Hope you can afford one E!

I have SBW to thank for showing me everything at IF. The first time that I spent serious time checking out the Harnden work.

Fixed.

I've been told that the colour/description of this jacket is TWEED.
Can someone more familiar with PH describe this colour?
Does the image reflect its true colour?

I don't know if I just have Harnden fever or what, but Harveys has the long blazer in this amazing gray tweed, and I think I want it! Fuck this is so bad. I can't get it out of my mind!

Mike - i have this in the classic cut......it is truely amazing.....you do know that if you don't buy it, you will just spend the next year trying to hunt it down....

[eton97]

and yes, there is such a thing as 'harnden fever'.....usually a couple of purchases calms the very aggressive symptoms down

[MikeN]

you do know that if you don't buy it, you will just spend the next year trying to hunt it down....

I believe that is referred to as "Faust Syndrome"

/\ bingo! and as the primary carrier, i can assure you that it is incurable.

Eton is right mike, you know for sure that you are so much into this piece that you will have sleepless nights after you left Germany...it looked amazing on you, don't be a fool, cop tomorrow!

[MikeN]

God damn you all.

D, mine's tagged as a Mens Blazer, which i assumed is the Classic Blazer(?).
I remembered the differences between the Mens Blazer (Classic?) and the Mens New Blazer were that the New Blazer is longer and has notched lapels as opposed to peaked ones on the Mens Blazer.

Y - sorry if I jumped the gun and got the descrip of your blazxer wrong - thought it looked liked the long from the proportions - my mistake.....

Just to clear up all the confusion on the different PH jackets...
Here is what i think, correct me if I am wrong:

4 styles of blazer:

Pocket / Classic Standard / Classic Long / New Style

Pocket Blazer:
- Short length blazer (maybe a touch shorter than a standard classic)
- no vent at back (edit: just found i have a pocket blazer with a double vent......but its the pockets that make it the pocket blazer...
- 3 or 5 button
- Pockets hang out from under the hem of the jacket
- very slightly boxey fit vs the classic
- The lining is a more refined fit to the shell of the jacket, and therefore doesn't feel as 'thick' and crumpled internally as the classic

Classic:
- 2 lengths - standard & long- double vented back.
- standard length has 2 internal pockets...3 or 5 button
- long version has 4 internal pockets....6 button
- outer pockets do not hang down past hem - they are integrated into the lining
- lining is usually a touch larger than the shell creating a slightly padded/crumpled look
- quite a fitted jacket certainly in the torso

New Style:
- Standard Notched lapels
- centre back vent
- slightly longer fit than the classic or pocket (like an off the peg suit blazer length)
- Slightly bigger in the body

Hope this helps......

/\ Thanks for this classification. Probably should put it in the first post of this thread, since Harnden seems to be the new XXX.

Lowrey, the long blazer is the one I tried on on that fatal day in Paris.
