A Harrington jacket is a type of short, lightweight jacket, made of cotton, polyester, wool or suede — usually with a tartan or check-patterned lining.
The first Harrington-style jackets were made by British clothing company Baracuta in the 1930s. As of 2008, the company still makes the same model, the G9. Elvis Presley popularized the Baracuta G9 when he wore it in his 1958 movie King Creole. This style of jacket earned the nickname Harrington because it was worn by the character Rodney Harrington (played by Ryan O'Neal) in the 1960s television program Peyton Place; John Simmons, who opened 'The Ivy Shop', Richmond, London, claims to have coined this description.
They have became popular in the 60's onwards with mods and skinheads.

Get the Having game mug.Possibly one of the worst high schools on earth, not because of the teachers, but because of the students. You can ask any HHS student with an IQ of over 50, and they'll tell you that about 70% of the school's students are dumbass ghetto kids who are just there until they can drop out.
Despite this unfortunate fact, there are some pretty cool people there. You can tell who they are by the fact that they aren't trying to be part of some retarded group (Ghetto kids, scene faggots, fitted-cap-wearing dumbasses who watch Jersey Shore, etc.)
