It's not a member's only jacket is it? It looks slightly different, like it would have a different name.

Re: What do you call this style of jacket?
They're two different jackets- the second is a Harrington Jacket, basically a style of golf jacket. As the legend goes, John Simons of Cecil Gee's and then his own shops gave them the name by comparing them to a Jacket worn by a character in an American Tv series shown both sides of the pond.
Can't answer the first one, pit jacket? Racer Jacket?

Third one is the Osh kosh style mechanic or pump attendent style..or arguably its more like a harrington..which is the style PT is wearing in the pic.

Has anyone seen both the navy and dark navy harringtons in person? If so, which color would you say looks better? It's hard for me to tell the difference from pictures.

Re: What do you call this style of jacket?
Golden bear make a range of harrington jackets called 'Barracuda', is that a style in its own right or just cashing in by association with the Baracuta name?
