Opinions on best Harrington Jacket from these options I have?
A few weeks ago, I asked for Harrington Jacket recommendations (UK-based) under £150.
Received some recommendations + after researching more over the weekend, I've found what I believe are the best options....(?).
Looking for Navy, classic tartan lining (open to plain!) + I think I'd be size S.
This would be a spring/summer jacket, so layering w/ just a T-shirt/Shirt... (and/or maybe a jumper, for autumn..?)
Will skip 2nd hand + Baracuta's, unless there's a bargain (like one for £50, haha).
These are in order of preference (+ I'll probably go for option 1/2)!:
1) £80 / £89 | Modfather (Real Hoxton) / Real Hoxton website) | https://modfatherclothing.com/collections/mens-jackets-coats/products/real-hoxton-navy-harrington-jacket / https://www.realhoxton.com/product/navy-harrington/
(Both the same brand, but Modfather have it £9 cheaper...)
2) £70 | Jump the Gun | https://jumpthegun.co.uk/product/harrington-navy-raglan/
(odd 'blue', but store said it's the usual "normal/darker navy, photos dont do it justice".
3) £62 | Ben Nevis Clothing | https://www.bennevisclothing.com/product/the-royal-62-combat-harrington-jacket-navy/#prettyPhoto
4) £50 | Relco | https://relcolondon.com/collections/harrington/products/navy-vintage-harrington-jacket-for-men?variant=6967143366703
5) £145 | Community Clothing | https://communityclothing.co.uk/products/mens-harrington-jacket-navy-2?variant=45219925197077
(Nice option from cfdchopper that doesnt have the traditional 'tartan lining', thanks! )
---------------------------
5) £110 | Merc | https://www.merc.com/products/harrington-jacket?variant=16219768914022
(I just dont like the small logo in the 'heart' area).
7) £34.95 | HarringtonJacketStore | https://www.harringtonjacketstore.co.uk/collections/harrington-jackets/products/classic-harrington-jacket-navy?variant=21702604231
(only worry is that it's super cheap/quality).
Thanks! 🙂

Extra Questions:
1) Are Harrington Jackets still in style? They're timeless, but seem less talked about lately. Just curious about their current status.
2) Does it feel/look like an old mans Jacket? Do people in their late 20's wear this / or something better?
To answer these I recommend you find inspo that you like that uses the jacket. If you can't find much then whether they're on trend or not is irrelevant.
What do you mean by "timeless" if you're still concerned about them being 'on trend' and suitable for someone in their 20s?
honestly jump the gun's cool, even moreso if it's accidentally more vivid blue
regarding the other questions it's largely a matter of how you wear it and your own personal tastes. i wear a harrington and find it's plenty versatile https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1116800072093532191/1209918668859908136 https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1116800072093532191/1212409944863670342
Ye cool.
I just read a few comments here and there (even one on here from someone asking about Harringtons) that mentioned either "not as popular/ worn a lot".
So it got in my head a little lol
I've seen reviews /inspo albums of even younger people wearing it.
nice.
Where is your's from again?
mine is vintage, i found it at a local flea market
the brand is sir jac, there's a fair amount on etsy and ebay
