Hackett dresses Champions, Chelsea FC, away from the pitch, in classic European style

Dubai UAE, December 14, 2015: Hackett London is delighted to announce the continuation of their role as style ambassadors and official suppliers of formal wear to Chelsea Football Club until 2016.

The luxury British menswear brand will continue to dress the first-team squad, management and coaching staff, as it has done since 2014.

This year the players, on official engagements and at away matches, have stepped away from the now traditional ‘suit’ look and will be sporting a classic Chelsea cut, lightweight navy blazer each one personalised with initialised labels and high quality silver thread embroidered CFC crest. Grey lightweight trousers add to make it a very European look along with the brown suede chukka boots and cornflower blue shirt, all finished off with a tonal striped navy silk woven tie.

For a limited period only, Personally Tailored jackets based on the one worn by the players will be available in the store located nearest Stamford Bridge, Sloane Street. A selected range of CFC inspired products including pieces from the team uniform will be available at the CFC megastore and at the online Chelsea store.
The partnership is a natural fit for the two iconic London organisations. Chelsea FC has had strong links with the King's Road since the Swinging Sixties, and it is where the “Essentially British” Hackett menswear began life.

Both Hackett and Chelsea are now globally renowned, with the club winning 11 major trophies since 2003, including the Champions League, a first for a London club, and four Premier League titles.

Hackett is now available in more than 50 countries and represents the very best of British men’s style worldwide.

Jeremy Hackett, Chairman and Co-Founder of Hackett London, added: 'I have lived and worked in Chelsea and our flagship store is located in Chelsea, so when I was approached to dress the Chelsea team in formal kit it seemed the perfect opportunity to support the local team. Football has moved on tremendously in the last decade and Chelsea is now not only a first-class football team but also globally popular in markets where we too are growing our brand. The fact that Chelsea play in the Hackett colours is an added bonus.’
