Designed in Manchester by the Miller brothers, the G9 Harrington Jacket was conceived as a lightweight outer layer, built for movement and shifting weather.
A year after its creation, it acquired one of its most distinctive elements. Brigadier Simon Fraser, 25th Chief of Clan Fraser of Lovat, granted Baracuta the use of the Fraser Tartan, an enduring pattern rooted in centuries of Scottish tradition.
Crafted from Baracuta Cloth and lined with the signature Fraser Tartan in breathable Coolmax® fabric, the jacket is defined by a series of considered details. The two-button collar offers protection at the neck, while the slanted front pockets, originally designed to hold two golf balls, reflect its sporting origins. Ribbed cuffs and hem provide structure and help keep out the wind. The last, but one of the most notable features, is the umbrella back yoke, which allows rain to fall away from the wearer.
Today, the G9 Harrington Jacket continues to hold its place within British outerwear, recognised for its continuity of design and construction. Not a reinterpretation. The original.
There are few garments more quintessentially British than the Baracuta G9 Jacket, the one and only original Harrington Jacket. A true cross-cultural icon, it has been designed and made in the UK since 1937. It features the iconic Fraser Tartan lining, a hallmark of its timeless appeal. Other distinctive features include the classic two-button collar, deep pockets designed to hold two golf balls, ribbed cuffs and hem, and the unmistakable umbrella back yoke crafted to keep rainwater at bay. Baracuta's got your back covered—literally! Made in the UK from the start and created for the unpredictable British weather, it’s a versatile piece that can be worn in any setting, by anyone, and in any season.
