Harrington Jackets were first mad popular when Elvis Presley wore the Baracuta G9 (the same model as all the Harrington Jackets shown above) in his 1958 film 'King Creole'. However they became popular in the UK among skinheads and mods in the 60's, also in the late 70's and early 80's with the mod revival. 

In music, Irish band Two Door Cinema Club released a new song on BBC Radio 1 last night entitled 'Changing Of Seasons' was produced by French teenager Madeon and is part of a three song EP to be released on the 30th of September. Listen to the track below.
