Baracuta
The Original Harrington
Baracuta G9 Cotton-Blend Harrington Jacket
Let’s throw this one to Esquire shopping editor, Luke Guillory, who has a real affinity for the classics:
“Honestly, the list could stop here. Baracuta debuted the G9 in 1938, and has a better claim than any to creating the style. A G9 will run you $450, but that’s because the brand is dedicated to making it the right way and still in the U.K. Mr. Porter stocks a few versions, but for the full breadth of Baracuta’s Harrington lineup, with options like seersucker and garment-dyed canvas, head over to the OG’s site.”

What To Look For
Every pick on this list has one thing in common: They’re all transitional and versatile as hell. You can dress any of these jackets up with something as simple as a pleated trouser and a loafer, or dress them down with jeans and sneakers. From the top-ranging Harringtons to the most affordable ones, they all have a classic, timeless look that’s hard to go wrong with.
Some things, like the design of the collar and what kind of front fastening the jacket has, are down to personal preference. A stickler for the rules would say a Harrington needs that stand-up storm collar, but modern fashion uses the term when a pointed collar is in play as well. Again, the classic choice is a water-resistant cotton/poly or nylon blend, but high-end suede might be more your vibe.
