The stock pic he posted is the one from last year. I own the olive version of it. The one you got looks way better though with the new sleeve thing. Also, yours has the fake leather at the edges of the pockets instead of the cloth on last years.

Oh geez, I don't know then.
I don't know if it helps, but the tag says:
325-1137-23
50098
32093849

And the jacket label says
CA#50316 RN#75654

That's pretty cool if I got something better than what was last year's. Maybe it's from two years ago? Either that, or I guess it's a test for this year's, I just noticed they didn't release the Harrison in July with the other outerwear, so I can't compare it, but that's probably likely.

Edit(again): Actually, I'm not sure if they'll even have one this year, it's pretty much the same thing as the Adirondack Jacket but with different pockets, tag, etc. Probably just an old test or something.

Also, the Adirondack has fur on the collar and the Harrison doesn't.

its quite possible that the jacket was not atest, but maybe a first run of the jacket, which they produced, but didnt like, so it was sent to the outlets. then they produced a second line of the harrison.

could that not happen?

^ I though they locked in designs for the whole run because they have tests, but that's a possibility, the outlet did have a whole lot. The only thing I can find wrong with it is that both of the cuffs of the sleeves have these abrasion-stains that make it look like somebody wiped their nose on it. I don't know why they would lose the leather pocket triangles and change the design of the button-plackety thing(it goes all the way up instead of stopping before the top button) though.

If it did then they are stupid. The version he got at the outlet is way better than the version they had last year.

lsan i'm not sure WHAT you got haha...i got one from the store and everything looks the same as yours (i have fake leather triangles like yours, not cloth pieces like peter mentioned) but my sleeves are the stretchy stuff that mold to your wrist, like in the stock pic...not like the one in the image you took of the one you got.

also, does yours have the little pockets on the left sleeve?

if you want to know for sure what you got, i can check the one i have...still has the tags and all. let me know.

Haha, you guys are gonna make me go crazy trying to figure out where my jacket came from. If you'd go check yours, that'd be great.

My Jacket does NOT have the left sleeve pocket.
It does, however, have a snap pocket on the interior of the left chest, but not the right.
Another difference from the stock pic, There's no elastic on the bottom, just regular fabric.
The weird thing is, I HAVE the elastic sleeves, they're just under the fabric sleeve, which seems odd to me.
The collar has a bunch of lines stitched into it, different from the stock pic.
Top button slit is connected to the lower ones.
Zipper-pull is different too.
The strangest thing on it is the rivets on the hang-loop above the label, one is the dark one, like on jeans, and the other is a rust-colored one. Neither match the silver in the stock pic.

It's almost like the guys in the factory had some left over stuff and decided to make a jacket!

In all honesty, that's probably what happened.

It is probably test. I have the longest fucking story for my trip to buffalo and my store experience, it is crazy...Here is what I bought, my dad was so pissed he only let me buy these 2:


Story: Well, there was 2 accidents in burlington so buy the time we got to the border it was 3:30 we left at 12, and then at the border, they had to check us at immigration, and that took an hour, and we arrived at boulevard mall at 5, I went to subway had a philly cheese steak, then we went to aKids to get a hoodie and a pair of jeans for my lil bro, he tried on 4 pairs of jeans 3 baxters and 1 kilburns and he said they were tight!! hes skinny as shit, and I have pretty big legs, and kilburns are so relaxed on me, so anyways he didnt buy them and he got a grey hoodie, and at aKids they played viva la vida, and the volume was so low too, i asked why they said they had an incedent with mall security, and omg the store was small...they had some nice shit nothing in my size of the good stuff, then off to seagull, at seagull again nice tees and shorts and sessions!, that i dunn really need, but one tee i really like only came in xs which is too short on me and a medium which is too loose, so off to ANF, there the music was a bit louder than aKids but nowhere near the loudness of hollister, the store was pretty small, but it was fine, the canoe room was weirdly set up, and they had oly 2 styles of tees on clearance and they were pink and yellow and only in xxl..and they had a wall of wovens in various styles, they had some colored moose ones in large and medium, pretty nice actually, my dad bought one for casual wear, all he usually wears is suits and ties, and they had literally tons of shorts!!!!!!!!! like omfg, the whole store was full of clearance shorts, the whole clearance room was shorts and more shorts, all plainfronts or moose all over than they had 2 full walls of slant rock, none in 30 tho...fuck and in every room they had 2 shelves of shorts on clearance, and then i wanted to get the grindstone creek fleece, i wore it and it was so bulky, it was really gay, then the hamilton jacket, it wasnt warm whatsoever so fuck that, i asked if they had any fur hoodies, in the back and suprsingly the guy brought the grey and navy one out, the fur was soft, didnt see the tags to see how much they were, and i wore the mediums and they were too big, and the guy said those are the smallest ones in at the moment, and a new shipment was coming on monday for the floorset on tuesday/wednesday, he didnt let me take pics tho...then we went to macys and nothing really nice at all, they had some RL polos on sale for 39.99 but only in large and up, and my bro bought some RL jeans...and on our way back it took 3 fucking hours to get to the customs place to check it out, we got through no problems then there was alot of traffic for maybe 30 km, and then after it was pretty light traffic, and we got home...and never fucking again will i go to buffalo, id rather just shop at eaton centre or on vacation...

Geez, I would go buy regular stuff they sell in Canada rather than drive 5 hours. You're seriously devoted, and possibly a little insane.

That's pretty cool if I got something better than what was last year's. Maybe it's from two years ago? Either that, or I guess it's a test for this year's, I just noticed they didn't release the Harrison in July with the other outerwear, so I can't compare it, but that's probably likely.

Edit(again): Actually, I'm not sure if they'll even have one this year, it's pretty much the same thing as the Adirondack Jacket but with different pockets, tag, etc. Probably just an old test or something.

Mine:

Tag:

50098
32091980

Jacket label:
CA 50316 RN 75654

Also, as a further comparison, the white tag on the inside (where the buttons are stitched in, an under the grey care tag) says:

1J1064
A32091980
