Japanese streetwear label COOTIE PRODUCTIONS has joined forces with legendary English outerwear brand Baracuta to present a capsule collection that bridges heritage craftsmanship with urban modernity.
At the center of the release is the iconic G9 Harrington jacket, a piece long associated with British subcultures from Mods to Britpop. For this collaboration, COOTIE PRODUCTIONS reimagines the classic silhouette with a wide-cut shape, introducing a contemporary update while keeping the jacket’s DNA intact. The interior maintains Baracuta’s instantly recognizable Fraser tartan lining, but this time it appears in a monochrome palette, giving the design a fresh yet understated twist.
The capsule does not stop at outerwear. It also includes two-tuck trousers and button-down shirts designed in COOTIE PRODUCTIONS’ tailoring fit. These garments highlight the label’s approach to proportion, infusing streetwear sensibility into pieces inspired by British tailoring. The result is a wardrobe that moves effortlessly between formal and casual, echoing the fluid style codes embraced by today’s global fashion community.
This partnership reflects a growing dialogue between Japanese streetwear and British heritage brands. While COOTIE PRODUCTIONS is known for its reinterpretation of workwear, biker culture, and Americana through a Tokyo lens, Baracuta has long stood as a symbol of Manchester-born outerwear excellence, worn over the decades by cultural icons such as Steve McQueen, Elvis Presley, and Liam Gallagher. The collaboration bridges these legacies, appealing to both loyal fans of Baracuta and younger audiences drawn to COOTIE’s contemporary edge.
The Baracuta x COOTIE PRODUCTIONS capsule officially launches on September 13, 2025, debuting first at COOTIE PRODUCTIONS’ flagship store in Tokyo and the label’s official online shop. Following this release, the collection will expand to select authorized retailers across Japan. Given the cross-cultural significance of the collaboration, international interest is also expected, with collectors and fashion enthusiasts watching closely for possible global availability.
This release underscores how fashion collaborations continue to push boundaries, blending history with new perspectives. By combining the precision of British tailoring with the expressive proportions of Japanese streetwear, Baracuta and COOTIE PRODUCTIONS deliver a capsule that is both timeless and forward-looking.
