Hegarty is a London-based outerwear and ready-to-wear brand founded by designer Matthew Hegarty, committed to design, ethics, and uncompromising quality. The brand was built on the belief that a beautifully made coat or jacket can define an outfit, carry timeless appeal, and reflect a deeper story of craft, responsibility, and intent.
Every Hegarty garment is designed and made in London using exclusively British-sourced fabrics. The brand takes pride in its label-within-the-label — Made in London — a mark of its commitment to local manufacturing, ethical practices, and sustainability. By working directly with London factories and specialist suppliers across England, Hegarty ensures full transparency, fair pay for skilled artisans, and an uncompromising level of craftsmanship. Each piece is hand-finished, cut with precision, and designed to last.
Sustainability is not a trend at Hegarty; it is the foundation. Collections are made using organic fabrics, locally sourced wool, by-product leathers, non-toxic dyes, and carefully selected deadstock materials. Even packaging reflects this ethos, with all boxes and tissue paper made from 100% recycled and recyclable materials.
Design inspiration draws from English tailoring, military heritage, American denim, Parisian couture, and cinematic references from the 1940s through to the 1970s. Equally important, inspiration is found in everyday life — in unexpected details, fleeting moments, and quiet observations. A mark on a wall, the fold of a material, the way something wears or distorts over time — these lived, often overlooked moments inform the brand’s approach as much as traditional references. It is this instinctive, inquisitive way of seeing that gives Hegarty its distinctive point of view.
The result is fashion that is enduring, versatile, and gender-fluid where it matters, yet grounded in classic silhouettes that honour both tradition and innovation. Hegarty pieces are made to endure in wardrobes, to be rediscovered season after season, and to remain relevant as styles evolve.
In just over four years, Hegarty has grown from two core styles into a considered, holistic collection with a growing global audience. Signature pieces such as the Women’s Pea Coat and the Hegarty Cloak exemplify the brand’s approach: refined, sustainable, and designed with integrity.
At its heart, Hegarty champions slow fashion — offering an alternative to disposable trends and exploitative production. Each garment carries dignity: for the wearer, who looks and feels empowered, and for the makers, whose craft is respected and celebrated.
Looking ahead, Hegarty continues to expand thoughtfully, with a vision to build a complete ready-to-wear wardrobe and accessories that embody its founding principles. For those with discerning taste and strong values, Hegarty offers fashion that is enduring, ethical, and unmistakably London-made.
