once again the baracuta g9

baracutanavy

i hope you know this jacket. if you don’t know it, get to know it. behold the baracuta g9. it’s a classic. i’ve blogged about it at least 3 times now. yeah, it’s expensive as hell. and yeah, it’s pretty basic, but it’s a jacket you need to own. while everyone else is out there in last year’s bomber, you can carve your own path in the g9.

here’s the skinny on sizing: it’s slim fit. here’s the other skinny on sizing: the size measurements are uk sizing. what does that mean? it means a 38 is not an american 38. it fits more like an american 34-36. size up. if your jacket size is a 38, you’re going to need a 40 or 42. want more proof? i stole the graphic below straight from their website. don’t say i didn’t warn you.

style icon: michael caine

who says you can’t wear loafers with a suit? sure as hell not michael caine. in fact, i couldn’t find a picture of him not wearing loafers (and few without a cigarette in his mouth). if you’re a suit-and-tie to work kind of guy, then michael caine is your style muse. his suits were tailored to perfection by the late great english tailor doug hayward. hayward tailored his customers suits to savile row standards, but with the relaxed aesthetic of italian design. caine finished the look with thick rimmed glasses, a thin tie and a cigarette. it worked as caine is often regarded as one of the most stylish men on and off the silver screen. and if you haven’t seen caine do work in get carter, do yourself a favor and rent it this weekend. it’s a classic.
