Have owned the Corbridge for a number of years and wear it every autumn and winter. I usually take between a medium and large and took this in an XL, which fits well.

Just bought this jacket from your review Michael, lovely jacket, thank you very much :-)

2nd Barbour Corbridge here. Always green for me, since when it ages, it looks more like leather with a nice patina. Do not like the old fashiomed big collar from Barbour. Appreciate this mid season jacket which has a tayor fit - yes size up, plenty of pockets - military style, good coverage - from half of bottom to chin, as well as isulation over 0 celsius, since I usually wear cashmere jumper when it gets cold. Love this piece of gear that makes me feel like an adventurer, both in town or in the field.

Do you like this better than the Sapper? Great reviews.

Had mine for nearly 2 yrs. Wax fades every few months. Hard job waxing it. The side pocket lining fell apart within months of wear and there is a rivet(?) inside the pocket on which my finger nail always catched. My arms and torso gets sweaty (waxed or unwaxed) even unzipped which I wonder about as it is a breathable jacket. Zipper is sound as a pound. Collar is stand-up and great. Cuffs have started to fray at the edges.

I just bought a Cobridge in black yesterday and it's the nicest jacket I've ever owned, out of any brand. Hugely impressed with how versatile it is, the slim fit and cut and the heft of it blocks rain and wind exceptionally well.
I would normally wear a men's small in most things, so I had to shift up to a medium. It's snug and close fitting but still have a good range of movement and the wind doesn't get underneath it.
I only had the jacket about 3 hours and someone at work tried to take it from my desk- it was not an "innocent mistake" as they tried to play off, as they never sit near that desk and they don't own a Barbour... So be aware, it is a bit of a coveted and expensive item to own and you shouldn't leave it laying around anywhere or it will probably disappear pretty quickly.

Great video @michaelstewartmenswear2379. Answered many questions for me.
I am between buying Sapper or Corbridge and I would be really happy to hear your opinion. Where I live we barely see minus temperature. Usually winters are no colder than 5 degrees celsius but with really strong wind and some rain. Would Corbridge be warm enough or should I rather go with sapper?
And about sizing, I wear size 34 Bedale and it is a good fit for me. Should I go for Sapper S and Corbridge M? I am 168cm (5 feet 6) and 74kg. Some comments make me think twice about a Corbridge since I have a little bit of a gut.

I usually wear size XS, but after watching your other review of the Duke jacket, I was convinced to buy a size S (smallest size unfortunately) which fits decently. Since you've worn both, how does the Corbridge fit compared to the Duke?

[Laguna]

you have to get so many things right for these jackets to pop. I think the collar on this model does not work. Maybe it would on 007

[joeyandrews]

Is the Corbridge a longer length cut than the Sapper? I know you’re wearing a large here as opposed to the medium Sapper but this one appears longer past the waist.
Or is it an illusion being a slimmer cut? Thanks

[RSN]

What are the differences between this and the sapper?

[alexevers]

🇳🇱Goodmorning thx for the video, i have a Bristol in Size L, hoe it fits to the Corbridge ? Thx 👍

[tswizzleeva]

How would you say the sleeve length is? I’ve struggle for so long to find a jacket that fits nicely on the chest and body as well as having shorter sleeves. I must have weirdly short arms!
Which Barbour style would you recommend?

[marcdee]

I have one that looks like this but it’s not padded and it hasn’t got a hood, the same in every other way. It says retail utility in the pocket but I can’t seem to find it anywhere on line

Hello, I am considering the purchase of a Barbour Corbridge, I own:

- Ashby in XL (fits great)
- Sapper (Tailored) in XL (fits great)
- International Original size 42 (bulky in the belly)
- Liddlesdale in L (fits great in the chest and belly a tad short in the arms)

I wonder if someone can share his experience with the Corbrige. I read somewhere that I should go with the same size as the Ashby.

Thank you. Cheers

What is the color of the jacket on the hanger?

[igorrybas]

its a stylish one, love it, but before I order I have a question: is it wearable while driving a car? or will it give wax to a seat? 🤔

[karimlamatt]

Amazing one, but i think of the duke buying🎉

[johndenton]

I bought a Corbrige just over 3 years ago - live in NSW, Australia; so not a cheap exercise for me. I previously owned a Barbour (8oz cloth) bought in the UK 40 years ago which held up very well. This jacket unfortunately is nowhere near as robust, I've had to repair the stiching around - both - bottom pockets and the cuffs are starting to fray. The breathabilty is bloody awful and unless I re-wax it twice a year, it leaks like a seave. I've been told these jackets are made in eastern Europe and will say that I would not buy another Barbour.

For the sake of an argument I have never heard of Barbour before, why should I buy a Waxed jacket with the Barbour label?
Actually, I have owned a few, including my 2 month old Beaufort, once wet after getting caught in the rain for an hour, its game over while it dry's out for 12 hour .
A friend has a dickies waxed jacket that is 9 years old, today I had a new forest branded waxed jacket delivered, perfect condition and £12 via ebay, its identical to the Bedale, other then the lining .
I struggle to see, why is Barbour so special ?
