Ideal for colder days, it’s made from Barbour’s durable 6oz Sylkoil waxed cotton, offering reliable protection against the elements. Inside, a quilted yet lightweight nylon lining provides extra warmth without adding bulk. The cosy corduroy-lined collar conceals a nylon hood with adjustable toggles, ready to shield against rain when needed and neatly tucked away when not in use.

Other features of the Corbridge include adjustable cuffs, a sturdy two-way zip, a storm fly front with stud closures, and an action back for flexibility. Four large pockets add both practicality and signature style, keeping essentials secure while leaving hands free.

First introduced in 1936, the Barbour International Original Wax quickly became the go-to jacket for motorcyclists throughout the following decades.

Classic biker details remain at the heart of its design, including a throat strap, adjustable cuffs, and a waist belt for a secure fit. The traditional four-pocket layout includes the signature angled map pocket—a hallmark of the jacket’s authenticity.
