The premium Mayfair collection is designed for the gentleman who is in control: the owner of the sailing team or stable who participates by orchestrating the social events and being the driving force behind these winning teams. Separates are very important in the collection, which has been designed with easily mixed andmatched jackets and trousers. The Hackett Mayfair travel capsule includes standout pieces such as a reversible packaway bomber and packaway trench coat, lightweight, completely waterproof and easy to pack for those weekend getaways. Elegant micro patterns and jacquard fabrics give depth to shirting and the detailing inside the waistband of trousers. These paisley prints and polka dots offer a whimsical touch to new summer shirts. A more formal style features a higher collar, cut to sit with a blazer and a new cut-away style features bigger buttons and extra detailing on the button holes with coloured thread. A new introduction to the Mayfair collection is tailored swimwear. The new slimmer swimwear features no elastication and 1960s-style adjustable buckles. Pinstripe and check suits are predominant in Hackett Mayfair’s tailoring collection with a double-breasted suit updated with a wider, double-pleat trouser in a classically narrow shape. Hackett introduces a new double- breasted jacket with a sculptured roped shoulder and a narrow waist, giving a handsome sleek and slim look. Hackett’s main casual wear collection is split into three main sections of inspiration – Summer Sailing, Polo Picnic & Queen’s Tennis – with Hackett’s signature tailoring running throughout.
