What to know | Baracuta Teams Up with WILD THINGS and WACKO MARIA on Reversible Jacket and Leopard Faux Fur Vest

Tokyo brand WACKO MARIA has once again joined forces with British outerwear label Baracuta and outdoor brand WILD THINGS to release a 2026 fall/winter outerwear capsule collection, comprising three items: the Reversible G9 Harrington Jacket, the Happy Vest, and the Leopard Faux Fur Happy Vest, reimagining each partner's signature pieces for the season.

What makes the reversible Harrington jacket special?

Baracuta's classic G9 Harrington Jacket arrives this time with a reversible design: one side is made from a blend of 58% cotton and 42% polyester, offering a soft, traditional feel accented with leopard-print paneling at the collar; the other side switches to 100% polyester, featuring a large-scale leopard print across the surface for a bolder look. Wearers can flip the jacket to switch between the two appearances depending on the occasion. The transformation comes from the dual materials and pattern placement, allowing the wearer to choose between the solid or leopard-print side as desired.

How does WILD THINGS handle the warmth factor?

The Happy Vest is helmed by WILD THINGS, featuring a 100% nylon shell filled with PrimaLoft insulation. Its sleeveless cut keeps the body's core warm while leaving the arms free to move, making it ideal for layering over hoodies or as an inner layer beneath heavier outerwear. This vest comes in black and gray, leaning into a function-forward, practical style.

What sets the leopard faux fur version apart?

The Leopard Faux Fur Happy Vest retains the same PrimaLoft insulation but swaps the shell for 100% polyester faux fur printed with WACKO MARIA's signature leopard pattern. Available in beige and pink, this piece transforms what was originally an outdoor-functional item into a more distinctive, visually striking design option.

When and where can it be purchased?

The Baracuta and WILD THINGS x WACKO MARIA 2026 fall/winter collection will be available through select retailers and WACKO MARIA stores, as well as on the WACKO MARIA official website. Specific pricing and availability for Taiwan have not yet been announced.
