Hackett began life in 1970 when Jeremy Hackett and Ashley Lloyd-Jennings met while searching for second hand gentlemen's clothing in Portobello Road, West London. In 1983 they opened their first shop on the New King's Road. The first Hackett range of clothing and accessories was launched 1985, created by traditional manufacturers carefully sourced by the two founders. Since that day the Hackett story has been one of untrammelled success. In 1987 they fomed the Hackett Polo Club, and opened a new shop in the City of London. International expansion soon followed, and by 1994 Hackett had a shop on the Left Bank in Paris, an accolade accorded to very few British brands. Hackett became especially well known after their sponsorship of the English rugby team in 1997, which culminated in the team's World Cup triumph in 2003. Hackett now have 29 shops across Europe, with global stores in Hong Kong and Dubai.

Hackett’s clothes span personal and bespoke tailoring, formal wear including dinner jackets, business clothing such as ties, suits, business shirts and trousers, smart men’s casual clothing including jackets and trousers, Men’s Autumn/Winter Clothing including jumpers, designer cardigans, v-neck jumpers, men’s jackets, coat, and gilets, through sportswear including rugby shirts and men’s polo shirts to luxury men’s accessories including caps, hats, wallets, scarves, gloves, cufflinks, and grooming products. Hackett sponsor some of the biggest names in British sport, and seem to enjoy good luck with their sponsorship deals; in 2002 Jonny Wilkinson became the face of Hackett, and in the following year became a national hero with his last minute drop goal to win the Rugby World Cup against Australia.
