Rule The Road (or pavement) with Belstaff

Designed to protect you against the winter elements, Belstaff jackets feature a number of key details designed for durability and warmth. Launched in 1924 the British brand has become known for its high performance and waterproof outerwear, with the classic waxed jacket becoming a style staple for any man’s wardrobe. This season’s Belstaff comes complete with subtle updates for a timeless finish.

Roadmaster Jacket in Rosewood Purple

The Roadmaster Jacket is one of Belstaff’s most iconic silhouettes and is back for autumn winter 16 in a new rosewood purple colourway. Featuring the same premium waxed cotton outer, checked lining, and button closure as it’s predecessors, the Roadmaster is a subtle yet welcome update to the every day classic.

Speedmaster Jacket in Black

Constructed using an extremely soft lambskin leather, the Speedmaster Jacket pays homage to the original Trialmaster but modernises it in a streamlined silhouette. With a variety of front press stud fastened pockets and an adjustable belt and collar, the Speedmaster is a truly practical piece.

Trialmaster Jacket in Blue

The Trialmaster has earned its place as a part of Belstaff’s legacy, with a regular fit silhouette. The jacket is usually crafted from waxed cotton, however this season the brand have replaced the usual material with a water-repellent poly outer for functionality. Other features include a two-way zip fastening with an added popper placket for security and an internal drawstring to the waist. Four pockets are featured to the front, with signature Belstaff branding to the sleeve on a leather patch for a luxe finish.

Trialmaster 2015 Jacket in Dusty Brown

Typically presented in a waxed outer, Belstaff have produced the signature Trialmaster Jacket with a water repellant poly material that adds lightness to the coat. Press stud fasten pockets, reinforced elbows and an adjustable collar add renowned practicality to the Trialmaster. With the embroidered Belstaff branding to the sleeve adding an iconic touch.

Belstaff Autumn / Winter 2016 Available Now

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.
