Next's Mid Blue Denim Cord Collar Denim Barn Jacket, priced at £58, has caught the attention of shoppers who praise its 'retro 80s oversized vibe'. The jacket combines a classic mid-blue denim finish with a contrasting brown corduroy collar, giving the traditional denim jacket a more distinctive look. Its barn-jacket shape also provides a relaxed feel, making it an easy layer to throw over everything from T-shirts to dresses.
Shopper reviews highlight design and fit
The jacket has currently three reviews from satisfied shoppers praising its design. One wrote: "New favourite casual jacket, can also fit a lightweight hoodie under it. It’s a super jacket, and it’s got that retro 80s oversized vibe - fabulous."
The shopper added: "If I were being super picky, I feel the tall size could have been an inch longer on the sleeves."
A second shopper commented: "A useful mid-season denim jacket, but, disappointingly, it is unlined. I got a 12 Tall (I am 5’9”), and it is roomy, which I like, but the drop shoulders may not be to everyone’s taste."
A third pleased shopper said: "Love it, it’s different, love the brown colour and cuffs, and the lovely small belt on the back. It fits perfect."
Practical features and size availability
Made from 100% cotton, the jacket is machine washable, making it a practical addition to an everyday wardrobe. It has a button-through front and long sleeves, while the denim-and-cord combination gives it a vintage-inspired finish. The jacket features a belt at the back for a more flattering fit.
It is available in a broad range of sizes, with XS Regular through to 2XL Regular, while the Tall option runs from S Tall through to 2XL Tall.
