Men's shirts
Men's shirts form the base layer of almost every outfit, which is why the fabric and collar shape matter as much as the fit itself.
Fabric and weave across the range
The collection spans crisp Oxford cotton for casual and smart-casual wear through to a smoother poplin for business settings, alongside twill weaves for added texture. A non-iron finish on the business styles reduces creasing significantly after washing, while a softer brushed cotton suits colder months. Fabrics are sourced with the same rigour Hackett London has applied since opening its first shop on King's Road in 1983.
Collar shapes across men's shirts
A button-down collar suits Oxford cotton particularly well and leans casual, while a cutaway or classic point collar reads more formal for business and tailored settings. Cuff style follows a similar logic — a single button suits everyday wear, while a double cuff calls for cufflinks and a more formal register.

What's the difference between Oxford and poplin shirts?
Oxford cotton has a slightly heavier, textured weave that reads casual, while poplin is smoother and crisper, generally considered more formal for business wear.
Do non-iron shirts actually need no ironing?
Non-iron shirts reduce creasing significantly through a special finish applied during manufacturing, though a light touch-up with an iron may still be needed after washing for a fully crisp finish.
How should a dress shirt fit through the body?
A well-fitted shirt should sit close through the body without pulling at the buttons, with enough room to move comfortably, and cuffs that finish just at the wrist bone.
