N.Hoolywood and Baracuta Reimagine British Heritage in New Capsule Collection

A highly anticipated collaboration is set to launch on October 4th, as Tokyo-based fashion house N.Hoolywood and iconic British outerwear brand Baracuta unveil their inaugural capsule collection. Titled ‘A Refined Take on British Heritage’, this exclusive collection is poised to redefine two of Baracuta’s most celebrated silhouettes. The partnership sees N.Hoolywood Compile apply its distinctive minimalist and detail-oriented aesthetic to Baracuta's classic designs, creating a fresh interpretation that honors tradition while embracing contemporary sensibilities.

At the core of N.Hoolywood Compile’s approach is designer Daisuke Obana’s philosophical framework of deconstruction and reassembly. This method is employed to generate new value and continues the line's ongoing exploration of contemporary formalwear. The inspiration for this particular season’s collection stems directly from Obana’s recent travels to the UK, where his immersion in classic British tailoring and a deep dive into vintage garments provided the catalyst for a modern, innovative take on time-honored styles. This journey of discovery perfectly informs the collection’s ethos.

This forward-thinking vision harmonizes impeccably with Baracuta’s storied legacy. Founded in Manchester, the brand has steadfastly maintained its 'Made in the UK' commitment, a principle most famously embodied in the creation of the original Harrington Jacket – a true icon of British style. The collaborative effort thus elegantly bridges two distinct design philosophies: Baracuta’s established craftsmanship, synonymous with enduring quality, meets N.Hoolywood’s refined, understated, and detail-driven sensibility, resulting in a cohesive and innovative collection.

A standout piece within the collection is a thoughtfully reimagined, reversible version of Baracuta’s renowned G9 jacket. Originally engineered with golfers in mind, the G9 is celebrated for its exceptional windproof and waterproof characteristics. This reinvented silhouette seamlessly blends the jacket’s inherent functionality with an elevated design aesthetic, offering versatility and style in equal measure. This iconic piece will be available for purchase at €410 (approximately £357).

Further enriching the capsule collection is an entirely original shirt design. Priced at €245 (approximately £213), this unique garment is meticulously crafted from Baracuta’s distinctive check fabric. It features subtle yet sophisticated detailing, drawing inspiration from the timeless elements of the G4 jacket, adding another layer of heritage and refinement to this highly anticipated collaboration.
