Want: Baracuta G4

This is one of those items that have sparked a desire deep within and rather than falling by the wayside as the blog posts pile up, it has grown stronger. Baracuta's G9 definitely receives most of the attention from the family. Recently we saw Junya pull the G4 from it's stepchild position into the spotlight. However its the khaki colored slim cut G4 that has my attention. The jacket currently comes in two colors I'd like to own, navy blue and the lighter tan, both come in the tradition Teflon fabric with the original Fraser Tartan lining. Although these look great and I would be happy with either, I really want this jacket in a slightly softer, more natural cotton. A mid-weight khaki cotton twill with either the Fraser Tartan or perhaps a Blackwatch plaid would really put the touches on my perfect casual short jacket. We'll see what we can do about that, but until then you're probably best off ordering from the website. Other features include side adjusters, adjustable cuffs, 2 front button pockets all for £160.

I am personally against those snap closures that cinch around the wrists. I cannot quite put my finger on it, but they just do not look right to me. Also, the really plain hem at the bottom of the jacket looks half-thought out. The collar is great though.

The plain hem at the bottom makes it imo.

Such a close 2nd to the G9 for me. I agree with your fabric wishes, that'd be great to see.

I have the G9 and it's great, but I would love to be able to play with more layers, which the G4 allows with it's nice cut through the bottom. I think I would personally find it more wearable.
