Merc Harrington Size Guide: Vintage Jackets and Shirts

Merc is a British brand specialized in mod and vintage style. The Harrington is one of its most iconic pieces: a lightweight, elastic, and versatile jacket inspired by 1960s fashion. Here we help you find your perfect size in Harrington jackets, mod shirts, and accessories. Merc garments have a tighter fit than American brands, with lengths designed for the British silhouette.

Merc Harrington Fit

Fitted (Standard): Merc Harrington jackets and mod shirts have a more precise and tighter cut than standard relaxed fit. They follow body lines without being tight. This is the characteristic style of the British vintage brand.

Available sizes: Merc offers sizes S–XL. Sizes tend to be smaller than American brands: an S from Merc is approximately equivalent to an XS/S American size.

How to Measure Your Size

For Harrington jackets, measure:

• Chest width: Measure horizontally across your chest (under armpit), without pulling tight. This is the most important measurement.
• Jacket length: From neck to hem. Merc Harringtons are shorter than modern casual jackets (they don't completely cover the hip).
• Sleeve length: From shoulder to wrist. Merc sleeves are slightly shorter than standard.

For mod shirts, measure:

• Chest width: Measure horizontally across your chest (under armpit), without pulling tight.
• Total length: From neck to hem. Merc shirts tend to be shorter.
• Sleeve length: From shoulder to wrist.

Larger or Smaller Size?

Choose a smaller size if: you have a slim build, prefer tight fits, or wear small European sizes.

Choose a larger size if: you prefer more freedom of movement, have broad shoulders, or want a more relaxed fit.

Care and Materials

Merc Harrington jackets are typically made from cotton and polyester (for durability). Mod shirts use 100% cotton or cotton-polyester blends.

Washing instructions: Machine wash at 30°C on gentle cycle. Merc garments tend to hold their shape very well. Slight shrinkage (1-2%) is normal on first wash.
