But I wonder what all the excitement is about? Yes they look nice,but I see quite a few disgruntled fans selling them on as they were to small,no offence intended,but have fans got bigger or have the sizes become smaller? Major General kudu.The Anniversary Harrington Style Jacket.

The Anniversary Harrington Style Jacket.
Ok a bit of levity needed maybe? I think the Anniversary Harrington Style Jacket seems to have created a buzz around some fans? The first Limited edition run sold out within a few hours and now the second run of this Limited edition run is down to xxxxxxxxL size and xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxLLLLLL sizes ok a bit of exaggeration there

I take it you won't be buying?

I'm inclined to agree.

Re: The Anniversary Harrington Style Jacket.
How do you know they are selling like hot cakes? Do you have access to sales figures? I think the few that want them tend to post photos on social media.

Re: The Anniversary Harrington Style Jacket.
Because they sold out initially in a few hours,and now they are almost sold out again,so seems to be demand for them,it's funny how It said limited edition,then they sold out And back again Limited editiontheraven1979 wrote: ↑20 Mar 2024, 13:29 How do you know they are selling like hot cakes?

Re: The Anniversary Harrington Style Jacket.
Exactly, I predicted in a post on here prior to the tour they would be selling them. They do something similar each tour. Gotta top those pensions up somehow!

Re: The Anniversary Harrington Style Jacket.
The jacket was/is an insult to the history of The Harrington jacket. As Jim said, its tacky and looks tatt. One for the fanboys definitely.
The Gold disc ... another rip off, and .... did I hear a drumskin was on sale for £70.
They're not the band they used to be.

Re: The Anniversary Harrington Style Jacket.
Yes drum head that is £70.00 actually retails for £26.00,so a total fucking Rip Off but obviously some people have to much money to burn.Major Kudu.
Re: The Anniversary Harrington Style Jacket.
The Harrington isn't an item of clothing I ever associated with the Stranglers unlike leather jackets and doc martens.I always thought of it as more of a ska and mod thing.
Not condoning high prices but I understand greedy venues take a fair percentage.
