Before we delve into this garment’s history, let’s first define the characteristics of a Harrington jacket as we know it today.
· A waist length jacket.
· Made of either cotton , wool or leather ( also available in synthetics )
· Usually a single color on the outside.
· Fits snugly around the waist with an expandable elastics along the bottom hem and cuffs.
· Has a full front zip that runs all the way up to the neck.
· Has two buttoned flap pockets on either side in the lower fronts which are cut at an angle of 45 degrees.
· Straight collar much like a mandarin collar that fastens with two buttons.
· A back yoke that is designed to allow the rain to run away from the jacket and the wearer. This unique design feature was inspired by the umbrella.
