The red Harrington style jacket worn by James Dean in Rebel Without A Cause has to be one of the most iconic pieces of movie clothing ever worn, ranking alongside Brando's Perfecto in The Wild One, Bogey's trenchcoat in Casablanca and Bruce Lee's yellow catsuit in Game of Death. Walking past Albam's store front in Soho today, I noticed they've now starting selling a new range of Harringtons in different colours, including one in a Rebel red.
I haven't the guts to wear the red one personally, as I feel you'd have to look every bit as good as the Deanster to carry it off, but I must admit that I do still love the look of it.
