Sale suits men
Sale suits men at Hackett London: British tailoring at its most considered, now at reduced prices — floating canvas construction, Savile Row-informed cuts and a cloth that earns its place from the boardroom to a black-tie dinner.
Construction and cloth of Hackett suits
The sale suits men at Hackett London divide into two main lines by construction method. The tailored line carries a floating canvas in the jacket chest — a technique drawn directly from the Savile Row tradition that allows the cloth to move with the body rather than against it — while the Essential line works with a high-quality fused interlining for consistent shape retention under intensive daily wear. The outer cloth is pure wool in both cases: merino wool at 260 g/m² for mid-weight models suited to most of the British calendar, and tropical wool at 200 g/m² for summer cuts where comfort in warm weather is the priority. Trousers arrive with unfinished hems, ready for a bespoke trouser-maker's adjustment, and a viscose lining to the knee.
The jacket shoulders are natural and unpadded — more freedom of movement, less industrial stiffness. The notch lapel is the standard on city models; the peak lapel appears on the more formal cuts where presence is as important as comfort.
Cuts: Mayfair slim fit and regular fit
The men's suits Hackett in sale cover two main cuts. The slim fit Mayfair — a closer chest, a defined waist, a narrower sleeve — is the collection's city cut, designed for proportionate builds. The regular fit carries wider natural shoulders, more room through the chest and a straight fall from the torso; the right choice for long days or for those who favour ease of movement in a professional context.
How to wear a Hackett sale suit
The sale suits men Hackett serve two very different registers. Two concrete suggestions:
Charcoal wool suit with a white shirt, navy silk tie and black cap-toe: the working week without a single weak point, from Chelsea to the City.
The same jacket worn separately over a fine merino crew neck, flannel trousers and a brown suede loafer: the suit jacket as a considered piece of weekend dressing.
The merino suit in navy — the most requested tone in the collection — functions in the most formal register without feeling severe and accepts a checked shirt in contexts where a tie isn't required.
How to find the right size in Hackett suits
The men's suits Hackett London follow standard European sizing in chest and sleeve length. For the Mayfair slim fit, when between two chest sizes, the smaller is generally the better choice: the canvas gives the cloth body, and it gives less than an unstructured jacket. Trousers arrive with unfinished hems, cut for 5ft 10in to 6ft; above that, regular-fit models take better to a tailor's adjustment.
What is the difference between the Mayfair and the Essential suit at Hackett?
The Mayfair is Hackett's tailored line: floating canvas in the chest, natural horsehair shoulders and a lining in silk or high-density viscose. The result is a jacket that improves with wear and develops a personal fall over time. The Essential is the line for intensive daily use: high-quality fused interlining, a faster construction and a lower price point — without compromise on outer cloth or cut. For occasions: Mayfair. For five days a week: Essential.
How do you care for a Hackett wool suit?
Hackett wool suits should be dry cleaned. Between wears, hang on a wide-shouldered hanger and allow the cloth to breathe: wool recovers its shape naturally without constant pressure. For spot marks, a cold damp cloth on the affected area without rubbing, then air dry before storing. The washing machine is to be avoided on all models with canvas interlining.
Are Hackett suits fully lined?
Most tailored jackets in the sale suits men collection at Hackett London are fully lined in silk or viscose, which makes the jacket easier to put on and improves the fall of the outer cloth. Lighter summer models in linen or cotton may carry a half lining or a back lining only, to improve breathability without losing structure.
