FAQs

How do I clean my Belstaff Racemaster Jacket?

The Belstaff Racemaster Jacket requires specialist dry cleaning only. Do not machine wash, hand wash, or tumble dry, as this can damage the unique waxed cotton material and its protective properties.

Is the jacket waterproof?

The jacket is water-repellent and wind-repellent due to its 6 oz. waxed cotton construction. While it offers excellent protection against rain and wind, it is not fully waterproof in the same way a technical shell might be.

What materials is the jacket made from?

The shell and body lining are 100% cotton, treated with the unique waxed finish. The sleeve lining is a blend of 55% polyester and 45% viscose/rayon.

What is the fit of the Racemaster Jacket?

The jacket is cut with a regular fit and is designed to fit true to size. It's recommended to take your normal size.

Can I iron or steam my jacket?

No, you should not iron or steam the Belstaff Racemaster Jacket. High heat can melt or damage the waxed coating. Always adhere to the specialist dry clean only instruction.

What is the significance of the 'Racemaster' name?

Introduced in 1981, the Racemaster was conceived as a shorter version of the iconic Belstaff Trialmaster jacket. This design choice provides increased mobility and freedom of movement compared to its longer counterpart.

Will the jacket's appearance change over time?

Yes, waxed cotton naturally develops a unique patina and character with wear, often referred to as 'distressing'. This is a desirable trait for many owners, adding to the jacket's vintage appeal.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff or rigid when new.

This is a normal characteristic of new waxed cotton. The material will soften and conform to your body with regular wear over time. Continue to wear the jacket; it will become more comfortable and pliable.

Water repellency seems to be decreasing or water is soaking in.

The waxed coating may need professional attention. Do not attempt to re-wax at home unless you have specific instructions from Belstaff. Consult a specialist dry cleaner who is experienced with waxed cotton garments for cleaning and potential re-waxing services. Ensure the care instructions are followed strictly.

Dirt or a stubborn stain on the jacket.

Do NOT machine wash or use harsh spot cleaners. Such methods can strip the wax coating and damage the fabric. For any significant dirt or stains, take the jacket to a specialist dry cleaner and inform them of the material and nature of the stain.

Zipper feels sticky or difficult to operate.

Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil lead to the teeth of the zipper. Work the zipper up and down several times to distribute the lubricant evenly. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

No complex setup is required for the Belstaff Racemaster Jacket. Simply unpackage and wear. The jacket is designed to fit true to size with a regular cut. It's recommended to take your normal size for the intended fit. Over time, the waxed cotton will adapt to your body, softening and developing a unique character.

Compatibility

This jacket is a versatile outerwear piece compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. Its classic design allows it to be layered over sweaters, shirts, or t-shirts. It is suitable for adult males across various environments.

Care

Proper care is crucial to maintain the jacket's unique waxed finish and water-repellent properties. The Belstaff Racemaster Jacket requires specialist dry cleaning only. Do not attempt to machine wash, hand wash, tumble dry, or iron this jacket, as these methods can damage the wax coating and fabric. Always keep away from fire due to the waxed material. For minor dirt or surface marks, gently wipe with a damp cloth, avoiding harsh scrubbing. Regular professional cleaning and re-waxing (if recommended by the specialist cleaner) will help preserve the jacket's longevity and performance.
