Vintage Harrington Jackets

A Vintage Harrington Jacket is a lightweight, waist length jacket traditionally made with a zip front, stand up collar, and tartan lining. Originally popularised in the 1950s and 60s, it became a staple of mod, punk, and casual street style. It remains popular today because of its versatility, timeless silhouette, and ability to be styled across both smart and casual outfits.

A Harrington jacket can be styled in many ways depending on the look you want. It works well with jeans and a plain t shirt for a classic casual outfit, or layered over a button up shirt for a smarter vintage inspired look. It also pairs well with chinos, boots, or sneakers, making it a versatile piece for year round wear.
