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.
