The Harrington has been quietly holding its corner of menswear for decades and the good ones never really announce themselves. That is the whole point. It is a jacket that works over a plain tee on a Saturday, under a wool coat when the temperature drops unexpectedly, or thrown on before leaving the house when you do not want to think too hard. The problem is that a lot of them try to improve on the original and end up worse for it. Fussy hardware, odd fabrications, cuts that sit somewhere between a bomber and a track jacket without committing to either. We have been looking specifically for versions that understand what made the Harrington worth keeping in the first place. Clean silhouette. Proper fit through the shoulders. A tartan lining that nods to the heritage without making a song and dance of it. These are the ones that slot into a wardrobe like they were always there.
