The 13 Best Harrington Jacket to Wear Rain or Shine

Let's throw this one to Esquire shopping editor, Luke Guillory, who has a real affinity for the classics:

"Honestly, the list could stop here. Baracuta debuted the G9 in 1938, and has a better claim than any to creating the style. A G9 will run you $450, but that's because the brand is dedicated to making it the right way and still in the U.K. Mr. Porter stocks a few versions, but for the full breadth of Baracuta's Harrington lineup, with options like seersucker and garment-dyed canvas, head over to the OG's site."

Bonobos keeps it cool, casual, and classy with an infallible option. This is proof that you don't need all the bells and whistles to have a kick-ass jacket.

A true Harrington to the core, this number from Polo Ralph Lauren is a go-to style for ... just about anything, really. The tan exterior and plaid interior also add to the retro vibe of this style.

J.Crew does the classic Harrington to a T—a perfect waistline hem, elasticized cuffs, a zip front with pockets, and a collar that goes with everything.

With large pockets, a ribbed trim, and a suede shell, this is what luxury looks like in a Harrington. And let's not forget—Baracuta is the OG!

A little less traditional comes Todd Snyder's linen jacket. The perfect material for warmer weather, this breathable style has a rustic finish that makes for casual wear. Throw on a pair of white pants, and you're ready to hit Montauk.

Karik Research took the classic Harrington and put its signature spin on it. The silk facade will dress up any outfit, and the elegant, hand-embroidered sequin design is not for the faint of heart.

Reiss uses a cotton-blend seersucker to keep you from overheating in this jacket come warmer days. The button patch pockets and pinstripe design give a vintage aesthetic to whatever you choose to wear this piece with.

That's right: Nike makes a Harrington jacket. It's the perfect style to zip up before or after your workout, taking you straight from the gym out to drinks with the guys. And don't overlook the details—from the front welt pockets to the subtle Swoosh.

Corduroy Harrington jackets exist, and this is proof. This sandstone hue is neutral enough to go with just about anything, but it's not boring. Two-way front zip closure and front pockets make for added convenience, and it's been garment dyed so it feels super s

This Harrington jacket is the most transitional, not just in relation weather temperatures, but also for versatile wear. Paired with some black slacks and loafers, you can go out to a fancy dinner, and with casual shorts or jeans, you can run some errands around town.

Created in partnership with Highgrove Gardens (a.k.a. the private residence of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla), this Harrington jacket is quite literally fit for royalty. Side slip pockets and a printed silk lining blend fashion with function.

Made from a technical fabric, Dior's rendition of the Harrington results in a luxe, contemporary piece that has a performance edge to its design. CD Icon debossed embroidery on the chest makes for a branded emblem.

Every pick on this list has one thing in common: They're all transitional and versatile as hell. You can dress any of these jackets up with something as simple as a pleated trouser and a loafer, or dress them down with jeans and sneakers. From the top-ranging Harringtons to the most affordable ones, they all have a classic, timeless look that's hard to go wrong with.

Some things, like the design of the collar and what kind of front fastening the jacket has, are down to personal preference. A stickler for the rules would say a Harrington needs that stand-up storm collar, but modern fashion uses the term when a pointed collar is in play as well. Again, the classic choice is a water-resistant cotton/poly or nylon blend, but high-end suede might be more your vibe.
