The Ventile® Harrington - Midnight Navy

I am 171cm, 84 kilos and wears size 25 short with Suitsupply relax fit blazer for reference. The overall fit is excellent with the exception of the sleeve length for me. The sleeves is 2-3cm long for me. The material is of quality and the hardware seems sturdy. I got to test its weatheproofness yesterday and it did not disappoint. The color is accurate, however even with 10% discount, the price is still steep.

I’ve been looking for a quality Harrington jacket for a while, and have tried many other brands. Thank god I kept looking and found this one.The quality of finish is fantastic. Plus it’s make in the UK. The history of the brand is awesome. I will definitely be buying more from here.

I've been looking for a well-made Harrington jacket for a long time. And I freely admit I'm fussy. I didn't want any of that knitted nonsense on the cuffs and collar. I wanted a material that was lightweight, yet tough. And I wanted a breathable cotton lining. This jacket, remarkably, ticks all those boxes. It's even available in my favourite midnight navy colour - so blue it's almost black. Add all the copper accents and it's nearly perfect. So why not five stars? Well it turns out the sleeve linings are made of viscose. I know it helps with glide when you put it on or take it off. But it's not breathable, which I find to be a little at odds with the lovely Ventile fabric on the outside - which IS breathable. Private White did offer to tailor the sleeve linings with Bemberg Cupro instead, which is a less toxic and more breathable alternative to Viscose. (Ultimately my tailor did this.) Maybe that's an upgrade for the next version PW?. Overall though, definitely my favourite jacket. Though I've got my eye on that peacoat...
