FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket is treated for wind and water resistance, making it suitable for light showers and damp conditions, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy, prolonged rain.

How should I choose my size?

The Racemaster is a regular fit. If you plan to layer heavily underneath, consider your standard size, but if you prefer a slimmer look, you may want to consult the size guide provided by Belstaff.

Can I wash this in a washing machine?

No, machine washing can permanently damage the water-resistant coating and the structure of the cotton. Only spot clean with a damp cloth.

What is the difference between the Racemaster and the Trialmaster?

The Racemaster is a shorter, more compact version of the iconic Trialmaster, designed specifically for greater mobility and everyday wear.

Does the colour fade over time?

Like many natural cotton garments, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause slight fading. Storing the jacket away from light will help preserve the colour.

What is the purpose of the throat latch?

The buckled throat latch allows you to pull the collar tight against your neck to provide extra protection against wind and cold drafts.

Troubleshooting

Stiff zipper mechanism

Apply a small amount of clear beeswax or a graphite pencil to the zipper teeth to improve glide.

Surface dirt accumulation

Use a soft-bristled garment brush to gently remove dust or dried mud from the cotton fibers.

Loss of water repellency

Consult the brand for recommended rewaxing or re-treating agents specifically designed for Belstaff cotton garments.

  • Requires specialized cleaning to maintain weather-resistant coating

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Racemaster jacket, avoid machine washing or dry cleaning, as these processes can strip the protective finish from the cotton. Instead, clean the exterior with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove dirt. If the jacket requires a deep clean, seek professional advice from a leather or heritage outerwear specialist. When storing, hang the jacket on a sturdy wooden hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and collar. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the distinctive red colour to fade over time.
