Berghaus Has Relaunched 'That' Jacket – the One Made Famous by Liam Gallagher
Oasiskicked off their highly anticipatedLive '25reunion tour earlier this month, 16 years after the Gallagher brothers' public falling-out that led to the band's split. The Britpop band's impact on British culture in the 1990s can't be overstated – they helped define a generation, not just through their music, but with their style, too. From bucket hats to Burberry check and fishtail parkas to buttoned-up polo shirts, Oasis' look became the Britpop uniform: a blend of classic mod style, sartorialized football terraces and Manchester-born attitude that immortalized a moment in British music that reverberated far beyond the UK.
Through it all,Berghaus– the British outerwear brand with a German-sounding name – was right there in the mix. In 1997, at an Oasis show in Oslo, Liam Gallagher appeared on-stage wearing a redMerujacket by Berghaus. Liam, the younger Gallagher brother, was already known for having a penchant for long parkas and statement outerwear, but his choice that night – captured in a now-iconic photograph – catapulted the brand into the consciousness of both Oasis fans and the fashion-obsessed.
Now, Berghaus is marking the moment by rereleasing theMerujacket in 'the exact colorway Liam wore' as part of theConcert Collection, a limited-edition capsule that also features two other iconic pieces from the Berghaus archive. TheMerujacket, which originally launched in 1994, is being made available in 'Red/Blue' (Liam's choice), 'Purple/Grey' and 'Green/Black'. Berghaus is also resurrecting theTrangojacket, a heavy-duty waterproof jacket from 1986 that it describes as 'specialist powerhouse'. TheTrangofeatures a triple layer of GORE-TEX for maximum protection from wind and water, and comes in choices of 'Red/Blue', 'Red/Grey' and 'Grey/Dark Blue'. Alongside the jackets, the brand is launching the1997 Fleece– a new piece in its range, even if its name suggests otherwise – that it calls a 'staple [with] the DNA of an icon'. The fleece features a boxy cut for elevated coziness, with colors available including 'Red/Blue', 'Red/Grey' and 'Green/Grey'.
The fullConcert Collectionis available now via Berghaus'websitewith prices starting at £120 GBP (approx. $162 USD).
