The Harrington jacket was born in Manchester back in 1937, when John Miller and his brothers came up with the legendary tartan-lined G9 jacket in their Baracuta factory on Chorlton Street, just a stones throw from our office window.
The G9 has been worn most famously by Steve McQueen as well as Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Arnold Palmer and the 1966 England World Cup team. The mods adopted it as one of their staple wardrobe pieces in the 60s and re-christened it as the Harrington after Ryan O'Neal's character 'Rodney Harrington' in the Peyton Place TV series.
It's not just all about the G9 though, we're also stocking the straight cut, belted G4 golf jacket for the summer. Similar to Burberry's classic golf jacket but with a slimmer cut silhouette.
