The Vibe:
The zip-up blouson, also known as the Harrington or golf jacket, has a century-long history in menswear. An icon of the New Wave and Britpop musicians of the ’80s and ’90s, it is seeing a revival amidst the current generation’s fashion nostalgia. We’ve sprinkled a touch of Americana and street style with this look, while maintaining sharp tailoring details.

Tailoring Suggestions:
The faintly visible glen plaid check is a nod to the tartan fabrics that lined the original designs.

The soft shoulder and relaxed structure of the Harrington jacket feels like a shirt-jacket, with gold hardware and leather trim for a luxurious touch.

Consider a soft cupro fabric to line the jacket; or tailor it unlined.

A close alternative of the Harrington jacket is the quarter-zip, which is trending right now.

Go for a slightly tapered fit and add sporty fasteners to turn it into a versatile jacket for semi-formal and casual dressing.

Style it with:
A simple shirt or a cotton polo T-shirt. Accessorise freely; with a cap and belt for a street, punkish look, or a shirt and tie for the office-bound. Pair it with shorts for the beach or sports game
