and city dressing alike

Olive and bottle green pair naturally with the browns, creams and navy already common in a working wardrobe, which is why green has remained a constant in Hackett London's outerwear rather than a passing seasonal colour. A darker bottle green reads more versatile for city wear, while a lighter olive suits a more relaxed, country-inspired register.

Does green work well in a city wardrobe?

A darker bottle green reads as versatile as navy in most city settings, pairing easily with brown leather footwear and neutral knitwear.

What's the difference between olive and bottle green?

Olive carries a more muted, brownish undertone associated with military and country wear, while bottle green is deeper and slightly cooler, closer to the traditional British racing green.

Do green jackets suit every skin tone?

Olive tends to suit warmer complexions particularly well, while a deeper bottle green works across a broader range of skin tones due to its closer proximity to navy in depth.
