Yes used to go in there for stay-press and Harrington jackets.Then go to another stall to get my initials put on the jacket. (how sad)
Thing about Harringtons was as soon as you got within 5 yards of their stall,the assistants would appear from nowhere and harrass you.
Great memories though.

was it just a coincidence they sold harrington jackets or is that where they actually originate from?
