Japanese fashion label Needles works in collaboration with Baracuta to design its own perspective of the G9 jacket silhouette for the season. The duo launches deep into Baracuta's archival designs and takes the iconic G9 by giving it a thick corduroy makeover.
It is then detailed with a rich paisley print offered then in five different colorways. The brand marks the style with a two-button detail at the collar and finishes it with the iconic umbrella back yoke. All of the different colorways are intricately detailed and vibrant. Looking from afar, one can see the contrasting hues and rich overlap of the carefully applied hues. It is cuffed at the sleeves for the bottom of the design.
