The collar is high compared to some harringtons but I'm very happy with it, it looks great and when zipped sits perfectly on my neck.
When the temperature dropped on a business trip last week, I was grateful.
Open or with the zip down the collar seems to sit nicely on the chest.
So, yes I am happy. It's just a slightly different take on the jacket.

I see no reason to start a new thread (quite unlike me, but there). Much as I hate the stereotypical 'arrington (yes, Bara-sodding-Cuta again), and have never played golf in my life, nor intend to start doing so now, my word on it, I've been eyeing up some inexpensive USA-made golf jackets. I mean around the £20-£25 mark. Not bad, eh? So, are Grenfell still top of the range? Are Gant now just bus-pass casual clobber no longer worthy of consideration? Was the JS version all it was - or was not - cracked up to be? Brooks Brothers did something that looked rather nice, rather plain. But - and this is key - I do not want to look as if a. I'm regressing or b. on the way to being a coffin-dodger planning a cruise with Saga. Any fresh suggestions?
Forget the JS version. I've just done some checking and don't much like the sound of that rear pocket.
I wouldn't bother with Gant, definitely bus-pass casual clobber.
I always liked the Burberry Golfing jacket from the early 80's, in Blue or Beige. A mix race lad who used to come into the shop wore them with OCBD's, 501's and Cole Haan's. He always looked good.
Never thought about Burberrys' in this particular context.
