Marks and Spencer's Faux Leather Harrington Jacket has become a hit with shoppers despite having just launched, earning a 4.9-star rating and selling out in several sizes.
The jacket, part of the retailer's AW26 collection, comes in a dark green-sage hue and is available online in sizes eight to 16, while sizes 18 to 24 and size six are out of stock. It is currently labelled as the website's number seven bestseller.
Design details and fit
The jacket features a faux-leather finish with a regular fit and a slim, vintage-inspired design. It leans into the funnel jacket trend, with a versatile collar that can be worn as a standard collar or a funnel neck thanks to a buttoned strap at the neckline, offering added protection from the elements. It also has a dual-ended zip, which can be worn with a blouse or jumper poking out at the bottom for added interest.
The earthy green hue is a standout detail, with mossy shades recently seen on catwalk runways. The matte finish makes it a statement piece without being too bold, and shoppers have been praising it in reviews.
Shopper reviews
One five-star review reads: "Absolutely love the jacket. The colour and fit are perfect. Definitely will have a good wear out of it." Another shopper said: "Beautiful colour jacket, true to size. I love it. Got a collection of faux leather jackets from M&S, all of which are quality."
One user raved about its suitability for the seasonal change, saying: "I love this jacket for autumn. It fits well and looks great on. The colour is lovely too." Another added: "Love both the colour and the simple style of this jacket. So glad I found it before it sold out. Hope to wear it again and again in the autumn."
A further reviewer noted: "Bought this jacket for Autumn mainly for the colour, which is a bit different. The faux leather is a pretty good quality."
One drawback and alternatives
The only drawback mentioned by one user was that the sleeves came up a bit too long for them. They deducted a star from their review, saying: "This jacket is so soft and lovely to wear. I would have scored a five, but the sleeves are a bit long for me." However, they concluded: "I can work with them. Great over a dress and with wide jeans."
