Hackett London crafts countryside pieces in wax and cable knit
As the seasons shift, Hackett London turns to tactile textures and robust fabrications. Waxed jackets, cable knit sweaters and canvas detailing speak to a particular kind of ease: the unhurried confidence of those who belong to wild places.

Hackett London has long understood the grammar of rural dressing, and this season’s offerings distil that knowledge into pieces that feel both rooted in tradition and entirely contemporary. A waxed jacket in deep charcoal sits at the heart of the collection, its canvas weave substantial enough to withstand the elements, its patina deepening with wear and weather. Alongside it, cable knit sweaters in natural and navy tones carry the kind of textural richness that invites touch; these are garments built to last, their construction thoughtful and precise.
What distinguishes Hackett’s approach is its refusal of mere nostalgia. The white shirt worn beneath the waxed jacket carries crisp cotton proportions, suggesting not fancy dress but genuine practicality. Navy trousers fall with an ease that belongs neither to formal occasions nor to weekend casualness, but to that particular realm where comfort and polish coexist. Even the lace up boots chosen for this landscape speak to utility refined, their leather darkened by real use rather than artificial aging.
The setting itself, with its Alpine lake and slate coloured mountains, becomes part of Hackett’s narrative. Wooden benches catch the soft light; a motorcycle stands sentinel beside the figure, its chrome and steel echoing the landscape’s own particular romance. This is not fantasy, but rather the kind of life that Hackett’s pieces are genuinely made to inhabit: considered, unrushed, engaged with the physical world.
