The Harrington is one of those jackets that looks effortless on the right person and slightly off on everyone else, and the difference is almost always fit. Too boxy and it reads like a hand-me-down. Too slim and you lose the whole casual ease that makes it worth wearing in the first place. We’ve been looking specifically at versions that land in the middle, where the shoulders sit clean, the body has room without excess, and the ribbed hem doesn’t pull or bunch when you move. The original design is already good. Waist-length, stand collar, that tartan lining. It doesn’t need reinventing. It needs executing well. These are the versions that do exactly that, in cuts that work over a tee as easily as they work over a oxford shirt. Not trying to be anything other than what they are. That’s the whole point of a Harrington and these ones understand it.
