The Baracuta clothing brand, worn by style icons such as Steve McQueen and Elvis Presley, was relaunched by the Yorkshire menswear firm BMB Group in 2005.
The casual zip-up jackets with a red tartan lining were first made in 1937 and are hugely popular in Japan and Italy but now a new modern range has been launched by Leeds-based BMB in Britain and soon in the USA.
But how do the legendary Baracuta jackets stand up against today’s fashion styles and trends and how can you rock one, while staying true to the rich history of Baracuta?

#2 G9 Suede Mod Harrington Jacket
What do you like about this piece?
Cool colour, luxe appearance
What do you think would go well with this piece?
Navy blue denim jeans, a white or gray tee, and sneakers. It's best to stay close to neutrals with this piece for a masculine look though going full-on colour is just as rad if the person can carry it off. Imagining this on dark eggplant pants or even olive-green. Really cool!

#4 G9 Modern Classic Harrington Jacket
What do you like about this piece?
The colour. Rich and rad. A head turner.
What do you think would go well with this piece?
Wear this with charcoal gray pants, white shirt, and sneakers. This colour allows you to incorporate more colour so going for a pale yellow or a rust along with gray can give a look of youthfulness.
