Men's Black Washed Leather Harrington Jacket

I wanted black without the mirror shine that most leather jackets have when they are new, and the washed finish delivers exactly that. Up close there is grey coming through the texture and the whole surface is uneven, which gives it depth instead of looking like a plastic panel. Four months of wear and it has softened across the shoulders while the finish has not changed at all.

I ordered a medium first because I assumed the cut would be generous and it pulled across the back the moment I reached forward. Swapped for the large and that was right. The exchange took eight days including both legs of shipping and there was no argument at all, but measure across the back rather than trusting the chest number the way I did.

One zip pocket on the chest and two set vertically at the hips. All three of them are lined and they all close properly. That is the whole front of the jacket, no flaps and nothing decorative, which suits how I actually use pockets.

Third order from this site and the first with a distressed finish. Same accurate chart, same quick dispatch. This is the one I reach for on weekends because I do not have to worry about scuffing it, which is oddly freeing.

This replaced a black jacket my husband had worn for about nine years, which had gone shiny at the elbows and cracked at the cuffs. The difference is that this one starts off looking used, so there is nothing for wear to spoil. Four months in, the only new mark is a scuff by one pocket that disappeared into the texture within a week.

Bought it for my husband who wanted black but not shiny black. This solved that problem in one go. He has worn it every single day for about three weeks now.

Measurements since that is the first thing I go hunting for. I am 6 foot, 180 pounds, 42 chest, and the large fits over a shirt with room for a thin knit. Sleeves end at my wrist bone. The hem band sits at the top of my hip. It arrived in four days in a bag inside a box with tissue in the sleeves and no creasing to speak of.

The washed finish reads more charcoal than jet black, with grey coming through the creases. Far more interesting to look at than a flat black jacket. Fits me straight through the body at a large.
