BaracutaMen's G9 Modern Classic Jacket

I bought this in Dark Navy color. Fits the same as a G9 Baracuta I bought previously some 35+ years ago when I was stationed in the UK. Didn’t think about what I was buying: rainy and damp all the time in East Anglia, I needed a jacket to deal with the weather. Salesperson suggested the G9 telling me it was a “classic in the American cinema”, so I tried it on and liked it. I am 6’2” with broad shoulders and 183 pounds, and the 46 fit me just right. Didn’t know was I was really getting until I owned it and got educated by folks in the pubs and shops while traveling around Britain. Fits slim and goes great with business casual, the clothes I often wear now working in the business world. This is great for travel in the cooler autumn months, too, as it gives you a nice jacket that goes well with anything, honestly. Take off the suit jacket and tie and just wear this out to grab drinks and dinner with friends… Wear it with khakis or jeans… anything… works great!

OK. Firstly, let me say that this is a great quality jacket. No - its not THE best quality jacket out there but it is way above most you will find on the high street. Think Barbour quality and you wouldn't be too far off the mark. I was very pleased with the cut and the finish. Spare buttons are also included.Apparently Baracuta is now owned by an Italian company and the quality has dropped off the since it was taken over. However, the English and Italians know their way around a sewing machine so it didn't matter to me.Sizes - very confusing. I'm not sure what sizes are used here on Amazons site - English, Italian or American but it was very hard for me to determine the correct size jacket for my body type. I ended up returning the first two as they were too small and finally settled on a size 46. I must say full credit to Amazon and the store selling these as I was credited each time within a few hours of dropping it off at UPS (free return shipping). No fuss. No problems. Couldn't be easier.OK. I am 5' 11" and 190lbs. Not athletic build or over weight. No strange proportions with shoulders, arms, torso etc. Just a pretty regular - if a bit Dad'ish - type bod. Should maybe do a few more sit ups rather than have that extra beer but hey ho...Anyway, I couldn't get a proper handle on the sizes (is there a size chart somewhere.?) so started with a 40. Forget it - I couldn't even get my shoulders in. Sent back for a 44. Lots better but slightly tight when I exhaled. Sent that back for a 46 which - for me fits perfectly. Definitely go for a bigger size then you think you are!All in all, I'm happy with my purchase and how it went. A bit hit or miss with the sizes but I got there in the end.

Im 5'9, 175lbs, 42R suit coat and in a dress shirt 17 32x33. I emailed baracuda and told them i liked my jackets a little baggier and was apprehensive of buying a 42 and they recommended a 46. I double checked on the baracuda site and indeed, a 46 was the equivalent of a US size XL. Due to the reviews of them running small i was glad i did get a 46 instead of a 42. I wore an undershirt, long sleeve T, and a sweater vest under it and it didnt fit too tight and i had full range of motion. The jacket wasnt hanging too far off my waist either and i certainly wasnt swimming in it. The cuffs came to my wrists and all in all its a perfect fit. The tag does say "made in the UK" however all my email correspondence came from Italy. It has a double zipper so it can stay secure on the bottom and if you want to unzip from the top and pop the collar it will stay in place. Nice tartan lining and appears water resistant. Very expensive but if you want the real deal this is it. There are much cheaper versions on etsy and ebay, but none were made in the UK or at least the ones I did find wouldnt ship to the USA so I broke down and bought the authentic. Certainly not a winter coat and like I said, buy a few sizes bigger if you want a more relaxed fit

The jacket arrived with a defective / non-working zipper! Additionally, the material is "cloth" and not the typical G9 jacket fabric. The classic cut runs boxy and doesn't present as stylish or well fitting as the G9 slim cut. Further, I was unaware per the product description that classic implied a regular (roomier) cut rather than the more popular slim cut. Size selection was also challenging according to this merchant's size chart.. However, I referred to Baracuta's website for helpful and accurate size information. Unfortunately, due to the defective zipper and preferred G9 slim style, it was necessary to return this item!

I never really review anything but was so impressed with this jacket I felt obligated to. For context, I am 6' 180lbs with an athletic build (size 42 chest, 32 waist). After reading a bunch of reviews and surfing other pages I decided to be safe and order a size up with a 44. Incredibly happy I did as this jacket would have been too tight at a 42 and is a perfectly slim and comfortable fit at a 44. The quality of the material is ridiculous, the tartan lining is beautiful, button interior pocket functional and retro, and really everything about this made in England jacket screams attention to detail and old-school quality. It is a vintage style bomber with heritage and a modern cut that will never go out of style and while it is definitely expensive, it is undoubtedly worth the price. I bought a second one in tan I was so in love. This and a Barbour Ashby are the staple jackets for a young professional and have a place in any man's wardrobe.
