[~ 70's] Vintage Baracuta G-4 Driving Jacket

Estimated 70's, Baracuta(Barraceta)It will be "G-4 Driving Jacket" made.

Baracuta is a brand founded in 1937 by the brothers of John Miller and Isaac Miller.
They were originally active in the rainwear industry, and had a history of manufacturing raincoats for other brands, such as Burberry and Aqua Scutom.

In the same yearThe factory was established in Manchester, England, which is also known as a cottonopolis (cotton city), where the world's first Harrington jacket, G-9, has been launched.
In 1938, the following year, we allowed and adopted the use of a flarer tartan check.

Baracuta, which began exporting to the United States in the 1950s, gained popularity for golf elite.
The jacket was later worn by celebrities such as Elvis Presley and James Dean, and transformed from a sports apparel to a fashion item.

Baracuta is a transcendental silhouette that transcends that era, excellent quality.The classic style has long been successful through various historical events, cultural movements, trends, and generations.

From Barakuta, which has a huge impact on such a fashion industry, it is the introduction of "G-4 DRIVING JACKET", which is the second classic item after the G-9.

In contrast to the use of golf jackets, the "G-4", which is the origin of the barcuta, is developed so that the "G-4", which is the individual, can be used as a driving court. Yeah.

The G-4, which was sold in the United States in the 1950s, gained popularity, especially among Ivy League students.

The G-9 is a very different detailThe length is short and both sleeves and hem have a rib specification, while the G-4 has a slightly longer length and the rib specifications are abolished in both sleeves and hem.It is a jacket with a relaxed and relaxing atmosphere.

The G-9 and the silhouette are different, butIt maintains the lining of the flarer tartan, which is a characteristic of the barcuta, and has inherited the features of the G-9, such as the design on the back of the diagonal front pocket, two button dogs and umbrella cats.

A nice point is the "lagran sleeve" specification that expands the range of motion around the arm.
Even if you wear it over size, the fabric will fall along the shoulder line, so you can wear it with a beautiful silhouette. 

The previous match is a zip -up type by zip fastener.
The zip slider uses a "AERO" zip.

Normally, many individuals that are circulating are "YKK", and rarely "Opti" zips can be seen, so the details of the "AERO" zip are very rare.

The fabric is made of "polyester x cotton" blend fabric.
Because there are more polyester blend ratio, it is finished in a crisp and comfortable fabric feeling.

The size notation cannot be confirmed, but I think it corresponds to "L" in Japanese size.

Even if you look at the actual dimension value, it will be a large size, so I think that even a large body can wear it without any problems.

It is a good condition in a good condition that you can see a little over time, but you can not see any noticeable dirt or scratches.
Of course, there is no big damage that has a problem with wearing, so I think it can be worn more.
