I love the Baracuta G9. Great video. It's a regular part of my wardrobe, and I probably wear them more than any other jacket. I started with navy and sand, but recently added a McQueen stone and a racing green. Now I'm eyeing a brick red. They get a little addictive...
not surprisingly they were intense rivals although NEWMAN was known to not take it as seriously !! Mcqueen made an early bit part appearance in SOMEBODY UP THERE LIKES ME ! feat.NEWMAN and remarked one day i'll be bigger than that FUCKWIT !! and for awhile he was !! loved his style and saavy and is an influence if not in film style then in life stylings CHEERs!
Coming to this video now in research for our next episode of the podcast. Any intel on what happened to the King of Cool website? Another great informational video nonetheless, and you've really levelled up the audio (pun intended) on your Vlog since this video . Best, Pb
I wanted to view this video on my laptop but I got a you tube error message stating "This video is unavailable on this device." Why is that? Never saw that on youtube ever and have watched this partivular video of yours in the past.
Enjoyed the video , well done . Just as a side note McQueen and Newman both parted their hair on the right . Both are my style heroes . Best wishes from England keep up the videos really enjoy your presentation style 👍
I love your videos David, really good content however I believe this could be improved by investing in the audio quality. Great stuff, keep them coming.
Spot on review on the G9! Had my own review for the jacket on youtube, owned the faded black and tan colors.Baracuta is awesome brand! can't see myself wearing another jacket. Cheers man!
I have one which is a little lighter and closer to grey than the ones you've shown here. The thing is, I barely wear it as I finish difficult to match with anything.
The styles that McQueen adopted were largely from English 60's MOD Culture ... Desert/Chukka Boots were of English Army origins with Clarks - an English company - being the first to produce them in the Western Fashion scene. The Baracuta G9 or Harrington Jacket (Made by Grenfell 1930's in England) worn by Elvis and McQueen, were again, ubiquitous English cultural clothing items from English Clothing lines, all worn by Mods in the 60's and before. The Polo shirt - Sunspel, Fred Perry, Ben Sherman etc - predate Lacoste and go back to British Polo players in the late 19th Century during the Colonial period in India. The notion that Daniel Craig is borrowing from McQueen is ironically circular because McQueen was borrowing directly from standard British MOD fashion in the 1960's - though most Americans did not know it! Sean Connery was already sporting these cool British styles in the 1964 release of Dr No ... although I am a big fan of McQueen, I reject the notion that McQueen Style appeared as if ex nihlo and was unique to him. Daniel Craig owes nothing to McQueen and everything to British MOD Culture and all that came before it in England. Daniel Craig simply dresses like a sharp London MOD.
You're right about 95%. I'd say if Daniel brougt anything McQueen'ish to Bond it would definitely be Steve's anti authority attitude. There might be similiarities in fashion between the two but that's only...window dressing.
Good Segment on Baracuta jackets. Wish you put some graphics on the side of the screen for each jackets you introduce. Viewers would appreciate the correct spelling of full official names for each jackets. Thanks.
In the first year of the Happy Days TV show back in the 1970's ABC thought that dressing Fonzie in a black leather motorcycle jacket would be too "edgy" for primetime family sitcom. So, for the first season the Fonzie character wore a jacket that resembled a Baracuta G9 in a light cream color.
This is a sentence with a direct PERIOD at the end. NONE of these hollywood dimwits will EVER be what the real Steve McQueen: The Real King of Cool was,EVER. PERIOD.
I have been a fan of bond since I was 7 and a fan of mcqueen since I was 18 and I'm 36 now. but I think the bond experience should make a transition to charles bronson. I have and I love it
I have a question .. The brown jacket that appeared in the last videoIs it the same product on this link?www.thekingofcool.com/clothing/frank-bullitt-jacket.htmlI want to know this because the color looks a bit different from what you have in the pictureWhere it looks a bit darker brown to the truth you have .. than it exists across the site .. and thanks for this video
I've been looking at ordering myself a Baracuta g9 and am unsure about sizing. I've seen some sites suggest a 40 is like a s, 42 m, 44 l, etc. I wear a 42 but am no medium. Would u say your 40 is like a 40 (more along the lines of a medium) or do you typically wear a small? Because if I had to guess I would say you look like a medium.
Always enjoy your 007 offerings, David. I'm old school. While I think Craig is a good actor, It's my personal opinion he lacks cool, charm and that 'elegance' to pull off Ian Fleming's 007. He does have the tuff guy, rigid, unanimated, face. But , so did Randolph Scott and Richard Widmark. Dr No was the first of its kind and spawn generations of copycats. Recently we had Vin Diesel playing a 'save the world' from dr evil type character. Those are fun and entertaining but EON and Terence Young and Guy Hamilton maintained that higher level of sophistication (except for the duck disguise in Goldfinger's opening) The Bond girls are getting less voluptous. I really look forward to Craig's exit and Barb bringing back a man's man, ladie's man type with a bit more charm.....Henry Caville possibly or Jon Hamm, Aiden Turner????
I think baracuta is an amazing English brand but if your looking to get a Harrington you don’t need to get one of these because you can get one for £95 from Ben Sherman or if you go o Camden in London if your from the England and get one for like £50 which is amazing
I've been waiting for baracuta to restock the navy G4 for ages in the uk. They don't have them in their store either. I personally think the G4 is better than the g9. Never liked the elastic cuffs and the G4 also inspired the Tom ford Harrington! Great video David!
The last jacket isn't a hunting jacket, hunting jackets have an upper patch to rest the shotgun stock against whilst shooting. The elbow patches are nothing more than wear and tear prevention. Everything on the last jacket was fine until you revealed that garish, even somewhat childish portrait patch on the inside. Nice review nonetheless.
The one worn by Tom Cruise is actually a G10 jacket. It is identical to the G9, although much slimmer cut and shorter. It is a MUCH better fit than the G9 IMHO.
Regan Donohue There was definitely a G10 Harrington that was released back in 2010. I was unaware of another release for that particular model though. It is a much slimmer fit, and it has all the details of the classic G9, except for the shoulder seams on the G10 vs the raglan shoulder of the G9. I see that Baracuta is now using the "G10" code for their raincoat. Just google "Baracuta G10 harrington" and you can see the one I'm talking about. There was actually a special promotion for Knight and Day, where you can win a G10 Harrington by entering a competition. I wish they would re-release the G10 harrington model, as like I said above it is a MUCH better fit.
Ah yes, I see. I was unaware of this jacket. Personally, I'd still take the G9, though that's because I pride myself on authentic details as much as possible.
Delano Omar bithes ??. If miles Davies was such a style icon I wouldn't have to research it people would be making videos about his style . Talented musician absolutely I'm with you there . Style icon deffinately not and the only thing he'd be taking off these 2 is style tips I think they did just fine for the ladies
You cant just dress cool alot of people dress cool. you have to be cool mcqueen could wear a bright yellow tanktop with a howling wolf picture on front red shoes and green trousers😄 clothes dont make cool hard lives the school of hard knocks and the right attitude make cool that was mcqueen 😎
All actors who've played James Bonds personalize what cool is, except Craig. He is the total opposite of what Bond is: short, blonde, ugly, poorly dressed, unrefined, and raw in mannerism overall. The books and the alter ego of the writer describes him as: tall, dark-hair, handsome, well-educated, well-traveled, multilingual, elite military-trained, sophisticated, a lady's men, obscenely wealthy, of royal lineage, and always well-dressed for the occasion.

