Liam Gallagher, the iconic frontman of Oasis, has teamed up with Berghaus to unveil the reissued Trango jacket—a true legend in outerwear. Originally engineered in Newcastle in 1986, the Trango quickly became one of the most recognisable jackets of its time, renowned for its durability and signature block-colour design. Initially designed for mountain expeditions, the jacket was soon adopted as the uniform for Mountain Rescue Teams, before finding a broader audience among fashion-forward music fans in the 90s.

The Trango became a staple of Gallagher’s wardrobe, both on and off the stage, embodying the rebellious spirit of the 90s Britpop scene. Its influence stretched beyond music, making it a beloved piece among various subcultures of the era. Now, nearly 40 years later, the 2024 reissue aims to blend its iconic past with modern innovations.

The new version of the Trango jacket retains its classic block-color design while integrating updated technology, including a three-layer GORE-TEX ePe sustainable waterproofing. It also features adjustable chords on the hood, collar, waistband, and hem, ensuring a contemporary fit with maximum weather resistance. Each colorway pays tribute to the original versions, staying true to its heritage while meeting the demands of today’s outdoor and style enthusiasts.

In addition to its connection with music, the Berghaus Trango jacket also became a key piece in football terrace fashion during the late 80s and 90s. Terrace culture, which emerged among football supporters in the UK, was all about style, identity, and a sense of belonging. Fans would adopt premium outdoor brands like Berghaus to showcase a distinctive look that set them apart. The durable, weatherproof design of the Trango made it perfect for enduring long matches in unpredictable British weather, while its bold colourways and utilitarian aesthetic resonated with the casual culture of football terraces. This crossover into terrace fashion solidified Berghaus’s place not only as a brand for outdoor adventurers but also as a staple of urban street style, cementing its legacy in British culture.

Liam Gallagher’s endorsement of the Trango jacket reinforces its status as more than just outerwear—it’s a cultural symbol. For Gallagher and his fans, the Trango isn’t just a jacket; it’s a piece of music history woven into the fabric of British fashion. As the 2024 edition hits the shelves, it promises to be as timeless and influential as its original iteration from 1986.
