Wool Harrington Jacket, Dunhill

Since the Harrington Jacket was worn by James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause and donned by Steve McQueen atop a motorbike on the cover of Life magazine in 1963, it has become a versatile staple for any man’s wardrobe. And, considering Dunhill’s motoring heritage, it’s no surprise the brand has adopted the style in its collections. The Wool Harrington Jacket conveys the nonchalant look of early designs, and the heavy gauge wool ensures it’s comfortable and practical, making it the perfect travel jacket and your new transitional go-to.
