The coolest gift for HIM that you can actually afford.

Today's lesson is fashion (for him).  We all know, the world is full of fashion icons, for her.  From Chanel bags to Louboutin boots, if he has been paying attention even slightly, any man worth his salt already knows what you want.  In film and television, iconic images abound.  Marilyn’s white halter dress in the Seven Year Itch, Ursula Andress bikini in Dr. NO, or Carrie Bradshaw's Manolos.  If that wasn't enough, every year the media patrol the red carpets, giving us even more first hand accounts of what the beautiful people are wearing, but still it is mostly all about the ladies.

What if there was a fashion statement just as cool for HIM?  And even better, what if you could afford it?  

There is.  You just didn't know it.

They say it is the thought that counts, and when birthdays or the holidays roll around, I know that many of my female friends put a lot of time and effort into choosing a gift for their man, and I also know that it’s not easy to find something with that WOW factor (that he will actually enjoy).  

After all, he is good to you.    You want to return the favour, but you're not in a position to buy him a muscle car or .  I get it.  What should you do?

Don't worry.  I've got you.  The coolest thing you are ever going to find (for less than $500), is an iconic little jacket, called the Baracuta G9 Harrington.  It has been worn by everyone from Sammy Davis to Superman.

Seriously.  How's this for a list: Elvis, James Bond, Bradley Cooper, Frank Sinatra, Steve Mcqueen, Jason Statham, Paul Newman, James Dean, Damian Lewis, and thats just for starters.    

There is a reason that so many leading men have worn, and continue to wear this must have jacket.  Designed in 1937, it hasn't changed a stitch.  Still made in England, this beautiful jacket is available in fine menswear shops for only about $400.  But don't take my word for it.  The virtues of the Baracuta have been praised in publications like GQ as the jacket for people who know.

Available in 11 colours, the Baracuta G9 is perfect for day or night.  He can wear it to work, play a game of golf in it, drive his sports car, or take you out for dinner at that new little place everyone is raving about. 

 

Maybe that is why the versatile G9 is still going strong after nearly 80 years.  The pictures say a thousand words.

Take this one, from the Hangover (part 2)…it's the coolest of the four guys (Bradley Cooper) who is the one wearing the Baracuta.  You saw the movie, but did you notice it?  Probably not.  That's how the Baracuta rolls, always understated.  The people who know, just know, but I will bet you he kept the jacket.  A guy only needs to try one on, and he understands.

A young Paul Newman got it (on his motorcycle).  So did Steve Mcqueen (with his Jag). When Canadian rocker Chris Crippin got his, I saw it, because I was there when he tried it on for the first time.  He didn't want to take it off.  

There is a reason they all chose the Baracuta, and as soon as you're man slides into his, he will know why.  After that, he will wear it every day.

Let's face it.  If there was a ladies jacket this famous, you would probably already have it in at least 3 different colours. 

He will look great in it, and YOU will get credit for it. 

When he is blown away by the beyond super cool, super thoughtful gift that you found for him, it only make sense that he should want to step up to the plate the next time he has to get something of for you?  Damn straight!

Obviously, only something iconic, like a Birkin bag would be the perfect choice on your arm (next to his iconic Baracuta).

Why not?  It could happen.  A girl has to have dreams.  Now all you have to do is choose the colour,  and you're welcome.  www.baracuta.com
