Coveted Rare $6,300 w/tax TOM FORD Green Suede Harrington Jacket, Incredible Details – Made In Italy
Like many Daniel Craig / James Bond fans, I immediately fell in love with the Tom Ford Harrington jacket he wore in Quantum. In his new book Tom mentions he often takes these pieces and continues to refine and perfect them over the years. This is the perfect example in green suede with intricate stitch details and accents throughout – it’s such an iconic, timeless piece that harkens back to my other favorite style icons Steve McQueen and Paul Newman who used to wear these often. They still look and function as incredible today all all these decades later and will look just as good decades into the future. It’s a “can’t miss” look that goes with anything and elevates it into elite territory in the hands of the master Tom Ford. I love the way Tom styled this with the thin layer hoodie in the main image.
Of course TOM FORD sold the company awhile back, so these originals will only become more desirable and valuable! Selling this for a friend, but I have this as well and it’s epic! It stands out in the best way without shouting.
The details throughout on this are incredible:
– The signature leather Tom Ford logo silhouette on the back of the neck
– the press stud snap pockets
– the horn buttons
– the gleaming Tom Ford double zips with the leather TF pull
– the intricate stitching and band details for a fitted silhouette…
GQ said it best: “And if money is truly no object, Tom Ford makes holy-grail-level jackets so beautiful they bring a tear to the eye. That’s just what the best jackets for men do. They make you stand a little taller, speak with a little more conviction, and seem altogether more alluring. They are like the pill Bradley Cooper takes in the movie Limitless, only they unlock genuine cool instead of psychotic ambition. Of course, confidence of that magnitude doesn’t come cheap. These jackets will keep you feeling like your very best self for years and years to come.”
Mr Tom Ford’s design philosophy is simple: don’t settle for anything less than perfection. And that maxim applies as much to a plain cotton T-shirt as it does a wool barathea tuxedo with all the trimmings. Achieving perfection, of course, is harder than it looks.
“Menswear is a detail-driven business” —Tom Ford
