    +1 on the harrington jacket, bought it a while ago for 160, wearing it often especially when it's cold. Still in good quality. For that price i would surely buy it again.

    Edit: Bought the navy one

    FREE SHIPPING ASWELL :D!

    Exchange only possible if you go instore, otherwise they only offer refund. I suggest buying 2 sizes and returning the one you dont want

    Colour Recommendations from my experience

    Navy - Most versatile. The one I wear the most. Can dress it up or own.
    Sand - The Steve McQueen classic. My second most worn and gives a contemporary vintage look. Closest to the Baracuta Tan/Natural colour that Steve preferred.
    Dark Forest - Versatile for Autumn, Winter, Spring. Good alternative to the MA1 Bomber & Field jackets.
    Black - Almost never wear it, but I should have figured since I never wear black :(

    • beeawwb on 09/06/2017 - 10:10

      +1 for the Navy, it's fantastically versatile.

  • RyanMK on 09/06/2017 - 10:20

    How do they fit? I'm 183cm, 80kg. Slightly muscular with broad shoulders. Large for me? It's a pity that they don't tell us the model's measurements + size he's wearing!

    • Zabuza on 09/06/2017 - 10:21
      +1

      Get a piece of tape or string, measure your chest with the string, use a ruler, then it's usually 2 inches more than your chest is the size you should get

    • zhenjie on 09/06/2017 - 10:22
      +1

      I would say a Large for you, possibly Medium for an athletic fit. They are great for broad shoulders since they have Raglan sleeves. Check out Armie Hammer who rocked one in The man from Uncle:
      http://www.jamesbondlifestyle.com/sites/default/files/ckedit…

      Myer and David Jones will usually have these in store to check out.

    • RyanMK on 09/06/2017 - 10:24

      According to their size guide, based on my chest measurements, I' a M. But based on the shoulders measurements, I'm a L. So, I guess Large? Haha

      • Zabuza on 09/06/2017 - 10:26

        If i were you i would go into a store and try on before you buy! just to make sure haha

        • RyanMK on 09/06/2017 - 10:28

          There isn't a Ben Sherman Store in poor old Adelaide unfortunately! They have a 60 day free return policy, so I guess I could just order both sizes if I wanted to and return the one that doesn't fit well.

        • Zabuza on 09/06/2017 - 10:30

          @RyanMK: They dont offer an exchange policy just a refund. Their exchange policy you would need to go in store, since there are no stores xD i wish you luck on the correct size haha

          @RyanMK: Check the David Jones, they usually have Ben Sherman in store. According to the DJ website they're carried at Adelaide Central, Marion, and West Lakes.

          https://www.davidjones.com.au/brands-by-store/Men/ben-sherma…

          Edit: I think Myer stock Ben Sherman as well, but they don't appear to have a store by store listing.

    • RyanMK on 17/06/2017 - 16:18

      Received mine on Friday. I ended up buying a M and L to make sure I get the right size. Both actually fit, with M giving a more athletic fit, as zhenjie suggested. I ended up deciding to go with the L as the M is a bit tight when I choose to zip up the jacket.

      Very happy with my purchase!

  • zhenjie on 09/06/2017 - 10:21

    Sizing, imo, is 'True to Size'. The Ben Sherman Harrington is considered slim for Harrignton standards. Since a Harrington/Blouson is naturally baggy, consider this jacket 'regular' by modern Australian standards. They are extremely forgiving to any body shape thanks to the elasticated waist and cuffs. These are functional jackets for day to day.

    FYI I wear a size Small Ben Sherman Harrington
    -Asos Harrington - Size Small (absolutely junk, terrible build quality and dodgy waxed cotton)
    -Baracuta G9 Modern Classic - Size 36 and the arms are still billowy

    • get-innocuous on 09/06/2017 - 10:29

      I'm 6'4" / 72kg & slim. Small or medium you reckon? I generally prefer a slimmer fit but it is a jacket after all.

      • zhenjie on 09/06/2017 - 10:31
        +1

        At 72kg I'd recommend a small, but length may be your issue if your torso is very long. But the good thing about this jacket is that it looks good if it actually ends at your waist. Order both sizes and return for free.

      • ESEMCE on 09/06/2017 - 11:08

        I'm 6"/77Kg.
        I don't own a Ben Sherman Harrington, but I do own a Ben Sherman jacket of similar design (only major difference is loose cuffs) and it's a Large.
        As such, I've ordered a Large Harrington.

    Bought a pair of formal shoes earlier this year from THIS deal and added a sole protector.

  • eswes on 09/06/2017 - 10:40

    Nice deal OP! As you seem to be familiar with Harringtons from different companies, what do you think of the quality of the Ben Sherman ones?

    • zhenjie on 09/06/2017 - 11:05
      +5

      I've tried cheaper alternatives, like the Asos and Aliexpress/ebay ones. The outer material were poor cotton/poly blend that was rigid and had terrible drape/wrinkles. The inside tartan lining was also cheap, with no soft flannel feel of the higher end brands.

      Fred Perry has the best silhouette and very good construction/materials. I sold it as I didn't like the visible branding.

      The Original Baracuta G9 has the best tartan lining, materials and construction. Blousey, even their new cut.

      Ben Sherman easily the best value for money. Only just retired my Navy one after 2 years of constant wear and abuse. Now it's my workshop jacket.

      edit: Got my dad a Ralph Lauren Wind Breaker Harrington. That's his favourite jacket and has been worn daily for almost 2 years with little signs of wear. Has a nice waxed cotton feel. Ralph Lauren would be my recommendation for older & larger folk.

