Despite the dodgy weather, it's time to hang up the parker and peacoats for another year. Need to buy myself some new light jackets and thought it's time to get myself a Harrington. Not had one for a long time. Warrior do theirs at about £24. Anyone know if they are good quality? Any suggestions on other Harringtons or other light jackets to recommend?
Warrior are made with a knife and fork, they're really cheap and you get what you pay for. The Baracuta G9 is the original and it's the best, though they don't come cheap, they're £120-250(lifetime investment). Fred Perry aren't much cheaper and they're not as good, Merc ones are £65-85 and they're not bad, £50-70 for Ben Sherman and a Lambretta one is also £70. I'd go better than Warrior if you can, they really are ****ty.
I got a baracUta G9 but it was too small. I got the biggest size but tight on the shoulders and arms too short. I was gutted as wanted one for years.
Answered my question. Think I may invest in the baracuta, but always like a bargain. I'll cross the warrior off the list.
It is indeed, you can sometimes pick up a bargain, they've got a pop-up store in Covent Garden, I got mine half price from there. They've got a clearance section on their website... http://www.baracuta-g9.com/sale/1?awc=2929_1336842773_d5944b4c80b4f0c34e82c1bbec1ee5ec
Looks like some are going at half price. Also some at half price on atom retro. Looks like I'll be going for a Baracuta then. http://www.atomretro.com/category.cfm?sale=false&start=1&category_id=99&&man_id=0&order=pricelow&rows=12
Iv got my red one and my black one still.. I have seen a shop in Scarborough on huntress row off the main street selling replicas that look as good as the genuine 70's ones . Deffo better then the warrior ones
I got my first one from a Leicester City fan . Just before arthur masons started selling them in Hull.
The sizing is very small, if you're ordering online, order bigger a bigger size than you normally would, possibly even two sizes.
I had a two tone Harrington by Rodeo when I was a wee boy. Got it from C and A and hated it at first. It wasn't until the older kids at school told me it was really cool that I began to like it. C and A, Rodeo. Doubt that will be bettered. That is all.
I like a slim fit but think I'd better size up. Quite liking this anorak too please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Then there's this little number please log in to view this image and this nylon Harrington please log in to view this image I basically want them all.
I bought my first Harrington (black) from this little market on Wright Street, right down the end on the right. Must have been early 80s. Lasted me until I outgrew it. I might have to get a replacement at some point. £65 for a G9 sounds perfect.
