BARACUTAFounded in 1937 in Manchester by the Miller brothers, BARACUTA began by crafting innovative rainwear with excellent water repellency and wind resistance. The G9, originally designed as a golf jacket, went on to become the archetype of the modern blouson. Today, it remains beloved worldwide as a timeless piece that bridges British tradition and casual style.Lightweight Yet Densely Woven Cotton Typewriter FabricCrafted from high-density cotton typewriter cloth, this fabric offers a crisp texture and subtle sheen despite its light weight. It folds compactly without bulk—ideal for travel or layering. Its tightly woven structure resists wear, distortion, and light rain, embodying BARACUTA’s refined British sensibility with everyday practicality.The front body and upper back yoke feature partial lining of the same material, while the rest of the jacket is unlined.Signature Details That Stand the Test of TimeThe “Dog Ear” collar—named for its shape—is a hallmark of the G9. It can be worn standing for a cool look or buttoned for added wind protection.Originally made for golfers, the raglan sleeves provide ease of movement, and the roomy armholes allow layering over wider-cut tops for versatile wear.The double-zip front adds flexibility, allowing easy adjustment for different looks or ventilation.Button-flap side pockets keep belongings secure, while an interior chest pocket with button closure provides discreet storage.The cuffs feature gussets for adjustable styling—buttoned for a classic finish or open for a relaxed feel.The iconic “Umbrella Yoke” on the back helps channel rainwater smoothly, combining function and signature design.Drawcords at both hems allow for subtle silhouette adjustments, adding a sportier edge when cinched.Refined Box Silhouette with a Jacket-Like FinishWhile the G9 is known for its rounded, sporty shape, the G4 features clean, straight lines for a sleeker, more mature impression. Without ribbed hems and cuffs, its straight-cut silhouette exudes effortless sophistication. The supple faux leather adds comfort and versatility, pairing seamlessly with shirts, knits, or trousers for a timeless, elegant look.
