Oasis kicked off their highly anticipated Live ’25 reunion 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 red Meru jacket 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 the Meru jacket in “the exact colorway Liam wore” as part of the Concert Collection, a limited-edition capsule that also features two other iconic pieces from the Berghaus archive. The Meru jacket, which originally launched in 1994, is being made available in “Red/Blue” (Liam’s choice), “Purple/Grey” and “Green/Black”. Berghaus is also resurrecting the Trango jacket, a heavy-duty waterproof jacket from 1986 that it describes as “specialist powerhouse”. The Trango features 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 the 1997 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 full Concert Collection is available now via Berghaus’ website with prices starting at £120 GBP (approx. $162 USD).
