For the past eight decades, Baracuta’s staple jackets, such as the G9 Harrington, have embodied the brand’s timeless design, dedication to craftsmanship and cultural resonance. Today, the G9 Harrington is a constant, with its designs and values never changing. The Baracuta Cloth fabric for the jacket continues to be manufactured in the U.K. — with the same focus on quality materials and craftsmanship.
Over the years, the G9 has been worn by the likes of legendary entertainers Elvis Presley, James Dean, Ryan O’Neal, Frank Sinatra and more. Back in the U.K., musicians from The Clash to Eric Clapton have donned the G9 jacket over the years. Subsequently, as Britpop raged in the 1990s, both Liam Gallagher and Damon Albarn, the two frontmen of Oasis, dueled while wearing their Harringtons.
