baracuta g9 in british tan
a year ago, a good friend of mine gave me his old baracuta g9 in olive green. it was a size too big for me, but i fell in love with it regardless. i don’t think i took it off for several months. this spring i ordered one in my size (the original fits true to your jacket size). the good news is that it arrived this afternoon; the bad news is that the temperature in nashville was 80 degrees today . i’m hoping the weather will cool down for a week or two, so i can get a couple of wears in before it’s too hot.
if you’re thinking about buying a baracuta g9, do it. it’s such a classic jacket. i get more compliments on my green one than any other jacket in my closet. and if you’re going to buy one, do it from o’connell’s clothing in buffalo, ny. they have a great selection and take excellent care of their customers. i can’t recommend them enough.

I had a suede one, but it was too small really. I need to replace it sometime; these things are just great. If anyone needs to get rid of a 40… ha
I have a used size 40. use my name as given for the post at hotmail
They also have a slim fit for those who want a more modern cut! I have the same one you ordered, an original fit G9 in tan; it is indeed a classic jacket and I receive tons of compliments
probably the most iconic jacket in the world
