The clothing brand Belstaff was founded in 1924 by Eli Belovitch and Harry Grosberg in Staffordshire and was named Belstaff as a combination of Eli’s surname and for Staffordshire where the clothing company first began. Belstaff went on to become a brand synonymous with quality, making some of the most hard-wearing and reliable jackets and garments you could buy on the market both then and indeed now. One such jacket being their definitive Trialmaster Jacket.  

The Trialmaster was designed in 1948 and was made to be able to deal with the harsh conditions of the Scottish 6 Day Trial, the oldest internationally recognised motorcycle trials compotation in the world. As the event took place in notoriously rainy Scotland and seeing as wind and cold temperatures would be unavoidable due to riding motorcycles out in the open, the Trialmaster had to be able to shrug off the elements.  

Belstaff’s Trialmaster Jacket is therefore made from a 6 oz. waxed cotton and lined with signature Belstaff check cotton twill, the main fastening of the jacket is a metal zip covered by a snap fastening storm flap and the Trialmaster also features a buckle fastening for the collar and an adjustable belt to suit the wearers desired fit. Details also include an inside pocket and four outer pockets including one angled map pocket.  

Designed for gruelling conditions and built to last, the Trialmaster does exactly what Belstaff designed it for and is just as good now as it was way back when. Shop the Belstaff Trialmaster In-Store and Online at Aphrodite Clothing.
