At the height of Britpop’s powers in the 1990s, Oasis had grown into fashion icons. Parkas, peacoats, a mix of ‘60s mod looks and ‘90s baggy style made both Gallagher brothers the talk of the style world. One look, in particular, is making a comeback as Penfield re-release the Pac Jac.
The lightweight anorak was previously re-released in 2015 for the brand’s 40th anniversary and is now being reintroduced as part of Penfield’s Icons Collection for Spring/Summer 2024. The jacket was made famous by Noel back in April 1996 when Oasis took to the stage for a homecoming gig. Riding high on two successful albums—Definitely Maybe and What’s The Story (Morning Glory)—the band took to the stage at Man City’s Maine Road home ground for a rainy headline show.
Knebworth was yet to come so these triumphant gigs in front of 80,000 indie-rock fans carried huge emotional weight for the band and the colour-block Pac Jac has been a highly sought-after piece of memorabilia on vintage sites.
You can shop the new Penfiled collection over at the brand’s webstore.
