Our Obsession With Harrington Jackets & Making Them Better

I've been obsessed with Harringtons  since I first started designing jackets. They're a classic style that's been around since the 50s, been a Mod favourite and men's style icon since.

Since it’s launch (from my dining room!) in 2018, it has always been our bestselling Spring/Summer FRAHM Jacket, always 5 Star rated by you. For our 5th Birthday, we can now offer an even more personalised choice for you to enjoy. Choose from 11 sizes, 4 colours, unlined or now also lined with inner pockets. That’s 88 possibilities to choose from!

So what's our take on Harringtons?...

Functionality. Our waxed fabric can be washed in the washing machine......

Versatility. A jacket you can wear commuting to work by bike, ordering whisky sours, or placing over puddles for partners in distress (this might sound distressing, but you can wash it in the machine, so heh, old school chivalry points all round).

Longevity. This coat is tough as hell. Twin needle stitched. Toughened stainless steel zips.

Comfort. Breathable, shower resistant, cut for activities like cycling, vented.

Attention to Detail. Gunmetal zips, embroidered labels and a beautifully sculpted collar lined with fine fleece.

 

 

We added a rear vent to dump heat and moisture. A high jawline collar for greater comfort and modern style. Longer scalloped cuffs, articulated arms and shoulders for active comfort. Subtle chest pocket for your phone. And beefed up the shoulders for a subtly tougher motorbiking aesthetic.

 

Ours is a modern classic, more technical approach to the Harrington.

 

Why the fuss?

They're a rock solid cool (but not showy) classic.

They're simple but never dull.

They're smart but not uncomfortable.

Casual not scruffy.

You can wear one for sporting endeavours for an easy-going look, or working life and look, errr, easy going too.

Steve McQueen wore them. (I mean, we should just stop with McQueen.)

This Harrington is an (almost) all year, year after year round investment. It's not cheap. But goddam if it isn't designed and built to be amazing*.
