Baracuta

Our opinion

Known and popularized thanks to its G9, Baracuta was able to ride on this notoriety to launch other iconic pieces (G4, G10, G23, etc.).

The collection offers coats and raincoats, as well as a line of sweaters, vests and accessories, often adorned with the traditional tartan pattern.

In recent years, the brand has refocused on Made in England, with an increase in quality but also (and above all) in price.

From now on, it costs more than 300 euros for a G9. Even if its versatility and solidity are undeniable, there are Harrington jackets on the market with better quality/price ratios.

That said, the sales allow you to have most models at -30%, which becomes really interesting.

The history of the brand Baracuta

Born in 1937 in Manchester, Baracuta specialized in outerwear and more particularly in the production of rainwear.

The brand's fame is closely linked to the commercial success of the G9, a short raincoat considered to be the first Harrington jacket.

Apart from a few details, notably the cut which has been narrowed, its design has not changed in 80 years of existence.

First intended for golf (hence the G), this versatile piece has survived the 20th century without aging, winning ambassadors as prestigious as Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and Steve McQueen.
