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 Hardening of the sharteries mug.When a coastie male is in the physical act of sexual intercourse, more specifically performing his perfected Chilli Dog or Swedish Periscope maneuver and due to the constant extreme levels of alcohol within his system, just prior to climaxing and spraying his intoxicated maiden or sailor down with his gentleman’s sausage sauce, an uncontrolled golden shower of urine is excreted onto the unsuspecting mates chest.
Coastie Joey had been on a vacation to Cuba and much like most drill weekends, he found himself piss drunk and on a three day drunken bender looking for a young beautiful willing “girl” on island B to cozy up to. They would have a few laughs, perhaps a dance, gallons and gallons of alcohol (any kind will do) and when the moment was just right and the two were sharing the most intimate Chilli Dog sexual act, he rained down with an alcohol, semen and urine filled Golden Harrington onto the chest of his love of the night.
