Introducing the Pretty Green Hatton Smock
Pretty Green are back once again with another classic military silhouette courtesy of the Hatton Smock which arrives in a relaxed fit for the latest season.
Whenever we talk about "relaxed fits" it just automatically makes me think of the Happy Mondays tune from 1987 'Loose Fit'. Shaun Ryder went all in on the baggy look with lyrics like "Don't need no skin tights in my wardrobe today, fold them all up and put them all away". The classics Mondays song was a nod to the fits of the late 80s/early 90s Madchester look, something which you could say the likes of Pretty Green know a thing or two about. Introducing classic military cuts, obviously in a slightly "loose fit", is what they do best and this latest Pretty Green Hatton Smock is no different. As far as subculture, music & fashion is concerned it doesn't really get much more iconic than the military smock. Originally worn by the British Airborne during WW2, it's iconic 'over the head' design has become synonymous with scooter meets, 90s Britpoppers & football fans thanks to military influences within casual fashion over the last 40 years.

Launched in 2009, which was ironically the same year the Gallagher brothers had a massive bust up at the Rock en Seine festival near Paris, Pretty Green takes it name after a song by the Jam of the same name. Steeped in British subculture from the original mods of the 1960s to the revival of retro sportswear in the 1990s, Pretty Green is a British heritage brand that unites all things rock 'n' roll with a passion for classic cuts, military influences and cool looking clothes that make you want to start shaking a pair of maracas with one hand behind your back. Renowned for its military inspired outerwear & paisley prints, Pretty Green has remained a mainstay at 80s Casual Classics over the last 10 years.