      • eswes on 09/06/2017 - 11:07

        Wow! You do know your Harringtons! Appreciate the advice! Will order two sizes and return the one that doesn't fit.

    • zhenjie on 09/06/2017 - 11:15
      +2

      It depends how you style it imo. Rock it with some nice selvedge denim and it becomes classic masculine. Wear it with nice grey wool trousers and its smart casual/relaxed dress. Very versatile.

      Wear it with bell bottom, flannel wide leg pants and you got the 70's Japanese golfer look :), aka the Swing jacket look.

        Went at lunch - hated them all aside from Sand (which was the one colour I knew I didn't want)

    How warm is this? Just a light jacket?

    • fookos on 09/06/2017 - 12:17

      It's a light jacket but feels very well made and solid cotton close weave fabric.

      I've ordered one (so can't type from experience) but I reckon it would serve well as a wind break and do a reasonable job in cooler weather. But it's not a winter coat with layers of duck down!

    • zhenjie on 09/06/2017 - 12:22

      It's a light jacket that's lined. Wearing one now in Melbournes chilly winter with a t-shirt and cashmere jumper.

      There is a quilted Harrington, but be warned, size down. It's very baggy, especially the arms.

  • mlburnian on 09/06/2017 - 12:00

    I don't know, 80 bucks for a harrington-jacket seems a bit high, 60 would be a bargain. I have bought Ben Sherman jeans for 35 on their website before, so they do have good discounts sometimes.
    For that price you could score a wool blend pea coat if you look hard enough

    • zhenjie on 09/06/2017 - 12:59

      $80 is a bargain for a quality Harrington. Try any that retails under $100 and you can tell the difference.

      $80 for wool-blend pea coat is going to use the cheapest Chinese itchy wool imaginable. Even the Uniqlo wool coats pill and itch like crazy (comparative to higher end brands.

  • fookos on 09/06/2017 - 12:05

    Thanks OP. Grabbed a Harrington and a shirt - nice price. Would have cost almost exactly double at DJs today.

  • neu11 on 09/06/2017 - 12:21

    grabbed one. but how warm are they for autumn/winter weather? i.e can it weather the cold outdoors without stacking layers underneath?

    • zhenjie on 09/06/2017 - 12:23

      Winter you'd want to layer up, which this jacket is easy to do. Light Cashmere/Wool/Down should suffice

  • Theycott on 09/06/2017 - 12:26

    Code works on the red variation, bringing the total down to $59.25! Thanks heaps OP! Been wanting to pick up a red Harrington for ages.

    Does free returns mean they also pay for shipping? or do i need to pay for shipping myself ?

  • Jkothuru on 09/06/2017 - 12:49

    Last time I have purchased a shirt from then… its loosing colour… not worth from that brand…

    • zhenjie on 09/06/2017 - 13:06

      Their Harringtons are considered part of their classic range, and I found them to be much higher quality than their seasonal/trendy stuff (which I never buy). No colour loss on any of my jackets apart from areas where I've actually rubbed/worn while working.

  • flyingmouse on 09/06/2017 - 12:51

    Just tried them in store for fitting.

    I'm 167cm (5'6) 60kg and the XS is nice and snug. As I prefer tight fitting, I'll be getting the XS. Didn't bother trying on a S.

    Quality wise, they seem to be constructed quite decently. Noticed the stitching had loose threads on the buttons, but can live with that. The zipper glides nicely but does have a bit of coarseness to it - so would probably take it off or zip up in the car with a seat belt. Overall, should be a decent buy.

    • Rode on 09/06/2017 - 14:11

      Hey mate what's your build like?

      I'm 170cm tall but my chest measurements were in line with a Medium so I ordered that…

      Are you fairly slim? Hope it isn't too big on me.

      Thanks!

      • Munki on 09/06/2017 - 14:17

        Yep, quite thin. I wear size 28 pants if that helps.

        These jackets do have a bit of elasticity in them, so do keep that in mind. I accidentally tried on a Medium (thought I grabbed the XS) and found it was quite a bit longer on the torso area (noticeable to me), arms were also a bit longer, but the chest wasn't that bad. If you're a bit bulkier, a Medium will probably be fine for you. I just like my jackets to be quite fitted.

  • tlai on 09/06/2017 - 15:53

    Took a look in store. Looks okay (a bit old fashioned / slightly formal) but I wouldn't pay RRP for this. At $80 it seems like a okay buy… but not cheap. If it was $60 for navy…

    Edit: the quilted one looks better imo but no more sizes.

    • Munki on 09/06/2017 - 16:30

      The regular Harringtons are much more classical, and as such, will be timeless. The quilted variant looks tacky and will fade in terms of style.

      • zhenjie on 09/06/2017 - 16:39

        I agree with you there. I really wanted to like the quilted Harrington but the fit was off, too glossy exterior, it wouldn't be a timeless investment like a cotton Harrington.

        The MA1 jacket is good winter jacket for those looking for warmth. Very similar fit to the Harrington: https://bensherman.com.au/product/ma1-bomber-jacket#MF13047D…

  • Jaystea on 12/06/2017 - 15:31

    Not to discount your opinion zhenjie, but I don't think this is a quality Harrington at all. But then again, I haven't worn the asos ones. I have a Ralph Lauren one at home that I bought 2 years ago on sale for 120, which I understand is a lot dearer. But the material felt very premium. Cotton was soft and not plastic like, the lining was the same, soft and luxurious. Felt like I was putting on a suit.

    Don't get me wrong, for $81.75 I don't think it's that much of a deal, but I did get one with Amex after David Jones price match, for $66.75. Under 50 and I think it's an absolute steal imho. This is going to be more of a more casual, non-premium Harrington over my other one :)
