Why are the jackets called Harrington jackets?

Although the design had been around for some time, the jackets really became famous during the 1950s when they were worn by several movie stars and singers. One such actor portrayed the character of "Harrington" in a soap opera and because the character often wore what is now known as a Harrington jacket, the jacket got its name.

What should be kept in mind when choosing a Harrington jacket?

Choosing the right jacket can be a challenge because of all the different shapes and sizes that are available. Your choice will be much simpler if you keep the following in mind:

  • Size and cut: Look for a jacket that works well with your body shape and a cut that makes you feel comfortable. Bear in mind that a tight fitting jacket can make moving around difficult and even uncomfortable.
