Late February, 2009 WPDGNEWARK Fashion Department predicted the come back as "big time" for the more than famous Baracuta Jacket/G-9 style. GQ Magazine one of North America's better publications was a little behind with their endorsement offering their backing within the May 2009 issue.

The Golf Jacket
Used to be that a golf jacket was essential gear: something every guy needed in his closet, regardless of his love for the game. It’s getting that way again, now that they can be found at nearly any store and at any price. New versions—by brands like Gant, Lacoste, Banana Republic, and American Apparel—as well as this updated classic, by Baracuta, cut a lean profile and look cool with pretty much everything. Many feature a water-and-wind-resistant shell, and the flipped-up high collar makes you look like a pro, whether you’re on the course or off.
Jacket, by Baracuda, $275. At J.Crew Men’s Shop at the Liquor Store, N.Y.C. www.jcrew.com

I can not think Gant, Lacoste, Banana Republic etc. will be able to promote a good enough knock off to compete and last in style for the next 50 years like Baracuta.
