Harrington Jacket

Baracuta, founded in 1937 by brothers John and Isaac Miller in Manchester, UK, revolutionized the casual outerwear industry with the launch of the G9 jacket. Over the decades, the Baracuta has become a staple of the wardrobe, from James Dean, Elvis Presley, Steve McQueen, Ryan O'Neil, Eric Clapton to the present day with Jason Statham and Daniel Craig, the Baracuta G9 is the jacket of the "Beautiful and damned" that never goes out of style.

The name Harrington derives from the character played by Ryan O ’Neal in the 1960 TV series Peyton Place, named after Rodney Harrington, who used to show it in the serial and thus became famous all over the world with this name. The Harrington jacket was created for golfers of the time, but its practicality and affordable cost made it one of the favorite pieces of the working class of the time until it became an iconic garment for many celebrities in the entertainment world; above all Steve Mc Queen and Elvis. Then adopted by the mods as a paradigm of the casual but elegant style.

The Harrington jacket is distinguished by some details that make it a unique and still very beautiful garment to wear today.

• The G9 jacket is in waterproof cotton long just below the belt, full zip closure that runs up to the neck.

• Raglan sleeves and knitted cuffs, a sweater that is also found in the lower part of the jacket, the collar is raised and closes with two side buttons, very similar to a Korean collar.

• Two flap pockets with buttons on both sides of the lower fronts, cut at a 45 degree angle.

• A shoulder yoke designed to allow rain to slide. This characteristic umbrella shape was later patented.

• The interior strictly in Fraser Tartan. In order to use this particular inner lining, brothers John and Isaac Miller had to seek personal permission from Lord Lovat of Beaufort Castle to use that particular design.
