What to know about Baracuta
One jacket carries the label
The G9 Harrington — stand collar, umbrella back yoke, Fraser tartan lining — has been in production since 1937, with the longer G4 and G10 as variations on it.
Borrowed by Mods and movie stars
The jacket's reputation was built outside the brand: Elvis Presley, Steve McQueen, then Mod and ska subcultures in Britain.
British archive, Italian ownership
WP Lavori in Corso has owned Baracuta since 2012, and recent output includes a Barbour capsule for Autumn/Winter 2025 plus COOTIE PRODUCTIONS and N.Hoolywood collaborations.

How Baracuta fits
Overall fit
slightly small
The signature G9 Harrington is widely described as fitting slightly small and short, with many recommending a size up for layering or a relaxed drape.
Tip: Consider sizing up if you want to layer under the G9 or prefer a roomier fit, as the classic cut runs a touch trim and short.
