Product Description
Brooks Saddles Barbican Messenger Bag is the ideal shoulder bag while riding a bike. In 1910 John Boultbee and his son Wilfred Mason Brooks filed two patents related to improvements in satchels, knapsacks and the like. Both these patents guaranteed more equal distribution of the load over the straps and more stability of the bag whilst cycling. With this in mind we developed our new Barbican Shoulder Bag, featuring a shoulder belt which can be easily secured around the waist during the ride. The belt is the innovative part of this bag. Once adjusted to the desired length, depending on the height and waist of the cyclist, the belt can be kept loose to carry the bag over or across the shoulder while walking. For increased stability during the ride, the belt can be easily fastened around the waist simply pulling the two ends of the belt and locking them at the center with the “Sam Brown” fixing. The moss canvas bag is made from water resistant cotton fabric and vegetable tanned antique brown leather.

"that's a liberal art's professor's bag",
By
This review is from: Brooks Saddles Barbican Messenger Bag (Sports)
Some things to think about.1. It doesn't look as elegant/professional in real life as in the pictures. 2. Brook's photographers are very good. 3. I trust it's construction much more than a north face backpack, but slightly less than a proper timbuk2 bag. 4. my roommate took one look at it and said "that's a liberal art's professor's bag" 5. that's okay becuase it can carry a semester's worth of text books every day and manage to look only better after a year. 6. which is what you really need it for.

Nice looking but a bit heavy,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Brooks Saddles Barbican Messenger Bag (Sports)
After a lot of research and prolonged decision, I finally bought this Brooks Barbican bag from Amazon.com. The bag looks very nice. The leather shoulder strap is quite stiff but really add coolness to the bag. Somehow the real bag is more of Khaki colour not very white like shown on official Brooks England website. The image on Amazon.com is even more misleading because it shows the white leather version, which is a rare model (and much more expensive).The canvas bag is made in China according to Brooks England website but it does not matter as the built quality is excellent. My only small complaint is that the bag is quite heavy (1.5 kg.) but given the leather, thick fabric straps and thick canvas justify the weight. One strange thing is the size. I was suspecious when I received the bag because I ordered the medium size. The bag looks like a large size. So I made the measurement. It has 42 cm. wide and 30 cm. tall. From official Brooks England website: the medium is 34 cm. wide and 30 cm. tall. the large one is 43 cm. wide and 33 cm. tall. So mine looks like a hybrid model.I can't return it because I am in Thailand now and it's gonna be tricky to exchange for a new one. 2115|R1ZS1MQR7QKNO5;2115|R23YB9CISAL3ZQ;
