Description

A jacket with soul, first stitched in the 1950s and still handcrafted in Manchester. This Harrington has dressed rebels, musicians, and silver-screen icons for generations. Constructed from waterproof Ventile cotton with a stand collar and military-grade copper hardware from RIRI of Switzerland, it features raglan sleeves for unrestricted movement, stud-adjustable hem for personalised fit, and secure internal pockets. Two external welt pockets and etched copper rivets complete the design. As natural, piece-dyed cotton, Ventile develops character with wear. Timeless, understated, and unmistakably British.

Ventile® was designed and developed up the road from our Manchester factory at the direct request from Winston Churchill during World War II. The final brief given to Manchester’s Shirley Institute in 1943 by the Ministry of Defence was to create a cloth that would help prolong the survival rates of RAF Pilots.
Ventile® was also famously used in the first ever summit of Mount Everest in 1953.
