Navy Corduroy G9 Harrington Jacket

Navy Corduroy G9 Harrington Jacket

The story of the Harrington is inextricably tied to that of John Simons. As is well documented, the jacket famously earned its title from none other than John himself, who in 1965 recognised Baracuta’s G9 model, which was being sold at the Ivy Shop in Richmond, to be the same as that worn by the character of Rodney Harrington, in the 1960s TV show Peyton Place. As was customary at that time, John placed the new line centre stage in his display window, with a hand-written note dubbing it “The Rodney Harrington”, in turn forever changing the menswear lexicon.

The Baracuta G9 remains the first and most classic iteration of the Harrington jacket, first conceived in Manchester in 1937 and set apart by its unique Fraser Tartan lining, ribbed dog ear collar with two button closer, and umbrella back yoke, all of which marks it as immediately distinct from cheaper market stall iterations. The G9 is a versatile garment which pairs wonderfully with everything from artisanal Japanese denim and chukka boots to chinos and loafers.

Available in a refined corduroy fabric, this jacket is the ideal garment for the Autumn months. Much in the same way that Corduroy Sack Jacket imbues just the right amount of casual into a more conservative garment, the Suede Harrington incorporates the perfect touch of rustic chic into an inherently casual item. This smart/casual duality in itself taps into one of the most appealing aspects of the Ivy look.

    PARABOOT

    Here at John Simons we are proud to stock Paraboot, an iconic French brand with whom we have worked with since 1984, making us the oldest stockist in the UK.

    Founded by Remy Richard in the Alpine French town of Izeaux in the early 20th Century, the Paraboot brand as we know it today was born from one of Richard’s earliest visits to the USA. In 1926, Richard arrived in the USA during a boom in the rubber industry and was confronted with a new style of work boot with heavy rubber soles. This style of footwear differed greatly from the refined leather-soled shoes Richard had produced previously and served as the impetus for a new style of footwear.

    In 1927, Richard founded Paraboot, a brand with a distinct focus on rubber-soled footwear, appropriate for heavy labour. The brand’s name was a combination of the words “Para”, the town in Amazonia from whence the rubber came, and “Boot”, a nod to the American-style of footwear Richard had encountered on his travels.