McQueen did have such a great style which amazingly still looks great today, but don't forget Paul Newman that fella always seemed to look stylish.
not surprisingly they were intense rivals although NEWMAN was known to not take it as seriously !! Mcqueen made an early bit part appearance in SOMEBODY UP THERE LIKES ME ! feat.NEWMAN and remarked one day i'll be bigger than that FUCKWIT !! and for awhile he was !! loved his style and saavy and is an influence if not in film style then in life stylings CHEERs!
Along with James Deans casual style
good video.. very nice channel always excited when you release new stuff
Coming to this video now in research for our next episode of the podcast. Any intel on what happened to the King of Cool website? Another great informational video nonetheless, and you've really levelled up the audio (pun intended) on your Vlog since this video . Best, Pb
I wanted to view this video on my laptop but I got a you tube error message stating "This video is unavailable on this device."
Why is that?
Never saw that on youtube ever and have watched this partivular video of yours in the past.
Enjoyed the video , well done . Just as a side note McQueen and Newman both parted their hair on the right .
Both are my style heroes .
Best wishes from England keep up the videos really enjoy your presentation style 👍
Great Video David, congratulations for the Steve McQueen outfit please do more reviews from the kings of cool.
This jacket where I'm from (BALTIMORE) was a well worn jacket and we wore the London Fog brand . Great jacket either way.
I love your videos David, really good content however I believe this could be improved by investing in the audio quality. Great stuff, keep them coming.
Nice video and you’re someone that wears it well, great explanations
"This video is unavailable on this device." I cannot watch this video on both my PC and Iphone.... Plz help
Spot on review on the G9! Had my own review for the jacket on youtube, owned the faded black and tan colors.Baracuta is awesome brand! can't see myself wearing another jacket. Cheers man!
how tall are you? I'm 5'10" and debating between a size 40 or 42 in the G9 jacket
Thanks for doing this. Wondering have you ever felt the Fred Perry Made In England Harrington fabric? Wondering how it compares!
Hey what’s your waist size? I also want to buy a size 40. But not sure if it’s going to fit me in the mid section. Pls help
It’s one of your best videos I really enjoyed it keep up the good work 👍
Love all the looks David, and I was thinking "old man" outfit a little with the first Harrington jacket I must admit. Great work.
I can't watch the video! On my laptop, phone, and smart TV it says the video is unavailable on this device!
You never talked about the sizing on the G9
Why does this video come up as unavailable on mobile _and_ desktop? What other devices are there to watch RUclips on?
Which G9 are you wearing? Is it the Modern classic or the Baratex 3L? As far as I can see they are both regular fit on the baracuta website...
This video is unavailable on this device. Wth??
what is the size conversion for USA 40 ? thanks
European is 50!
Managed to buy a G9 this morning for £40, can't wait for it to arrive
- Polnvd £40? You sure it’s legit
I have one which is a little lighter and closer to grey than the ones you've shown here. The thing is, I barely wear it as I finish difficult to match with anything.
Trying to figure out how to 👍your videos multiple times
What brand V-neck are you wearing?
great video keep up the good work.
This video is unavailable on an iPad? Your other videos work?

