Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and the G9

There is only one true G9, and that is THE original Harrington Jacket by Baracuta.



Baracuta and movies have always gone hand in hand. This iconic fashion brand is synonymous with movie stars on and off screen.

The Baracuta G9 is once again getting its close up in front of the camera; this time in the remake of the classic film Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, starring Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Benedict Cumberbatch and Mark Strong.

The G9 earned the nickname Harrington because it was worn by the character Rodney Harrington (played by Ryan ONeal) in the 1960s television programme Peyton Place.



With the imminent release of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, the Harrington is no doubt going to get a new generation of admirers once more.

Classic King's of Cool like Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra and Steve McQueen all loved the G9 so much that they wore it off screen too. This helped promote the fashion brand further because not only did people want to be the characters in the movies, they also wanted to emulate the stars playing them shooting the Harrington to new heights.



The new James Bond film (Bond 23) will also be released 26th October 2012, and everyone knows that Daniel Craig is a big fan of the Baracuta Harrington G9.

So it looks like this iconic fashion brand is not only here to stay but will keep its place at the top of men's fashion for many more years to come.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is released on 16th September in the UK and 18th November in the U.S.A.

The white dress shirt can be worn with so many different looks.

Fashicon have put together a list of essential fashion items and looks that champion the classic white dress shirt.

It's kind of a given that this has been neglected by some men down to the fact that this is known as a more formal fashion item but the classic white shirt as you will see has gone way beyond its formal past.

Daniel Craig works this formal white dress shirt in perfect style, opening up the top two buttons to give it a more casual flair but still looking very sharp in the process.

This look would work well with a straight leg chino style trouser or tucked in slim jeans and shirt out with straight jeans for a total casual look.

The classic white shirt is an ideal choice for any summer party or lunch date.

Wear it with some shorts such as Bermuda Shorts like these by Original Penguin.

Brad Pitt is the perfect example of someone who wears the classic white dress shirt in smart and casual styles.

Another style addition to the classic white shirt, staying with the casual look is the jacket or cardigan.

For the cooler evenings the cardigan is a perfect casual accompaniment.
