I've always been a fan of the Baracuta G4 jacket. It's one of those classic essentials that you can't do without. And it's suitable for every age. Akira Tamaki isn't just a fan, he's an expert collector. In the above video, Tamaki takes us through his collection and details what it takes to make an icon that can stand up to the vintage value of even the Levi's 501.
For those who are looking to meet the man himself, Akira Tamaki used to run a shop in Ueno's Ameyokocho called Ru-fu, but has since moved to Sangenjaya as Select Store Septis.
Hello, is there a way to contact Akira Tamaki or his store in Japan? I currently have a rare Baracuta piece that I would like to show him.
