Spring and autumn are awkward — a coat is too much, a shirt is not enough. Lightweight faux suede lands exactly in between: warm enough for the walk, cool enough to keep on indoors. Light brown lifts navy, grey and denim, so one jacket covers the commute and the weekend without looking like work.

So I've never really owned a proper jacket like this, it was always hoodies and one puffer for snow, and my roommate kept nudging me to get something that looked like I had a job, so I finally ordered the light brown one and it's been kind of a game changer, I wear it to the coffee place on the corner where the barista now calls me the jacket guy, and to my nephew's soccer games where it got muddy on the sleeve and brushed off fine once dry, and the shirt collar makes even a plain tee look intentional, and honestly the whole thing weighs so little I forget it's on until I reach for my phone
The shade came through a touch more yellow than my monitor showed, which threw me for a minute. That's the whole complaint. This is my second piece from Decrum after a darker bomber last winter. Where the bomber feels chunky and wintry, this is its springtime counterpart: slimmer lines, a neat shirt collar, cuffs that button. Easy to pair with almost any trousers.
Practical rundown after daily use. Lower right pocket: keys and fob. Left: phone. Another pocket holds my Oyster card so I can tap through barriers without digging. Weather so far has been the usual mix, drizzle on the walk to the station, sunshine by lunch, a cold snap one evening when I'd misjudged things and put a hoodie underneath, which works with the waist snap left open. On the Tube it doesn't get sweaty the way my parka did. Weekends it's gone to the allotment (the courgettes have finally given up, thank goodness, I'd run out of ways to cook them) and the pub quiz. After a muddy dog brushed against it, a dry brush sorted the mark. Travelled to Edinburgh with it folded in a backpack; came out with no creases worth worrying about.
Wore it today. Again. Third time this week. Light brown goes with everything I own, which is mostly denim and grey tees. Shirt collar stays flat. Five pockets, and I use four. Keys, wallet, phone, earbuds. Weighs next to nothing. Brushes clean. No break-in needed. Done thinking about outerwear for fall.
An Instagram ad put this in front of me, and I assumed the reality would be flimsier than the photos. It isn't. Starting at the top, the shirt collar has enough body to sit up slightly without flopping, which keeps it looking sharp over a crew neck. Down the front, the zip runs smoothly and the pull is chunky enough to grab with cold fingers. The cuffs close with buttons, so you can open them and push the sleeves up on mild afternoons. Lastly, the waist snaps, a small detail that lets you choose between a fitted or looser shape. Very tidy microsuede overall.
Five weeks in and this has been on my back most weekdays. What's held up: the zip still runs clean, the cuff buttons are tight on their threads, and the color hasn't faded even after a few sunny afternoons on the patio at work. The snap adjuster still clicks firmly. My commute is two trains and a bus now since they shut the express line for repairs, so it's been well tested on crowded platforms. One tweak I'd make: a slightly longer zip pull for gloves. Small thing.
Previously, spring meant a canvas chore coat, stiff and boxy and always wrinkled at the elbows. This microsuede Harrington is the opposite: supple, light, and it holds a clean line all day. The shirt collar looks sharper than the old one's corduroy trim, and buttoned cuffs beat open sleeves when it's windy. Easy swap.
Was a light colour going to be a nightmare to keep clean? That was the question in my head before ordering. Six weeks on, mostly not. It's been splashed by a bus, rubbed against a car door, and spotted with rain, and a soft brush has handled each one. Faint marks do show if you brush the nap the wrong way, which is why it's four and not five, but they vanish when you smooth it back. The shirt collar and buttoned cuffs give it a smarter look than my anorak ever had.
box turned up a bit squashed at one corner, had me panicking, but inside all good, folded up neat in tissue paper. first touch, proper soft, like a peach. colour is a lovely biscuity brown, bit lighter than id pictured. gave it to my fiancé that same night and off he went down the pub, came home saying his mate wants one too. our cat sheds on everything so yes theres lint, a roller sorts it in seconds. 5 from me, hes chuffed
Tip for anyone ordering: hang it up for a couple of days when it lands. Mine had a faint new smell out of the bag and the collar was slightly creased from packing, both sorted by the weekend. After that, flawless. Wear it with white trainers and dark jeans and you're done. Still five from me, the small stuff didn't matter.
Simple jacket. Good color. Light brown, not orange. Snaps at the waist. Buttons at the wrist. Zip that works. Pockets for days, five of them. I wear it to the shop, to the game, to my in-laws. Nobody's said a bad word. Wife approved, which is the real test. Easy wipe-down after a spilled coffee.
I'd been after a Harrington for ages after my last cotton one shrank in the wash and never recovered. Fancied something with a bit more texture this time, so faux suede in light brown made sense. Ordered on a Tuesday evening; the courier dropped it off Monday morning, well packed. Details are spot on: buttoned cuffs that close snugly, a shirt collar that sits flat against the neck, and a snap adjuster at the waist. Verdict: smart enough for the office, relaxed enough for the pub, and no faff to look after.
Hey, where'd you get that? Apparently three different people asked my brother this at his work happy hour, which he texted me about the next morning, very pleased with himself. I chose it for his thirtieth because he's been wearing the same ratty fleece since high school. My own impression when it arrived: the sandy color is gorgeous, the microsuede feels soft without being fuzzy, and the stitching around the shirt collar is neat. He says it's comfortable enough to drive in and keeps the evening chill off.
