Best Dressed $4,300 w/tax TOM FORD Navy Leather Accents Harrington Jacket, Patrick Dempsey and Jason Statham Have These – James Bond / Quantum, Steve McQueen Aesthetic, 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 (see reference photos). In his new book Tom mentions he often took these pieces and continued to refine and perfect them over the years. This is the perfect example of this adding the updated TF embossed leather zipper pull, sturdier double zips, and black leather TF logo silhouette on the back of the neck. It took the Bond piece to a new elevated level and fit while retaining the same look and feel.
This same style is owned by Patrick Dempsey and Jason Statham. Tom Brady owns multiple versions of this as well (see reference photos). TOM FORD sold the company years ago moving back into film, so these originals will only become more desirable and valuable!
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 after 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.
Selling this for a friend. I have a similar one 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 stunning horn buttons
– the gleaming Tom Ford double zips with the leather TF pull
– the luxe half lining to help it slip on and off with ease
– the intricate banded stitching inset inside the collar…
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
