Quick explainer for all you rubes out there - the classic Harrington jacket. It also gives me the opportunity to bore (some of) you all with a few fun facts about the classic spring jacket which no doubt almost all of you are looking to refresh for the new season.
This below of course is a Baracuta one, who for some reason are the only ones who (as far as I know, exclusively) produce them with this particular tartan lining. Rod or someone, please correct me on this, but I believe this is the "Fraser" clan's tartan and also the original.
The standard tartan (as seen in Merc, Warrior or others) is very subtly different. Likewise Ben Sherman have another variation which is more like a window check shirt pattern.
Modern Classic Clothing leaves the whole thing behind and goes for a Madras check lining, which is a nice bit of change for anyone who is bored of the Scots or is allergic to red and green. I once also saw (and owned) a paisley one ... but I can't find that on sale anywhere now... lucky those who got one of those.
