The black Harrington is very 1979 2 Tone Rude Boy.

Everyone around here early/mid teens had one, usually with ironed on red letters on the back saying The Specials or The Selecter.

Had one myself but without the lettering. Light blue Sta-Prest, I thought it was always going to be like this!

Spot on. I had one myself at that exact moment. Very 1979-80 indeed. With the Stewart tartan. Difference here is the quality, back vent, muck thicker material, and no tartan on the lapels for a more subtle and elegant touch. I was referring to the one I had in the time, a few days ago while speaking with @cerneabbas, saying the FP is the luxury and ultimate version. Really had the old one in mind, that’s why I wanted the black one. A throw back in time, but with a contemporary touch, and age appropriate. Here and now.

Edit: yes worn there and then with sta prest or jeans, DMs, FP, and sometimes with one of those cheap pork pie hats, remember them?

How do you wear the new one?

How do you wear the new one?

At the moment quite casually, and not very far from the way I wore a Harrington in the time : with a FP tennis shirt or a Sweatshirt, black denim jeans, and black DM shoes or sneakers.

But the black FP Harrington can also be dressed up, for example: « with white OCBD, dark grey trousers and black Brogues for a slightly smarter look sometime ». As recently told me @cerneabbas, who also has one.

If you guys remember « The Jim Ferguson Friday challenge », @Mr Knightley and I re-enacted the Harrington drawing, that was quite smart. IIRC it was worn with a FP, sta-prest, and brogues. That’s a classic look.

That was a good challenge!

The details on your new Harrington are quite superb.

 

[Mr Knightley]

The discussion about Harrington jackets prompted me to wear one of mine yesterday. Combat from Ben Nevis. Polo RL BD.

 

[Kingstonian]

Ben Nevis is a sound choice.

 

[Byrone]

Never heard about it before tbh.
