Not bad. The collar on the Haiti needs to be larger and pointed. Watch the movie again. It has a very unique look compared to standard jackets.

You're correct of course, I don't like that jacket anyway and would instantly sell the Y3 if I acquired it!

The CT is good too, not cheap however; at that price I'd be more inclined to pick up a genuine Baracuta.

+1 on what you said about getting the baracuta, but for me I love the y3. I would buy it off you if you acquired one!

I walked down the high street last weekend and Spring jackets are here so ben sherman and others had Harrington jackets.

What I liked about the bond one is that it didnt have elastic on the cuffs or waist

Yes I don't like harringtons that combine with 'bomber style' jackets, the M and S has only a little elastication at the sides.

What you need is a Baracuta G4.... No elastic.

I am not really sure why people buy 'other' harringtons when the original is made here in GB

Problem with most of them is that horrible tartan lining...

I was going to say that, though some are more restrained than others.

What's wrong with the tartan lining? It's one of the best ways to spot an authentic jacket rather than a rather poor imitation.

Anyway - you don't see it when you have the coat on!
