Hackett London: Khaki

It comes as no surprise that 170 years on from its inception by the British Indian army, khaki remains the go-to fabrication for every true gent’s summer uniform. Our khaki guide chronicles the modest material’s rise to popularity; from its military roots through to its modern-day resurgence. Characterised by its signature cotton twill fabric, khaki uniforms were first issued to British troops in India during 1846. Troops took advantage of the neutral colour and natural coarse texture, using it as a form of camouflage in the sandy terrain. With deep admiration for khaki’s rich military history, our new collection takes a modern approach to traditional khaki uniforms with rich linens and a rugged colour palette.
