Baracuta sale – big discounts
We missed this one starting, but no worries – there's still plenty of stock in the Baracuta sale, as well as big discounts.
Pretty much everything is in the sale, including recent additions like the G34 Mod Monkey jacket we featured a couple of months back (down from £135 to £67). The bulk of discounts are in the clothing (which often have mixed reactions), but there's a lot of what it always does best marked down – classic Harrington jackets.
If you go for more 'leftfield' design, the discounts are huge. The slim-fit G4 'made in England' jacket above in a check is down from £169 to £49 for example. See this and everything else in the range on the site.
