Tom Ford Harrington & Cardigan

The Bond Vivant · September 2009

I've just returned from a jaunt to Harrods to pick up some S.T. Dupont Diamond Head Cufflinks that I'd ordered, and thought that I'd pop over to Tom Ford to see if they had any Harringtons in stock. I'd read in an older post that they had been spotted, but only in brown. I knew that the blue ones used in QoS were not for public consumption, but I just wanted to try one on for fit and quality comparison, as I'm thinking of going down the Magnoli Route. Anyway, I tried on one in beige, and one in dark brown. Unfortunately the brown was way too big, and, at £1700 a pop, I'd talked myself out of buying the beige to dye at a later date (!). After a bit of flirting that JB himself would have been proud, I managed to grab a few photos for your perusal.

Here is some of the detailing for the perfectionisti:

And here, I tried on one of the Bond cardigans. Unfortunately, only now available in dark blue, and not black:

Thanks for the support, and hope you like the photos. Hope that you've clocked the 7 For All Mankind jeans, and Church's Ryder III's. I'm also sneaking in a Sunspel Shirt, and Omega Seamaster (oh how last Bond...) Cheers then...

Sorry guys. Still trying to crack how to add photos. How do I insert photos? I've tried the add image to post download, but no joy.

i think there already more then enough topics on both jackets worn in QOS, but good find nonetheless

I'm sure Mr Bond would be equally impressed with your PC skills as well

I too would like to see pics of an original TF Harrington jacket. I've only seen photos of the screen-used jacket, from production stills and the "Bond On Set" book. Meesta Bawnd, I would appreciate you posting any photos you can. I think those of us "across the pond" are at a big disadvantage in getting to see genuine articles by the Bond clothiers. Most of them are European designers (since the films are UK productions), and many items seem to be available in Europe only. So please, post away!!! After all, that's what we're here for!

Meesta, if you're having trouble adding images via this site, I would suggest using an image site like www.photobucket.com (creating an account is free and takes about 2 minutes), then uploading photos from your computer to your Photobucket account (just click on the "Upload images & videos" button on your account page and select the photo you want to upload from your computer), then copying and pasting the "IMG Code" that's listed under each photo into your post here. That's the easiest way. But make sure the photos you upload from your computer are not huge files (I don't know if this site has a size limit, but I think it's safe to say 480x600 is an acceptable image size - the Admin here can confirm that).

I look forward to seeing your photos!

Kind regards,
Craig

Good on ya for taking the time to get the pics in the shop and then post them up. Very interesting.

Blair,

Thanks for posting the pics!! Great detail shots of the Harrington! I never noticed the piping around the hand warmer pockets. Does anyone know if Tony put these details on his Magnoli replica?

Kind regards,
Craig

The screen used ones did not have any leather accents except the TF key fob on the zipper pull. There are some differences between the ones seen in the pictures and the ones that TF supplied to the production. Also the production used ones had mostly unfinished liners inside.

Thanks for the additional info and clarification, Mantis!

Kind regards,
Craig

I've just bought the black TF cardigan by APROPOS shop in Cologne (Germany). Simply fantastic.

^ Any chance of some photos of it?

Here are some.

I went up there and looked at that jacket and i must say its such a good jacket, i got a replica from magnoli which is good but the material is completly different the real one is much toughter and hard wearing and the collar has some leather inside it which makes it stay up really nice if you can afford £1700
