What's the deal with the EG x Baracuta G9?... Honestly can't see much of a difference to the standard model, other than the inside EG Tag and the higher price, haha..?!

I wonder as well!

Wider fit
Different lining
Pocket design
And the only thing that is a good reason for the higher price : EG tag

Thanks Farood, appreciate it. I think i'd go with the standard Baracuta jacket if I had to choose.

Btw is there a EG FW18 thread yet? Can't seem to find one..

I like Harrington jackets generally. The classic Baracuta G9 is iconic, but a little too conservative for me. Many designers have done Harringtons over the years and it is always interesting to see the twists and details they add to the classic style. I would have thought EG would have done something interesting with mixing textiles or adding multiple, superfluous pockets in addition to exaggerating the silhouette.

I'm a 10 on Vans regular slip ons, should I go for a 9.5 for the EG ones, not depending on the season they come from?

I think 2018 eg Vans you would want to go with a 10. Any previous season would be 9.5.
