Re: HARRINGTON JACKET
got one thats about 5 or 6 years old still in good nic,exept the large scar up the left side where it got caught on a gate ,(also got an 8 year old fleece which i still wear) the great thing about the harriningtons is they fold up quite small to fit in your bag on hot days

Re: HARRINGTON JACKET
Best jacket ever.
Mine is just about 8 years old still in good nic, and has not faded like all the new uniform I could mention.
Orange tinted trouser after one wash.

Re: HARRINGTON JACKET
I wear the fleece in the winter,and one of 2 harringtons in the summer.
Is it right the harringtons are no longer available?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Re: HARRINGTON JACKET
I think they were axed sometime between 2001 and 2003. The only option now is the (s**t quality) fleece.POSTMAN wrote:I wear the fleece in the winter,and one of 2 harringtons in the summer.

Re: HARRINGTON JACKET
Best jacket ever, I have a couple that I alternate. The fleece vests that zip into the Harringtons are pretty good too

Re: HARRINGTON JACKET
One of the old boys in my office is taking VR in the next few weeks, had my eye on his harrington for a while now. Looks like a very smart piece of kit.
Can anyone tell me what is the point in the fleece? Too hot to wear in spring/summer, wind blows straight through it in the winter, not waterproof at all, too big to take off and put in your pouch. Absolutely useless.

Re: HARRINGTON JACKET
I was looking for a reasonable couple of bags the other week (as mine had stayed in my van whilst gone for service) in the big pile of used stuff in our drying room. I found a large fleece still in its bag
It has a red inner lining to it and is a much thicker quaility than the ones ive had in recent years. I am cuffed with it. 
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Re: HARRINGTON JACKET
I started wearing my Harrington this week now the weather has warmed up a bit. The best for winter was the thermal coat with the removable sleeves, still got mine somewhere, slightly faded and a bit snug
another good piece of kit they got rid of 
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
