Roots of the G9
The Miller brothers, who founded the brand, were both passionate golfers. In 1937, they created the prototype of the G9, inspired by the British Army jumper, as golf-appropriate wear. The name “G9” is derived from the word “Golf.”
BARACUTA
Founded by the Miller brothers in Manchester, UK, in 1937, BARACUTA began by creating waterproof and windproof rainwear, a revolutionary product at the time. Since the introduction of the G9 as a golf outerwear, it has become the prototype for what is now known as a bomber jacket, loved by people all over the world.
Traditional Fabric Feel Maintained
The body is made from a slightly dry cotton fabric, maintaining the vintage-inspired color palette.
The lining features a traditional tartan check pattern, adding a subtle yet stylish touch when the jacket is unzipped.
The sleeve lining is made of 100% polyester, providing a smooth fit.
Silhouette with Definition
The wide body with a consistently sleek length provides a silhouette that works well with both slim and wide pants. The fabric’s volume and the ribbed cuffs and hem create a well-defined silhouette.
Depending on the choice of bottom or inner layer, you can enjoy a range of styles, from smart to casual.
Unchanged Details from the Past
The “dog ear” collar, named for its resemblance to a dog’s drooping ears, is an iconic detail of the G9. When the collar is raised, it creates a relaxed look, and when the buttons are fastened, it enhances wind protection.
Originally designed as golf wear, the G9 features raglan sleeves for ease of movement around the shoulders. The armholes are also wide enough to comfortably wear a wide T-shirt underneath.
The front double zipper allows for versatile styling options by adjusting the openness.
The side pockets feature button-flap closures to securely store items, while the left chest has a patch pocket with a button.
The ribbed cuffs offer a comfortable fit and stay securely at the wrist. The fabric is made from durable polyester and nylon.
The back features the “umbrella yoke” design, which helps direct rainwater off the jacket, adding both functionality and style.
As the seasons shift to spring and fall, this iconic jacket is perfect for when you need a light yet stylish layer to keep you warm.
