FAQs
What type of denim is used in this jacket?
The jacket is made from 100% cotton rigid denim that has been washed for a worn-in effect and a softer feel from the start.
How should I clean the Piston Trucker Jacket?
Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid bleach.
Is this jacket suitable for winter wear?
This jacket is best suited for mild to cool weather. For colder temperatures, it can be layered with warmer garments underneath.
What is the purpose of the leather patch at the hem?
The black leather patch at the hem is a signature Belstaff branding element, adding to the jacket's premium detailing.
Does the jacket have internal pockets?
The product description mentions two applied chest pockets with snap-down flaps and two side-entry hip pockets. There is no mention of internal pockets in the provided information.
What does 'rigid denim' mean?
Rigid denim refers to denim that has not been pre-washed or treated to soften it. While this jacket uses *washed* rigid denim, the base fabric is typically durable and requires a break-in period for maximum comfort.
What is the fit like?
The jacket features a trucker silhouette, which generally offers a relaxed, straight fit. It is designed to be worn by adults and is suitable for layering.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff or restrictive
This is typical of rigid denim. Wear the jacket frequently in natural positions to help break in the fabric. Washing and drying as per care instructions can also aid in softening the material over time.
Color transfer from denim
Washed denim can sometimes transfer color, especially when new or wet. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored surfaces. Wash separately or with dark colors for the first few washes.
Snaps are difficult to fasten/unfasten
Ensure the snap is properly aligned before attempting to fasten. The snaps may become easier to use with regular wear and use as the denim flexes.
