There’s timing, and then there’s timing.
As Oasis gear up for their hotly anticipated “Live '25” reunion tour, Berghaus has cheekily relaunched one of the most iconic pieces of 90s Britpop fashion: the Meru Mountain Jacket, the very one Liam Gallagher swaggered onstage in during Oasis' 1997 world tour.
Designed for scaling mountains, not headlining them, the Meru was already a tech-forward waterproof jacket when it hit the market in 1994.
But when Liam stepped onto the Oslo Spektrum stage, wearing the red-and-blue Meru under the glare of the spotlight, he accidentally cemented Berghaus into UK music folklore.
It’s a look that’s still imitated to this day.
Fast-forward to 2025: Berghaus is tapping into that raw nostalgia, reissuing the exact colourway worn by Liam, with its bold red with blue panels, alongside fresh takes in purple/grey and green/black.
Part of the brand’s new Concert Collection, the Meru returns with modernised materials and refined construction, but the same brash, unmistakable attitude.
The price? £290, a fair price for a slice of music and style history.
It doesn’t stop there. Berghaus is also resurrecting the Trango Jacket (£400), another 90s terrace favourite known for its pioneering GORE-TEX build and colour-blocking, plus the all-new 1997 Fleece (£120), a boxy, everyday fleece jacket rooted in vintage Berghaus DNA.
With Oasis fever at a boiling point and the first reunion shows kicking off this summer, the release couldn’t be more perfectly pitched. Nostalgia has never looked this good (or been this waterproof).
