Mens coats and jackets sale
Mens coats and jackets sale at Hackett London: from the double-breasted wool overcoat to the technical nylon jacket, via the cotton trench and the knitted overshirt — outer layers built to last that a well-considered wardrobe requires.
Wool overcoats: construction and cloth
The overcoats in the mens coats and jackets sale at Hackett are made in wool blends — 70% wool, 20% polyester, 10% other fibres in the entry models; 90% wool and 10% cashmere in the higher-grade pieces — at weights between 500 and 650 g/m². A coat at 600 g/m² has enough weight to hang with aplomb without billowing and the density to block the cold without additional layers down to around 5°C. The floating canvas in the chest of the tailored models allows the lapel to form its own shape naturally. Buttons are natural horn or tortoiseshell — with the surface irregularity that moulded plastic cannot replicate.
The cotton trench carries high-density combed cotton on the exterior with a water-resistant finish treatment that does not compromise breathability. The detachable tartan lining is the signature of the classic models in the collection.
Technical jackets and bombers from Hackett
The mens coats and jackets sale also includes jackets in a more relaxed cut: the nylon bomber with a recycled taffeta lining, the unlined cotton jacket for temperature transitions and the merino wool knitted jacket in a double-twist weave built to last without pressing. Two suggestions:
Camel wool double-breasted overcoat over a grey suit, white shirt and black oxford: the winter combination with the strongest presence in a man's wardrobe, from morning to evening.
Navy merino knitted jacket over a checked Oxford shirt, tobacco chino and brown suede boot: the outer layer of the working week without the need for an overcoat.
How to choose between an overcoat and a jacket at Hackett
The choice between a coat and a jacket from the mens coats and jackets sale Hackett depends on context and temperature. The wool overcoat is the right option for temperatures below 10°C and formal contexts. The technical or knitted jacket handles transition temperatures better — between 10 and 18°C — and more relaxed contexts where a long overcoat would be excessive.
How do you care for a Hackett wool overcoat?
Hackett London wool overcoats should be dry cleaned. Between wears, air on a wide hanger and cover with a breathable garment bag to keep dust off. Gentle brushing with a natural-bristle brush after each wear removes surface dust and keeps the cloth in order. The washing machine is to be avoided on all models with interlining and a full lining.
Is the Hackett trench coat waterproof?
The Hackett London cotton trench carries a water-resistant treatment — not full waterproofing — that allows it to handle light rain without the cloth becoming saturated. For sustained heavy rain, the trench is not sufficient without periodic renewal of the DWR treatment. The treatment can be refreshed with a specialist cotton garment waterproofing spray after dry cleaning.
Are Hackett coats fully lined?
Most Hackett mens coats in sale carry a full lining in viscose or silk depending on the range, which makes the coat easier to put on and improves the fall of the outer cloth. Lighter transitional models may carry a half lining or a back lining only to improve breathability.
