Hi all,
Looking at picking up a jacket. It’s between their Bayport and Twill Mockneck.
Anyone with any experience of them? Worried the Bayport will be too lightweight being unlined but prefer the ‘traditional’ collar.
Cheers

Mockneck for me. I have the quilted Barracuda with the same collar and much prefer it with a t shirt or a shirtQuote:

Barracuda not on the website, perhaps the mockneck has replaced it?Quote:

Gant do traditional Harrington styles. Farah? Hackett? A quick google search pulls up thousands.
I like the little man riding the horse.Quote:

It seems that they are one in the same, sold in some places as the Barracuda range and some as the Mock NeckQuote:

I didn’t realise RL called their Harringtons Barracuda.

Aquascutum always used to make fantastic Harrington’s but their recent stuff is absolutely gash from a quality perspective.
Bet you’d get a vintage one for peanuts on eBay.
You could have a look at the version from Community Clothing

Full disclosure: I don't own one but I've got the raincoat and the peacoat and I am happy with both.

Carhartt Modular jacket

Carhartt really lost their way when they became Carhartt WIP in the UK/Europe. The quality is awful now.
I still buy their jeans as they're cheap and I haven't found a new brand/cut I like yet but I'd rather buy the Ralph or even just spend big money on Sunspel instead. I'd probably choose Blue Harbour over Carhartt for that jacket.
Why bother with the pretenders?
Jus get yourself the real Harrington a baracuta g9.
You won’t regret it, and support a UK fashion brand.
