Belstaff

Belstaff have came a long way since their conception in 1924. Created by Eli Belovitch and his son-in-law Harry Grosberg in Staffordshire, Belstaff aimed to produce motorcycle Jackets that could withstand all weathers. After some struggles with the textile crash in the 90’s, Belstaff have managed to go from strength to strength, consistently adapting their original ethos to meet the demands of the modern day man. For Autumn / Winter 2016 Belstaff have taken design cues from endurance riders who threaded their bikes through some of the worlds most uninhabitable areas solely for the challenge it brought. This commanded versatile pieces and it is this versatility that forms much of Belstaff’s Autumn / Winter 2016 collection.

This initial inspiration of Belstaff’s collection has, in the words of CEO Gavin Haig, never been more relevant. Belstaff’s homeland, England, has seen some of the warmest Winters on record and having the versatility to add and remove layers from Belstaff’s collection allows the wearer to feel as warm as they want to be. For example, the introduction of the Kerrigan Knitted Jumper adds needed warmth whereas the Pearce and Phillips Polo Shirts give a more lightweight layer for potential warmer days.

Although Belstaff have adhered to their initial direction, that isn’t to say they’ve forgotten the classics. Belstaff have managed to keep their seasonal classics such as the Racemaster and Roadmaster in the roster, with new colour ways, materials and approaches making them better than ever.

Perhaps a highlight of the collection is the 2016 of the iconic Speedmaster. Based on the iconic Trialmaster, the Speedmaster is updated for 2016 to meet the needs of the modern day man. A streamlined, sleek silhouette that retains Belstaff’s rich biking heritage, the Speedmaster 2016 is a perfect representation of Belstaff’s recent form of catering for the 2016 man but staying true to their rich heritage.

Another successful season for the classic British brand, Belstaff’s Autumn / Winter 2016 is available now in-store and online.
