Sundazed (West Germany) 70s Vintage, Nino, Plain Weave, Harrington SUNDAZED & OUTSIDE SOCIETY S.O.S. | sundazed.io/sos The taupe-coated Harrington jacket exemplifies a post-industrial recalibration of the mid-century utility wear archetype—reconfigured not as homage, but as a structurally disciplined, climate-attuned outerwear system defined by compositional clarity and spatial restraint. Cut from what is likely a tightly woven polyester or polyamide base coated with a micro-layered weather-resistant finish, the shell presents a dry matte surface with tensile consistency, eschewing the synthetic gloss and visual bravado commonly associated with traditional coated garments. This textile approach aligns with the infrastructural material philosophies of Arc’teryx Veilance, Frank Leder, and Western Rise, whose garments embed environmental resilience through constructional logic rather than stylistic performance. Crucially, the pattern cuts decisively away from archival Harrington codes. Traditional design signifiers—raglan sleeves, storm flaps, ribbed hem bands—are omitted in favor of a streamlined configuration marked by a sharply cut spread collar, clean linear sleeves, a zip front with a concealed placket, and a single zippered chest pocket. The result is a silhouette abstracted to its infrastructural essence: a shell reduced to outline, its geometry repositioned from symbolic reenactment to functional proposition.
