Baracuta and Neighborhood, the Japanese streetwear brand, have joined forces to create a capsule collection worth keeping an eye on. The collection includes two of Baracuta’s legendary jackets: the G9 Harrington and the G4, as well as a stylish baseball cap and a crewneck sweatshirt. Representing this capsule, iconic English music producer and DJ Goldie is seen posing in pieces from the collection.
The G9 Harrington Neighborhood x Baracuta jacket is an exceptional piece, made in the UK. It retains traditional details such as the two-button “Dog Ear” collar, ribbed cuffs, and waistband, but for this edition, the classic “umbrella” back yoke has been replaced by an embroidered design that merges the logos of both brands on the back, marking this unique collaboration. The jacket is fully lined with Baracuta’s famous Fraser Tartan, preserving its heritage while adding a modern touch.
The collection also includes the G4 Neighborhood x Baracuta jacket, crafted with the utmost care. This piece represents the perfect fusion of British tailoring and Japanese design. The G4 jacket stands out for its oversized fit, double-buttoned “Dog Ear” collar with custom Baracuta buttons, and embroidered patches on the chest and sleeves, paying clear homage to Neighborhood’s streetwear roots. Quilted for warmth and comfort, the G4 perfectly embodies the blend of tradition and modernity that defines this collaboration.
Among other standout pieces is the Neighborhood x Baracuta “Dad Cap,” handcrafted in Italy. This cap features a classic six-panel design that perfectly complements the contemporary streetwear aesthetic. The Neighborhood x Baracuta logo is prominently displayed on the front, while the interior is lined with Fraser Tartan, adding a touch of tradition to the modern look. Rounding out the collection is the long-sleeve Neighborhood x Baracuta sweatshirt, also made in Italy. This piece features a classic design with a crew neck and oversized fit, fully embracing contemporary street style. The logos of Baracuta and Neighborhood are printed on the front of the sweatshirt, symbolizing the union of these two iconic brands.
The Neighborhood x Baracuta capsule collection blends tradition and modernity, successfully merging British heritage with Japanese urban spirit, resulting in pieces that stand out for their quality, design, and personality. The collection will be available starting September 14, 2024, at selected retailers and online, including baracuta.com, neighborhood.jp, the Baracuta Store in Milan, WP Stores in Bologna and Florence, Neighborhood Stores, and other select retailers.
