Classic men’s Harrington jackets
The men’s Harrington jacket is a lightweight, waist-length style with a zip front, a straight collar and elasticated cuffs and hem. It became a British wardrobe staple, often lined with tartan check, and it still looks sharp today. Compare Harrington jackets for men from UK retailers here and buy from the one you prefer. Colours such as navy, tan and olive are the most popular, and a simple design pairs well with jeans, chinos and polo shirts.
Harrington jackets and how they fit
A good Harrington should sit neatly at the waist, with sleeves that end at the wrist and shoulders that follow your own line. If you want to browse the wider range, see harrington jackets and compare fabrics such as cotton twill and showerproof blends. The stand collar and press-stud tab keep wind off your neck, and a tartan lining remains a recognisable detail. Try layering a thin knit underneath, then check you can still move freely.
Smart ways to wear a Harrington
A mens Harrington coat in a slightly longer cut works well for commuting, while shorter versions suit casual weekends. Wear the jacket with an Oxford shirt and loafers for smart casual, or with a plain tee and trainers for something sportier. Women also like the same silhouette, so compare women’s harrington jackets if you are shopping for a partner. Keep the palette simple, and let the collar and lining do the talking, especially if you choose a checked interior.
Caring for your Harrington jacket
Most Harringtons are cotton or cotton blends, so a cool machine wash is usually fine, though you should always read the label. Zip the jacket fully before washing and avoid fabric softener, which can affect any water-repellent finish. Hang it to dry, then press lightly on the reverse side to reduce wrinkles. Keep it on a shaped hanger, and check cuffs and hem elastic every so often, since these see the most wear and are simple to refresh or replace.
