Mens swimwear sale
Mens swimwear sale at Hackett London: recycled polyester with Lycra, chlorine resistant and UV treated — swim shorts with British character built to last well beyond the pool edge.
Fabrics and construction of Hackett swimwear
The mens swimwear sale at Hackett London are made in recycled polyester with Lycra — generally 80% recycled polyester, 20% elastane — with a chlorine and UV resistance that standard nylon fabrics cannot match. The cloth weight is 180 g/m²: enough to hold the shape of the swim short in the water without adding unnecessary bulk. Side seams are flat with no raised exterior topstitching that might chafe in movement. The interior mesh lining runs through all models, with an adjustable drawcord at the waist and a side zip pocket with water-resistant treatment. The prints — nautical motifs, summer-adapted tartans, geometric patterns in the brand's colour palette — are applied by sublimation: the colour is integrated into the textile fibre rather than sitting on its surface, so the print does not peel and does not lose definition after prolonged exposure to sun and chlorinated water.
Length and cut of Hackett swim shorts
The Hackett mens swimwear has a standard length of between 17 and 19cm from the waistband to the hem — the length that sits above the knee and allows both swimming and a walk along the seafront without needing to change. Two suggestions:
Nautical-print swim short in navy and white with a white linen collarless shirt and a leather sandal: the beach look with the right kind of intention.
Plain bottle green swim short with a white piqué polo open over it and a rubber sandal: from the pool to the hotel terrace without getting changed.
How to care for Hackett recycled polyester swimwear
The mens swimwear sale Hackett should be rinsed in cold water after each use in the sea or the pool to remove salt and chlorine, which degrade the elastic fabric over time. Hand wash with a mild detergent or machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid the tumble dryer: heat deteriorates the elastane and reduces the useful life of the stretch fabric.
Is Hackett swimwear chlorine resistant?
The recycled polyester Lycra fabric of the mens swimwear sale Hackett collection has a chlorine resistance superior to standard nylon. With an immediate rinse after each pool session and regular washing, the fabric maintains its elasticity and the prints their definition across several seasons of use.
What size swimwear should I choose from Hackett?
Hackett London swim shorts follow a waist measurement size chart expressed in centimetres. The elastane content allows some adjustment; when between two sizes the smaller is generally more comfortable in the water. The drawcord at the waist provides additional fine adjustment in all models.
Do the prints on Hackett swim shorts fade in the sun?
The sublimation-applied prints on the Hackett mens swimwear have a UV resistance that surface-applied prints cannot match. With normal use and care — rinsing after each wear, regular washing, air drying — the colours maintain their intensity for a minimum of two seasons of regular use.
