BROOKS BARBICAN LEATHER SHOULDER BAG (BLACK)

The Leather Barbican is manufactured in England using the same hardwearing leather used for Brooks Saddles. The Barbican was first developed and is still available in cotton with leather details. Both versions of the bag feature an adjustable shoulder strap that can be easily secured around the waist. The strap can be worn loose to carry the bag over the shoulder while walking. Then, for increased comfort while riding, the two ends of the strap can be pulled together around the waist and fixed as a "Sam Browne" belt.
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 Browne fixing. Water Resistant Cotton Fabric and Vegetable Tanned Leather from Europe.
