It's Harrington Style Jacket,the original Harrington hails from the North,it seems pretty good quality and is actually made in the UK,fuck all else is these days, even Triumph Motorbikes are not all made in UK now,don't tell JJ

Apparently, the original Harrington's were made in Manchester. Apart, from great venues Manchester has historic fashion as well.

I still regret not buying one of those Stranglers bomber jackets SIS had for sale in the mid eighties!

I've got the Aural Sculpture tour jacket that I've never worn - someone said they wanted it ages ago, but if they've changed their mind I'm open to offers for it. Not quite as tacky IMO as the original bomber jacket which I recall was very shiny.

Re: The Anniversary Harrington Style Jacket.
Not really a Harrington type jacket is it and for £60 .
Now if they had done a flight style jacket that I think would of been better ..blimey the amount of different flight jackets i used to have back in the day so love the stlye of it.
The Harrington jacket they've got I don't think is all that tbh...I much prefer the sweatops snd t shirts

Re: The Anniversary Harrington Style Jacket.
Exactly, it looks like an ill fitting Harrington you see old men wear from M&S. The original Harrington was worn slightly 'smaller' size by Skins/mods/ska-boys/girls halfway up your back lol.

Re: The Anniversary Harrington Style Jacket.
JJ has got a bit of a Mod / Vulcan haircut nowadays so perhaps the band are slowly turning into a Mod band hence the Harrington? And we’ve still got the Fred Perry twin tipped style Stranglers logo polo shirts too.
Shush this is serious

Re: The Anniversary Harrington Style Jacket.
I seem to remember being told there were only 25 made, but I can't verify that. The sleeves zip off.
