Belstaff have been going since 1924 creating innovative wax coated jackets for British motorcyclists. As always though, the stylish jackets filtered into the mainstream, with fans of the brand obsessively collecting 'Trialmasters', 'Roadmasters', 'Trophies' and even 'Panthers' (jacket model names) and trading them like fine wine and stolen diamonds across the globe. Taken over by an Italian fashion firm in the 90s, the Italians have continued to uphold the values of the Belstaff brand, still imparting that lasting quality the jackets loyally bring to their owners. Over the years everyone from Steve McQueen to Che Guevara have worn them.
If you've seen a Hollywood action film recently, you've seen the leading actor wear Belstaff. Seriously, it would be more difficult to name an action film wear the hero
hasn't worn the brand - at the last count we have Will Smith in 'I AM LEGEND', John Connor in 'Terminator Salvation'... even
BATMAN wears Belstaff! How can you not want one?
The Belstaff 554 and 556 bags are particularly sought after in the 'Mountain Brown' colour since featuring in I AM LEGEND and the latest Batman films with Belstaff releasing only small batches of them at a time. They are even more difficult to get hold of online, and our experience is that Belstaff puts the price of them up each season. Fortunately, we have managed to get hold of a few of these bad boys though, so fear not, the search is over!
*NOTE Production of Belstaff seems to be very unpredictable, or 'periodic' shall we say, with limited stock in certain sizes so if there is a particular item that you want and it is in your size, you are strongly encouraged to buy it immediately rather than wait and see it sell out.
