Men's Brown Blazers

Men's brown blazers from Hackett London cover the warm side of the tailoring palette, from pale tobacco to deep chocolate, in wool, cotton and textured cloths that look at home in town and country alike.

Tobacco, chestnut and chocolate

Brown has always been a country colour that learned its way into town. Tobacco brown, a mid-tone with a warm red cast, is a shade Hackett London has worked continuously since its first collection, and it is why our men's brown blazers sit so easily with navy, cream and grey. Chestnut is richer and slightly redder. Chocolate is darker, close to formal, and the right choice for evening.

Texture brings brown to life. A smooth worsted reads crisp and clean, while a herringbone weave breaks the colour into flecks of light and dark that look deeper close up. Men's brown blazers in a hopsack or basketweave sit somewhere in between, with an open texture that breathes in warmer months.

Cloth that keeps its colour

Wool content is never diluted with polyester in the outer cloth of our men's brown blazers, which keeps brown dyes deep and stops the surface turning shiny at the elbows. At around 300 g/m², a year-round wool holds the colour through autumn and spring. Horn buttons in a darker tone frame the front without competing. The full range of cuts and colours sits in men's blazers.

How to wear men's brown blazers

Men's brown blazers pair best with cool colours that let the warmth of the shade come through. Two ways to wear one:

Tobacco brown blazer over a white Oxford shirt, dark indigo jeans and burgundy loafers: a Sunday in Notting Hill, from the market to a long lunch.
Chocolate brown blazer over a pale blue shirt and navy knitted tie, grey worsted trousers and dark brown brogues: an autumn evening at a private view in Mayfair.

Match your shoes a shade darker than the jacket. Brown on brown works when the leather anchors the cloth, never the other way round.

What trousers go with men's brown blazers?

Grey, stone, cream and dark indigo denim all go well with men's brown blazers. Grey worsted gives the smartest result, while denim keeps things relaxed. Avoid trousers in the same brown, which flatten the outfit.

Can you wear black shoes with a brown blazer?

Black shoes can work with a very dark chocolate blazer, but brown, burgundy or tan shoes are a far easier match. They pick up the warmth of the cloth and keep the outfit coherent. Suede is a reliable choice for relaxed looks.

Is a brown blazer smart enough for the office?

A brown blazer in a smooth worsted is smart enough for most offices, especially with a white shirt and grey trousers. Darker shades such as chocolate read more formal than tobacco. Textured cloths are better saved for Fridays and weekends.
