From my experience with owning four G9s, if it is a borderline fit, it's better to size up because they can shrink slightly in the wash. Just to add, It is incorrect that James Dean is wearing a red Baracuta g9, he is wearing a very similar style Mcgregor drizzler jacket.
I believe the vintage ones (Steve McQueen era) were looser fit, since that was the style of the time. The newer ones are supposed to fit a bit tighter to the body, so yours looks perfect in that regard.
Hi, I'm 177cm and 78kgs, i picked a size 40 (the newer fit) yesterday in Baracuta Milan store. 42 fits a little awkward as it has longer sleeve and torso, i feel like these jackets are meant to sit just above your trousers pockets.
@@TimeandTalk I take 40 in a Barber Beaufort so I think I will go for a 40 in the G9, just got to decide which fit i want. I really like their suede options. Yours fit looks spot on, perfect spring/summer jacket!
@@kenneth2118 thanks! Yeah like the suede ones too and would like a suede jacket but not the most practical option when all it does in the UK is rain! 😂

Ok cool, thanks for the info and the comment! 😃
They are amazing jackets but I’m not sure at £300 they are worth that much. Size 40 was the perfect fit for you. Are they naturally slim fit?
Yes I think so. I think there are two different fits. Some seem to wear them baggier though, so perhaps they size up.
Looks nice but I think I prefer the old fuller cut. The modern G9s are too slim for my taste.
I agree!
You got the right size I think

Thanks!
What size would you recommend for 5'8 160lbs slim build .?? Im thinking size 38 in the newer slim fit style
It’s difficult to say and I would recommend trying on. As you can see from the vid they do fit small.

I am 5'10 und 195 lbs, I wear a 42. It's a slim fit.
I'm torn between those 2 exact sizes myself. I'm 5'7 165lbs athletic build. i think i'll get the 40 as well.
Hope it helped.
