VINTAGE TWEED HARRINGTON JACKET
From Britches of Georgetown!

Founded in Georgetown in 1967, Britches quickly established itself as a store that offered extremely well-made traditional clothing... but often with a slight twist, to appeal to a younger crowd who, while steeped in the Ivy clothing tradition, wanted something slightly different. Britches expanded quickly and, unlike Banana Republic, never lost its way to become just another mall brand. Unfortunately, this might have been its undoing, and in 1998 it sold off its stores, to be declared bankrupt in 2002.

This tweed Harrington jacket is a lovely example of Britches' wares! Made from a classic dark grey herringbone tweed flecked through with forest green, sky blue, rosehip red, and gorse yellow, this is cut as a traditional Harrington, with button cuffs and two slanted handwarmer pockets at the front. It has a slightly gathered waistband for a trim fit, a fully functional throat latch, and is fully lined.

It fastens with a YKK zipper that moves beautifully smoothly.

This lovely jacket is perfect for the Spring and Fall, and is just $39, or offer, boxed, shipped, and insured in the USA!
