Baracuta Jackets, always a Timeless Classic!!

Baracuta have been making Harrington Jackets since 1937 when they started out business in Manchester. Over the years Baracuta Jackets have been worn by many famous people including Elvis Presley, Steve Mcqueen, Frank Sinatra and Alf Ramsey. More recently tearaway rock star Pete Doherty is often seen wearing the iconic G9 Harrington Jacket and in 2006 The Ordinary Boys frontman Preston entered the celebrity Big Brother House wearing a BaracutaJacket.

Baracuta jackets are also very popular with the mods and scooter boys, who like to wear them over a classic Fred Perry polo shirt or check shirt with farah trousers or straight leg jeans such as levis.

The classic Harrington jacket has also caught on with fashionable young men who like to keep up with trends and is an ideal weight jacket for a night out.

TheBaracutaG9 Jacket is still the same today as it originally was with its tartan check lining and umbrella style vents at the back.

I’m sure Baracuta will continue to manufacture for many more years to come and they will always been seen as the Original Harrington Jacket.

Pretty Green, The New Lyle & Scott????

Pretty Green the clothing brand by Liam Gallagher has been around for nearly 2 years now and has established itself as one of the brands to be seen in by the young trendy lad. Gone is the Golden Eagle of Lyle & Scott, the little cute penguin of Original Penguin and the Crocodile of Lacoste the boy about town now wants Gallaghers swirly Pretty Green logo on his chest.
We all obviously know it's music that has made Liam the man he is today fronting what is probably the biggest band in the world ever Oasis and now his new band Beady Eye.

Away from music Liam has always had a passion for clothing which made him launch his own brand Pretty Green, i suppose at first to him it was a bit of fun and probably looked at it as a hobby but now it's a huge successful brand and last year won the Drapers Menswear Brand of The Year which is a great achievement for any brand but Pretty Green achieved it after just over a year since launching.

Many brands of this ilk are often seen as 'here today, gone tomorrow' brands but i'm sure with Liam Gallagher behind things it won't be the case with Pretty Green and it will be a popular brand for many years to come.
