Our American cousins go mad for Hackett apparently. And it's easy to see why. Traditional English
style at affordable prices, means you'll be able to kit yourself out from head to toe and still not
have to re-mortgage the house. As well as bespoke suits, there's a good range of casualwear
(including Hackett's trademark polo shirts and jumpers), underwear, socks and a whole host of
accessories. The company's own website gives an idea as to what's stocked, although it's by no
means a substitute for visiting Hackett's impressive flagship store. Multiple stores around
London.

Top Man offers decent tailoring and casualwear at highly affordable prices. Of course, we're not

store nonetheless provides younger men with an opportunity to look good, without ratcheting up
their credit cards to unprecedented levels. A gargantuan (and modern) store on London's most famous
shopping street.
