Belstaff FAQs
What is the history of Belstaff?
Founded in 1924 in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent by Eli Belovitch and Harry Grosberg, Belstaff pioneered waxed cotton for waterproof jackets. The brand’s motorcycle heritage shaped icons like the Trialmaster, later popular with Steve McQueen. After a period of Italian production (2004–2017), Belstaff returned to British ownership under INEOS in 2017. Today the range spans Belstaff jackets, clothing and accessories.
Are Belstaff products good quality?
Belstaff jackets and clothing use premium materials such as waxed cotton, leather and technical fabrics for durability and weather resistance. Jackets feature reinforced stitching and functional design, while everyday clothing offers comfort and longevity. The quality reflects the brand’s heritage and engineering background.
Why is Belstaff so popular?
Belstaff jackets are known for heritage craftsmanship and practical styling. Since 1924 the brand has appealed to riders, explorers and film icons with durable, weather-ready waxed jackets and leather motorcycle styles. Modern pieces balance protection with a clean, versatile look.
Who is Belstaff’s target market?
Belstaff serves motorcycling enthusiasts, outdoor users and style-conscious customers who value function and longevity. Fieldmaster and Racemaster jackets suit commuting and weekend use, while T-shirts and overshirts cover daily wear. The collection is popular in the UK and internationally.
What is the most iconic Belstaff jacket?
The Trialmaster, launched in 1948 for the Scottish Six Days Trial, is the most iconic Belstaff jacket. It features four pockets, an adjustable belt and a waxed cotton finish, combining protection with a distinctive look.
What materials are used in Belstaff jackets?
Belstaff jackets are made from waxed cotton, leather and technical shells. Fieldmaster and Racemaster typically use waxed cotton for water-repellent performance, while styles like the V Racer use premium leather. Technical shells offer lightweight protection for changeable conditions.
Are Belstaff jackets waterproof or water-resistant?
Most Belstaff waxed jackets are water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. Regular re-proofing maintains performance. Leather jackets resist light rain, and selected technical shells offer higher weather protection.
How do I care for a Belstaff waxed jacket?
Brush off dirt, sponge clean with cold water and allow to dry naturally. Re-proof with a suitable wax dressing when the fabric looks dry or after heavy use. Do not machine wash, dry clean or tumble dry, as this removes the wax finish.