Best gift I've given my dad in years. He's seventy-one, hates anything heavy on his shoulders, and lives in khakis; this light brown Harrington slots right into that wardrobe. It's light, the zip glides, and he likes that the cuffs button so they don't flap when he's out on the golf course. He also figured out the waist snaps within ten minutes and now demonstrates them to anyone nearby. He's worn it to church, to the diner on Saturdays, and on his evening walk around the lake.
before this i had a nylon bomber from college, shiny, crinkly, made a noise every time i moved my arms. wore it like 6 years. this is my first jacket like this and the difference is kinda wild, the microsuede is quiet and soft and actually looks grown up. the old one had two pockets and a busted elastic hem, this has FIVE pockets and a snap tab at the waist so i can pull it in a bit. collar is a proper shirt collar not that floppy ribbed thing. only reason its 4 not 5, theres a faint smell when you open the bag, like new carpet, gone after maybe three days hanging by the window. my girlfriend says i look like i finally own an iron lol. wearing it to her sisters engagement thing next week, their whole family is gonna see it
Would a faux suede Harrington look cheap up close? That was my worry, having seen a few shiny versions in high street shops. Answer: no. The nap is fine and matte, the stitching along the collar is straight, and the zip has a reassuring weight. I've had it on for two weeks of grim Manchester weather (it's rained every single day, my neighbour's bins blew into our drive twice) and a damp cloth plus a brush brings it right back. Snap tab at the waist is handy over thicker knits. Doubt answered, basically.
Ten years I've gone to the same barber, a man with opinions about everyone's clothes, and last week he looked up from the clippers and said this was the best thing I'd walked in wearing all year. High praise from a guy who once told me my sneakers looked like orthopedic slippers. Personally I bought it because I needed one grab-and-go layer for the office and weekends without thinking too hard. The tan shade does that job. It's light enough for September mornings in Chicago, and when the wind off the lake picks up I just close the zip to the collar and it blocks most of it. Button cuffs stay put when I'm typing. Five pockets, which matters since I refuse to carry a bag. Traffic on the Kennedy was terrible the day it arrived, so I tried it on in the hallway at nine at night without even taking my shoes off. Been on rotation daily since.
Good jacket, four from me. It's light, it layers, and the five pockets mean I stop losing my keys. Wore it walking the dog most mornings this month (she's a beagle, she stops at every mailbox, so we're out there a while) and it handles the breeze fine. One reservation: the zip took some force the first week. Otherwise a go-to for errands and Friday nights.
Old windbreaker finally tore at the pocket, so I wanted something lighter than a parka but nicer for client lunches. Ordered on a Sunday; it showed up the following week, a couple days later than the estimate said. The microsuede has a soft, even nap and the collar lies neat over a button-down. Solid buy, minus one for the wait.
Opened the box at my kitchen table before wrapping it, and the first thing I noticed was how light it felt lifting it out of the tissue. The color is a warm sandy brown, softer than I pictured, and the nap shifts a little darker when you run a hand against it. Ryan unwrapped it on his birthday, put it on over his gray henley and wore it straight out to dinner at a little Italian place downtown. Our server asked where it came from. He kept fiddling with the snap at the waist all evening, which I'm taking as approval.
Bought this for my son heading off to college in Oregon and honestly he has barely taken it off since, he sends me photos from campus and there it is every time, over hoodies, over a flannel, at a football game, and the color reads more like caramel in person than the slightly grayer tone in the listing which is the only reason I'm holding back one star, though he says he prefers the real shade so maybe that's on me
Saturday train down to Brighton, and this came with me instead of my usual mac. I grabbed it from the men's range on purpose because I like a straighter cut. The carriage was freezing, then the seafront was weirdly warm, then it drizzled while we queued for chips (the seagulls were vicious, one nicked a whole sausage off a toddler). Through all of that the faux suede just shrugged it off; a quick shake and the droplets were gone. Phone in one pocket, cardholder in another, nothing bulging. Back home at nine, didn't feel crumpled at all.
Light brown is a harder shade to get right than black and this one landed well, warm without looking tan or orange. The snap tab at the waist lets me tighten it so it doesn't balloon out. Zip runs smooth and the button cuffs sit flat. I've worn it over a shirt to the office and over a tee at weekends.
This is the jacket I keep by the door now. Lightweight enough to grab for a quick errand, smart enough that I don't feel underdressed if plans change. Five pockets means I can leave the bag behind. The material is soft with a slight texture and it has not marked at all.
only gripe is the zip, it was kinda stiff the first few days and my husband grumbled about it every morning lol. its fine now tho, loosened right up. otherwise he LOVES this thing, wears it to the hardware store, to his buddy's bbq, pretty much everywhere. the tan color is warmer than i expected and the button cuffs make him look put together. got it for our anniversary, good call on my part
Bought for my husband and he says it's the most comfortable jacket he owns. He's worn it every day for two weeks, including to a wedding reception in the evening, so it must be versatile. The colour is lovely in daylight. Delivery was fast and it came neatly folded.
Good jacket with a clean shape and a nice soft finish. Four stars because the waist tabs are a little fiddly to adjust one handed. Once they're set I leave them alone so it's a minor thing. Sits well over a jumper without pulling across the back.
Quick tip if you're torn between colours: go for the light brown. I nearly picked something darker and I'm glad I didn't, because this shade sits nicely with navy chinos, grey marl, even black jeans, and it brightens up a dull office week. Second tip, use the snap tab at the waist. Pulled in, it gives a neater line over a shirt; left open, it hangs relaxed for weekends. A soft clothes brush keeps the nap tidy in about ten seconds. Ordered on a Monday, wearing it to work by Friday. No complaints.
Third order from this lot and the quality has been consistent every time. The collar on this one sits flat whether the zip is up or down, which I always check. Light brown works with navy and grey which is most of what I own. No issues at all.
Was after something lighter than my winter coat for the shoulder season and this is exactly it. Feels well put together, the stitching is even and the lining is smooth going on. It layers under a coat in colder weather too. Genuinely useful jacket for the money.
