Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the jacket waterproof?

It is water-resistant thanks to the hand-waxed finish, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged downpours.

How should I clean the jacket?

Wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use chemical detergents or submerge it in water.

Will the leather change color over time?

Yes, as the leather ages and is exposed to the elements, it will develop a unique patina and may lighten or darken in specific flex points.

Can I wear this jacket for actual motorcycle riding?

Yes, it is designed with features like bellows pockets and accordion panels specifically inspired by riding gear.

What is the best way to store it during summer?

Store it in a cool, dry place on a padded hanger inside a breathable garment bag to keep it away from dust and direct sunlight.

Does the sizing run true to size?

The jacket generally follows standard tailoring. We recommend referencing the specific size chart for your country/region code.

Troubleshooting

Stiff leather feel

Wear the jacket frequently to allow the heat from your body to soften the wax and leather fibers naturally.

Zip feels difficult to operate

Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and consider applying a tiny amount of beeswax to the zipper track to improve glide.

Water repellency decreasing

Reapply a light layer of official Belstaff or professional-grade leather wax to the outer surface and buff evenly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality water-resistant hand-waxed leather
  • Excellent range of motion due to accordion side panels
  • Aesthetically timeless design that improves with age
  • Secure storage with multiple snap and zip pockets

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period for the leather to soften
  • Heavier than standard textile jackets
  • Not intended for extreme deep-winter insulation without layering

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket maintains its water-resistant properties, avoid machine washing or dry cleaning. If the jacket gets wet, allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can dry out and crack the leather. Periodic application of a high-quality leather wax is recommended to maintain the finish and weatherproofing. When storing the jacket, use a wide-shouldered, padded hanger to maintain the shape of the collar and shoulders. Ensure the jacket is clean and completely dry before long-term storage in a breathable garment bag.
