Baracuta, Death Row Records, and WACKO MARIA Drop SS26 Harrington Capsule

Three brands with nothing obvious in common have made something that makes complete sense. Baracuta, the British outerwear house behind the G9 Harrington jacket, has linked with legendary Los Angeles hip-hop label Death Row Records and Tokyo-based imprint WACKO MARIA on a Spring/Summer 2026 capsule that filters classic English tailoring through the rugged weight of West Coast rap history.

The G9 Harrington leads the collection in two variations. The standard finish preserves the jacket's clean heritage silhouette; the second iteration wraps it in leopard print, a direct nod to WACKO MARIA's signature animal-patterned aesthetic. On paper, a 1950s English blouson in leopard print sounds like a contradiction. Worn with the rest of this capsule, it reads as the whole point.

The fleece lineup is where Death Row Records' branding takes center stage. The co-branded Death Row Records Heavy Weight Zip Hooded Sweat Shirt anchors a trio of tops that also includes a Heavy Weight Hooded Sweat Shirt and a Heavy Weight Sweat Shirt, all cut in relaxed, premium-weight constructions that deliberately reference the golden era of 90s hip-hop. Heavy Weight Sweat Pants complete the set, designed to function as a full uniform rather than separates.

The geographic spread of this collaboration is itself part of the story: Manchester's most enduring outerwear silhouette, a label whose Compton origins are inseparable from American cultural history, and a Japanese house known for translating both with genuine conviction. WACKO MARIA's cultural lens is what keeps the capsule from feeling like a licensing exercise.

The collection drops March 14 exclusively via the WACKO MARIA webstore. Pricing has not been announced. Given WACKO MARIA's typical positioning, the fleece pieces will likely sit at a premium relative to standard streetwear basics, though the G9 in leopard print is the piece this drop will be remembered for.
