I love it.  That's true dedication.  I once read about Marc Bolan's obsession with Dinky Toys - then clothes - and the lengths he would go to in order to get what he craved.

Grenfell doesn’t seem to have been mentioned, they’re the best currently available Harringtons I’ve seen and for the price the quality is excellent.

That’s a very good point Hank, even in the UK if you mentioned the term ‘suedehead’ or ‘casuals’ to most people under 60 they would just look at you blankly.

Yes Hank does make a very valid point.
I’ve noticed the army green fishtail parka with fur trim hood is very much the preserve of school run mum. I’m sure nobody’s shouting ‘We are the mods’ at them from car windows.
In the UK we are getting further and further away from assumptions about a person or lumping them in with any scene/gang just because of the clothes they’re wearing that particular day.

Due to a warm spell I popped out this afternoon in a natural G9. Very ivy and a wonderful garment. How I learned to love the Harrington.

A couple of years ago all the school run mummies were in gym bunny gear or running outfits. They seem to spend their spare time training and keeping in shape.

I will take the opportunity to wear a Harrington as soon as the weather improves wherever I am. Reclaim the Harrington!

HaHa! She is a looker.

My dark navy gets worn loads. Seems to go with (almost) everything.

The blue/yellow check is a lot less versatile, but still a pleasure to pull out on the odd cool Spring morning

What happened to Izod? I picked up a couple of shirts not long ago as they seemed ok for ‘day to day’, and I had the name linked to Lacoste somewhere in my memory.
Since then I’ve noticed a load of cheap Izod branded stuff in TKMaxx etc. Strikes me it’s a name that’s been brought to add to a larger portfolio to wring out the last of it?
I might be wrong

Who sang that song, 'The More I See You, The More I Want You'?  Chris Montez, was it?  It was probably about some lonely guy, on a Sunday afternoon, gazing through the window at a closed, quiet 2 Russell Street, at a pair of cordovan beauties basking in the sunlight. 
For me, with the Harrington, it's 'The More I See You, The More I Loathe You'.  A timely reminder has cropped up Elsewhere, noted by a former 'Talk Ivy' poster (who, I suspect, has not worn the G9 in many a long year). 
But, if only Johnny Simons had had a quid or three paid into his pension-pot each time someone tried flogging one of these beastly garments, I'd be well satisfied.

The irony - John Simons, the man who first called the G9/Barracuta a 'Harrington' has always hated them. I recall being literally speechless when, at the height of my ultra-orthodox Ivy obsession in the 80s he told me he thought they were "vulgar". This after he'd flogged me a few pricey versions, including the mythical olive Gant. I thought I might just burst out crying...

There's a photograph of James Dean over on DW (I sneaked another peek).  But isn't the jury still out on whether or not that was a kosher Harrington?  I thought (many moons ago) that it might have been a McGregor Anti-Freeze.  I had one (which once drew favourable comments, although from some 'Mod revivalist' type, not a nymphomaniac), but not for long.  Rather nasty artificial fibre item.  But some think the alternative Jimbo had something knocked up for him for that dreadful film (which I'm old enough to have seen on the big screen, albeit not the first time around).  Perhaps, had he lived, he might have become a Republican governor or done a guest spot in 'Dallas'.

Sammy Ambrose has something of value to say on this subject.  I find myself, for once, in complete agreement with him.  Transport your G9 from sarf Landon to, say, Rhode Island or The Village, you might be dealing with a very different creature indeed: back to the original, golfing look perhaps (if that's your bag).  But that unzipped, aggressive, lager-swilling, belching, farting, football lout look is what turned me off to begin with - and on, for a while, to Peters, Derby, Catalina, McGregor, the London Fog G4 etc.
