Are Harrington Jackets Casual?

In the ever-shifting world of fashion, where trends come and go faster than you can button a jacket, there’s one piece that has effortlessly stood the test of time—the Harrington jacket. But here’s the big question: Is it casual? The answer is a resounding yes—but it’s more than just that.

Let’s take a closer look at why Harrington jackets are the ultimate smart-casual essential—and how CraftClothing puts a proudly Filipino spin on this timeless classic.

A Brief History, A Lasting Impact

Originally known as the Baracuta jacket (a name you might hear tossed around among jacket enthusiasts), the Harrington jacket was designed in England as a lightweight, water-repellent outerwear option. Over the decades, it’s been worn by everyone from 1950s rebels to 2000s streetwear icons. Its design—a short cut, front zip, stand-up collar, and slanted pockets—makes it a natural choice for those who want something casual yet polished.

This versatility is exactly what makes the Harrington jacket a staple in both laid-back weekends and semi-formal settings.

Why the Harrington Jacket Screams Casual Cool

1. Built for Movement
The Harrington jacket’s lightweight material and comfortable fit make it ideal for daily use. It’s the type of jacket you throw on for errands, a quick coffee run, or casual Fridays at work.

2. Easy to Style
Whether paired with jeans and sneakers or chinos and loafers, Harrington jackets blend seamlessly with different styles. They’re casual enough to wear over a t-shirt but sharp enough to layer over a button-down.

3. Low Maintenance, High Impact
They’re practical—easy to wash, easy to fold, and easy to match. No fussy ironing, no complicated styling. Just zip and go.
