Ralph Lauren Harrington jackets

Pre-owned Ralph Lauren Harrington jackets in cotton, corduroy and other fabrics, with a zip front, a short collar and the embroidered polo player on the chest.

The Harrington jacket

The Harrington began as a British golf jacket in the late 1930s. It took its name in the 1960s from Rodney Harrington, a character in the American television series Peyton Place who wore one. The classic Harrington is a short, lightweight jacket with a zip front, a short collar that fastens with buttons, ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem and a check lining.

The Ralph Lauren Harrington

Ralph Lauren makes the Harrington in cotton twill, in corduroy and in other fabrics, with the polo player embroidered on the chest and often a plaid or check lining inside. The label inside names the line, such as Polo Ralph Lauren or Lauren Ralph Lauren. Other Ralph Lauren jackets, such as bomber jackets and windbreakers, are on the page Ralph Lauren jackets.

Size and measurements

A Harrington is cut short, ending at the waist, and Ralph Lauren cuts differ between lines and years, so the letter on the label is a rough guide.

The full range is on the Ralph Lauren page, with pages for men and women. The Ralph Lauren guide explains the lines and the labels.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a Harrington and a bomber jacket?

The collar. A Harrington has a short collar that fastens with buttons, and a bomber jacket has a ribbed knit collar that matches its ribbed cuffs and hem.

How can a genuine Ralph Lauren Harrington be recognised?

On a genuine jacket the polo player is densely embroidered, with the rider, the mallet and the horse clearly separated, and the neck label and the care label match the line and the fabric.
