FAQs

How do I clean my Belstaff V Racer Jacket?

The jacket requires professional leather cleaning only. Do not attempt to machine wash, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean it conventionally, as this will damage the leather.

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

No, the jacket is described as water-repellent, meaning it offers protection against light rain and moisture. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy downpours.

What material is the jacket made from?

The outer shell is made from 100% sheep leather, and the lining is 100% viscose.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

The jacket provides warmth suitable for milder temperatures, but it is not specifically insulated for extreme cold. For colder weather, consider layering appropriately underneath.

What is the Woven Phoenix patch?

The Woven Phoenix patch is Belstaff's signature brand emblem, located on the left sleeve, symbolizing the brand's heritage and quality.

How durable is the sheep leather?

Sheep leather is known for its softness and flexibility, offering good durability with proper care. It is generally lighter than cowhide, providing a comfortable yet resilient wear.

Troubleshooting

Jacket has developed a stain.

Immediately take the jacket to a professional leather cleaning specialist. Do not attempt to clean it with household products or water, as this may cause irreversible damage.

Leather feels stiff or less supple over time.

This is common with leather products. Regular wear will help break in the leather. For significant stiffness, consult a professional leather care specialist who can recommend appropriate conditioning treatments, if suitable for this type of leather.

Water repellency seems reduced.

While water-repellent, continuous exposure to moisture can diminish this property over time. Consult a professional leather care specialist to inquire about suitable re-treatment options for sheep leather. Always test any product on an inconspicuous area first.

Care Instructions

The Belstaff V Racer Jacket is crafted from premium 100% sheep leather, which requires specific care to maintain its quality and longevity.

  • Professional Leather Clean Only: This is the most crucial care instruction. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean using conventional methods.
  • Spot Cleaning: For small, minor marks, gently dab with a clean, damp, soft cloth. Avoid rubbing, which can damage the leather finish.
  • Storage: Store the jacket on a wide, padded hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Allow it to air out after wear to prevent moisture buildup.
  • Protection: Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If the jacket gets wet, gently pat it dry with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources. Consider using a leather protector spray specifically designed for sheep leather, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.