And also the link from where to get it!

Ryan O’Neil made the G9 famous, he wore one when he played Rodney Harrington in Peyton Place, hence the nickname “Harrington”
Is that company still in business?
David the video doesnt work?
thank you :) you saved my research time . .
I wonder why my phone says: “This video is unavailable on this device”. I wanted to watch this. 😢
Great video!

me too man..ifeel u...lol
I wonder why we can 't view this anymore.
When he showcased the different pictures of the celebs wearing the jacket it went silent, he propably got a copyright
Is this the classc or the archive?

I wear a 42 R and got a 42 Baracuta and fits fine. So you can get your regular size.
Why doesn’t this video play try different formats none work

I believe McQueen wear a little darker pants than yours. It is not a normal dark grey.
I think baracuta is an amazing English brand but if your looking to get a Harrington you don’t need to get one of these because you can get one for £95 from Ben Sherman or if you go o Camden in London if your from the England and get one for like £50 which is amazing
You don't get it
I have a navy and natural G9...IMO the navy is what I wear more at night
I've been waiting for baracuta to restock the navy G4 for ages in the uk. They don't have them in their store either.
I personally think the G4 is better than the g9. Never liked the elastic cuffs and the G4 also inspired the Tom ford Harrington!
Great video David!

I like my green Harrington
He is pure McQueen.
The one worn by Tom Cruise is actually a G10 jacket. It is identical to the G9, although much slimmer cut and shorter. It is a MUCH better fit than the G9 IMHO.
Stan Yiu Sounds more like a G4. The G10 is a coat, and more remniscent of the old London Fog raincoats back then.
Regan Donohue There was definitely a G10 Harrington that was released back in 2010. I was unaware of another release for that particular model though. It is a much slimmer fit, and it has all the details of the classic G9, except for the shoulder seams on the G10 vs the raglan shoulder of the G9. I see that Baracuta is now using the "G10"

Ah yes, I see. I was unaware of this jacket. Personally, I'd still take the G9, though that's because I pride myself on authentic details as much as possible.
Nah ur mistake man, g10 is always longer, g4 is shorter one
you look like a bit Kevin Costner with Persol on..
mc queen probably said that it was comfortable and left it at that!!!!!!!
How are you going to have a Kings of cool discussion, and not have one picture of Miles Davis?!?!?!
your right on point bro .. somebodys got to make a miles davis style video.
Phillip Redden simple , he's not a style icon , end of !!!!!!
get the hell out of here..do your research..miles would blow both these dudes away..plus take there bithes.
Delano Omar bithes ??.
If miles Davies was such a style icon I wouldn't have to research it people would be making videos about his style .
Talented musician absolutely I'm with you there . Style icon deffinately not and the only thing he'd be taking off these 2 is style tips I think they did just fine for the ladies
Do 1980s Miami Vice and 1990s New York Undercover
You cant just dress cool alot of people dress cool. you have to be cool mcqueen could wear a bright yellow tanktop with a howling wolf picture on front red shoes and green trousers😄 clothes dont make cool hard lives the school of hard knocks and the right attitude make cool that was mcqueen 😎
I think Ralph Lauren made the Harrington more popular…… but I prefer dickies ones
A Harrington jacket is cheaper and dose the same Job
Amico ho come l’impressione che tu stia perdendo icapelli...
And No Shaggy Pants!
That G9 is way too tight on you mate, hit the gym or go up a size..
Daniel craig dosent have 1% of mcqueen cool fact
Craig is cool but not a patch on McQueen who was the real deal
King of queens Doug Steven lavert Obama Wendy Michelle sauce Spanish Santana death row records
That's because Hollywood dress them
never a definitive list of items and prices....very disappointing.
Sort your audio quality out
The V neck aint it
All actors who've played James Bonds personalize what cool is, except Craig. He is the total opposite of what Bond is: short, blonde, ugly, poorly dressed, unrefined, and raw in mannerism overall.

Old men's kit for old men.
Sure that's why so many "not old men" rock the jacket. Move on...
Not like there's anything wrong with dressing like an old man, anyway. I'd rather Baracutas and Oxfords to sweatpants and slippers.
well said
You have no idea what your own about. Go back to hanging around the mall with your skater friends. Idiot
craig isn't cool
