Anyone own a Barbour Corbridge and watch Gardeners World?

[CopperBolt]

A long shot I know.

But if you do, is the dark green coat Mr Adam Frost is sometimes seen wearing a Corbridge?

Top rear of the jacket by the shoulders there seems to be a sort of vent, I cant see on the barbour site, if the corbridge has that or not.

And also, if you have got one did you have to buy a size up? and where best place to go and try one and purchase?

As I say a long shot but this is pistonheads...


Cheers all.

I have a black one.

The vents you mention aren't vents - just a design thing; flaps of materials. If you fall flat on your face, someone could grab these to pull you up

Definitely go up a size. I'm an L but my Corbridge is an XL.

Don't know where you are in the world but got mine from Coes in Maldon. Have seen them in John Lewis as well.

Had mine for about five years and only now is it needing a bit of TLC. But still holding its shape and comfy. What I quite like about it is that it's keeps you warm but if you're out for the day and the temperature rises, it's not one of those coats where you wished you had something lighter.

The vents/flaps sounds like what I mean then. Many thanks. I am darn saff. Dorset. John Lewis near me doesnt do clothes I dont think. kitchens, TVs, duvets, beds, sofas etc.
Theres a Berties in Wimborne that might have a shot of having them.

Id prefer dark green but not sure they're available in that?

Thanks

Not been there for quite a few years but if Beales are still in business (Poole, I think), pretty certain they'll stock Barbour. Other than that, any 'country store should have them.... the sort of places where you can buy a tractor and combine at the same time!.

Dark green was certainly an option when I got mine.

Order online and return if needed. Can also do click n collect from Waitrose etc.

Cotswolds had some in stock including the style mentioned. Tried an XL but just too tight and they dont do larger sizes in Cotswolds. Ordered a XXL from an online place Smythsoutdoor or summat. Should arrive this week.

Beales in Bournemouth closed down a year or so ago and yes they would have had them.
