Harrington: Merc, Ben Nevis, Jump the Gun

[sadkfjaskfaj]

I'm looking for a new Harrington jacket. I like having a stiff collar that stands up, and a thicker fabric (I find the Ben Shermans too thin). Budget about $120.

I've narrowed it down to Merc, Ben Nevis, and Jump the Gun.

https://www.merc.com/products/the-classic-harrington-jacket?variant=16219768946790 Merc looks good. I don't like the logo on the left chest though (is it possible to take it off?)

https://www.bennevisclothing.com/product/harrington-jacket-navy/ Ben Nevis's looks a bit floppy which I don't like. I want it stiffer. Also the fabric looks a bit thin.

https://jumpthegun.co.uk/product/harrington-navy-raglan/ Jump the Gun's collar looks a bit floppy which I don't like. I want it stiffer.

Anyone have experiences with these brands? Thanks.

Also you might get more replies next door in Streetwear and Denim on either of two threads entitled ‘Mod to Suedehead’ and They Look Goes On’

Good luck!

You get what you pay for. If you want a Harrington, a good one, I think you have two choices: the original, the Baracuta G9; and a good "Harrington-style" jacket, Private White VC's Harrington (which has the stiff collar you say you want). Neither have visible logos, neither of them fall inside your budget.

In addition to Andy's suggestions, you might consider Grenfell. Shop around and you might find some on sale.

You should ask here IMO :

The Look goes on...

I was wondering how to respond. I am not aware of any particular links between Pringle and the colour yellow. You know I generally agree with you about logos. Sometimes I can look past a logo if I like an item - as I think you did recently when you bought some Weejuns with logo tags. On the...

There's also an old Jump the Gun thread.

Jump the Gun UK, great webstore for SUSS

Jump the Gun in Brighton, UK is a great online shop worth checking out for good gear at normal person prices. Esp now with the $/GBP exchange being so good for us yanks It's primarily geared to skinheads/mods but obviously anyone can wear this stuff as it's all classically influenced (skinheads...
