On the hunt for the perfect harrington jacket.

Posted by Specs on March 4, 2019 at 11:20pm in Style

Hi everyone. Please excuse me if this is a douplicate post, and has been answered elsewhere on here... So I am on the lookout for the perfect harrington jacket. I'm having no luck at all. I keep looking at the typical sites such as ben sherman, fred perry, etc. But it seems that they're all a bit extremely small fitting from what I've read and most people don't like the quality and have ended up returning said jacket.

Can anyone recommend a brand that actually fits well, and is nicely made. I understand a lot of people will suggest baracuta, but I don't think I want to spend 500 bucks on a jacket. Also please keep in mind that I'm in the USA. I realize a lot of brands will be UK based. Thanks for any help on this.

Anyone late to this post, avoid at all costs a Levis Harrington.

I love their Jeans, I still on occasion wear my vintage denim trucker jacket and would like a red corduroy version. So I thought I'd buy one of their Harringtons. The sizing was a horrendous, and I tried on 3 sizes, I looked like a bag of potatoes. Needless to say I'll be getting another Baracuta.

  Hows the fit on the jacket? Is it super slim or kinda forgiving?
