Jeremy Hackett, chairman and founder of the menswear brand, said: “I am delighted to be in collaboration with The British & Irish Lions as the Official Premium Outfitter for the next tour. Congratulations to Warren Gatland for being named the coach today and wishing the whole team best of luck!”

Lions Managing Director Ben Calveley added: “We are excited to have such a prestigious brand dressing the British & Irish Lions squad and board members.”

The upmarket men’s fashion label said the partnership highlights its “ever-evolving relationship with iconic sports”. Indeed, Hackett is also a partner of British manufacturer of luxury sports cars Aston Martin, the British Army Polo team, and Henley Royal Regatta - one of the world’s most prestigious rowing events.
