Is there any cheaper alternative with red tartan to the real deal Baracuta G9? The G9 is super expensive at J Crew and it's hard to find in the US. Thanks!

Wait for a J Crew sale. They almost always have them at some point.

Does anyone have experience with the Harrington Jacket made by Merc London? Would you recommend it?

I've had a Merc harrington before. For the price they do the job, they are also, I find, cut wider than the current batch of Baracuta G9s.

I've had one for about a year. I love it. The Baracuta is probably a bit better but not anything that would justify the price. I regard myself as fairly fussy :)

Hi,

I have had a Merc Harrington before and has lasted very well and was well worth the money, i prefer them to the Baracuta, that's just my opinion, hope this helps.

I noticed there are a lot of unbranded harrington Baracuta G9 lookalikes on eBay for around $30 a pop. Does anyone have experience with these?
