British outdoor icon Berghaus has officially relaunched one of its most famous pieces—the Meru jacket—as part of a newly minted “Concert Collection,” tapping into the nostalgic legacy of 1990s Britpop and abundant street style.
First introduced in 1994, the Meru jacket rose to cultural notoriety when Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher famously wore it during a 1997 concert in Oslo. That moment cemented the piece as an emblem of Britpop fashion and working-class swagger.
In 2025, Berghaus has revived it—complete with the original red-and-blue colorway, upgraded with modern Gore-Tex fabric and technical elements like stowable hood, adjustable cords, and reinforced cuffs. Available in additional palettes such as purple/grey and green/black, the jacket now features prominently in the brand’s limited Concert Collection.
A Capsule Curated for Festivals—and Beyond
The Concert Collection doesn’t stop with the Meru. It expands into other heritage pieces, such as:
- Trango Jacket: Originally launched in 1986 for mountaineering use, now reintroduced with triple-layer Gore-Tex and bold colorways like red/blue, red/grey, and grey/dark blue.
- 1997 Fleece: A boxy-cut midlayer blending functional design with retro flair, offered in vibrant combos including red/blue, red/grey, and green/grey.
Prices for the collection begin around £120 GBP, reaffirming Berghaus’s commitment to accessible, street-ready outerwear with cultural significance.
TL;DR
Berghaus’s Meru jacket relaunch is more than a nostalgic nod; it’s a stylish convergence of outdoor utility, musical history, and street culture. Available now as part of the exclusive Concert Collection, it’s the perfect blend of iconic design and modern performance—ready for the next festival season or everyday urban life.
