Junya Watanabe Harrington jackets

Juan

It's not easy doing something different and interesting with the classic Harrington jacket, but we think these Junya Watanabe vs Baracuta Harrington jackets hit the mark.

For the uninitiated, Junya Watanabe is a Japanese fashion designer working under the Comme des Garçons label, But for high fashion (which these are), the jackets are actually very wearable. Most of the original Baracuta detailing is intact (there's even a label for both labels inside), with the double-button collar, buttoned cuffs and hand warmer pockets, but there's also a double zip, squared off bottom, patterned lining and of course, those bold fabric designs. Purists will also appreciate the lack of a label on the outside too.

High fashion doesn't come cheap and these are no exception, with prices starting at around £360.
