Closest to a Baracuta, that I know of, is the Real Hoxton harrington. Only the tartan lining actually differs, and it's of course a fraction of the price. Go check it out.
Nice video! I would be helpful if you could mention your height and weight when talking about clothing. That will help us have a better understanding of the brand sizing. Hope you consider this, thanks!
I’ve got a red Harrington just like James Dean had in Rebel Without a Cause. I sometimes wear my swayed black timberlands boots or my Nike 90s style shoes. With my dark or light blue jeans.
In Boston the signature for Irish gangsters was the Barracuda jacket, dating back to the 1960s. Obviously it was all about leather outerwear in the 1970s, the barracuda came back in 1980s and still kills in Beantown today!
How tall are you? I see you are rocking the sz 38 and the fit looks good. I'm indecisive on whether to go 36 or 38, but knowing your height will greatly help me decide.
I got into powerlifting and I'm fairly big guy (around 265 lbs rn), but I've always loved Steve Mcqueen's Style. You think I could still pull off this style?
I was looking at the G4 for forever; I prefer the non-ribbed sleeve/bottom even though the G9 is the true classic. Finally bit the bullet last year because they were 50% off because they were selling old stock for a new 2021 cut of it (not sure what the difference is). I really like it, if you want a Harrington then I don't know if any imitations look just right compared to this one, though I think the sleeves are a bit curved which is normal but I prefer really straight sleeves.
I’d say it’s almost TTS, but might actually size up if you’re anywhere in between sizes. For example I sometimes wear 36 and sometime 38 suits depending on the maker- went 38 here
I’d DEFINITELY size up. Also be aware that Baracuta has a ‘Classic’ fit and an ‘Archive’ fit. The latter gives you slightly more room and length in the sleeves/body.
Dont forget these cheaper brands often dont have the "double zipper feature" which i really like on Baracuta. Great jacket but should be bought around 200 euros, close to 400 is too much.
whats the point of a double zipper on such a short jacket? On something like a parka or a long mid thigh to knee rain jacket, I get, so you can get to your pant pockets easier, but never got it on shorter coats. if anything, its. just slightly harder to zip up since you have to align both zippers right.
@@stevensoto3724 I already bought the dark navy as well. I like it a lot but it really is just a minor shade away from black. I'm definitely keeping it but if I had known I probably would have gone with the regular navy. Overall the g9 is just as good a fit and high quality as I'd hoped it would be.
I also had the Baracuta G9 in Navy, but I felt it was too slim fitting for me, so I switched over to the Valstarino dark navy suede jacket, which fits better, and adds more texture and character to the jacket, button up front, and external pockets, and an Italian flare. By the way, I love how you talk about whatever you like on your channel. I'm going to take your lead and try switching over my videos from strictly Rolex to the other things I own...
Incredible videos as always!
James Dean didnt wear harrington baracuta
You are right it was a Bud Berma nylon windbreaker 😀

Is yours the navy color or dark navy color?
Were you able to try your jacket in a store? If so which one? Looking to try one on in the US

What’s the difference b/w the G9 and the G4?
One of my favorites in my collection.
100% worth it. I prefer the Baracuta G9, rather than Ralph Lauren, Lacoste or Barbour.
whats your size? height? .. im 5foot 5, i wanted to know what size should i get for g9.

Hey I like your sideburns dude
i am planning to get a beige harrington for winter but idk what to wear inside
Great video. Could you please tell me what button down shirt are you wearing?

As an owner of this model, absolutely! It almost fits everyone and looks classy
@@ricoimf777 How do I know if what size to get?
thrifted this jacket for $7 about a month ago
Plenty of cheap nasty fakes around. You can see and feel the difference.
Mark, what size did you buy and how tall are you? I’m about to buy mine…
Got myself a 38, I'm 5'7" in height.
@@MarkKwakHey. What's your weight? What version did you get? I hear there are two models , one is slim fit and one is regular.
Bro which colour is the best "Green vs Khaki" ?

Hi, nice review. May i know how tall are you?
How'ss the fit? TTS?

I don’t like the slim fit of the G9. I believe the jacket had a fuller cut back when Steve McQueen wore one.
Hey Mark, did you order yours online or did you go to a store?
Hey there, I actually went to a store - JCrew had them a while back in store, not so sure if they do anymore.
James Dean didn't wear a G9.. but the jacket he wore help popularize the G9

@@Mentis-de 300? Read what i said.. also in the end its all subjectieve. I find that the cheaper ones often don’t look as good.

@@Mentis-de Lol butthurt clown, enjoy ur amazon jacket and dont cry.
@@midshipman8654 Comfort and i guess aesthetics.The zippers are of good quality but sometimes it idd is a struggle to work with.
Is that jacket in the navy or dark navy color? Can't decide which one to get but the one you have is pretty much what I'm looking for.
I believe his is navy; I have a dark navy G9 that almost looks black

I buy today a G4 and the fit is a bit different and its maybe more durable because of the wrist and collar of the jacket 😊 but we will see
wich color is that? Navy Blue or Dark Navy?
Looks like the Racing Green
I also had the Baracuta G9 in Navy, but I felt it was too slim fitting for me, so I switched over to the Valstarino dark navy suede jacket, which fits better, and adds more texture and character to the jacket, button up front, and external pockets, and an Italian flare.

Yes I too love Valstar jackets. One more brand to try is private white VC
Do you know if yours was a classic fit or an archive fit?
Hi Mark, is your jacket the classic navy or dark navy?
I believe this is the classic navy
James Dean is not wearing a Baracuta G9 in the photo. He is wearing a Mcgregor Drizzler jacket.
Watching your great contents has actually made me poor. What size is your jacket if you don’t mind me asking. Keep up the awesome work!
Hah, sorry man! Sure, I'm a 38 on this jacket, and it fits quite snug so if you're normally a 38, you may actually benefit going up to 40.
Great stuff sir! Quick question - did you get the 'Classic' or 'Archive' fit?
Since no answer, I believe his jacket is the Classic fit.
