A summer bomber jacket that works just as well with tailoring as with jeans.
Based on a vintage Harrington, and inspired by an old linen Hermès bomber of Simon's, this jacket is made from a lightweight but firm linen, cut in a blousy style.
It's designed to be tight at the waist – with elastic panels at the back, not all the way round, for a more elegant result – to allow for a full, flattering shape around the upper body.
The traditional back yoke of a Harrington has been turned into a ventilation mechanism, with gaps between the yoke and body allowing more air to flow through the jacket.
- Harrington-style jacket with zip front and button collar and cuffs
- Unpolished two-hole horn buttons, as used on Savile Row tailoring
- Slim RiRi zip, made in Switzerland
- Made in Manchester by Private White VC
- Two reverse-welt hip pockets and two internal patch breast pockets
- Vents allow air movement between the back body and yoke
