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.

Baracuta G9 The Original Harrington

Fashion may change, styles may come and go but when something is this good, it will be around forever. The Original Harrington G9 is as much a part of fashion today as it was in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's.


The Original Harrington G9 jacket by Baracuta is still going strong. Style savvy folk have been donning this iconic garment since 1937!

This fashion icon has been loved through the ages and just keeps on being revived. There is no substitution for the Original Harrington G9 jacket by Baracuta, nothing else comes close to the real deal.

During the 1980's there were plenty attempts at recreating this legendary garment; you could see them in all the 'cheap' clothing stores down Carnaby Street and all across the market squares of Great Britain. Oh the travesty!

Thankfully Carnaby Street has redeemed itself and now features shops that resemble the fashionista pull it had in the 60's and 70's. With shops such as Ben Sherman, Fred Perry and Lambretta nestled in between new labels like G-Star, Diesel and Pretty Green; Men's fashion certainly has a very bright future.



If it's good enough for James Bond (AKA: Daniel Craig) then it's good enough for me.

You can find the Original Harrington G9 jacket in many places, but there's one place where you can get it for a legendary price and delivered straight to your doorstep!

Purchase your Baracuta Harrington G9 jacket today and turn yourself into a Fashicon.
