Product Information

Full details

The Belstaff Racemaster Icon Jacket in Dark Navy is designed for the discerning adult male seeking a stylish, water-repellent outerwear option that offers enhanced freedom of movement. Its key benefit lies in its durable, waxed cotton construction and a shorter profile compared to traditional Belstaff jackets. A potential consideration is that waxed cotton requires specific care to maintain its water-repellency and longevity. This jacket combines heritage design with practical features for everyday wear.

FAQs

How often should I re-wax my jacket?

The frequency of re-waxing depends on usage and environmental conditions. A good indicator is when water no longer beads effectively on the surface. For regular wear, this might be once a year or as needed.

Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?

The jacket offers water-repellency, suitable for light to moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, additional waterproof gear or a more specialized waterproof jacket might be necessary.

What is the main difference between the Racemaster and Trialmaster jackets?

The Racemaster was originally designed as a shorter version of the Trialmaster, allowing for more freedom of movement. The Trialmaster typically features a longer cut and often includes additional pockets or details.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

Store the jacket hanging in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid storing it in plastic bags, as this can affect the breathability of the waxed cotton.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is crafted from 6 oz. British Millerain waxed cotton.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

While the waxed cotton offers wind resistance, the jacket itself is not heavily insulated. For very cold weather, layering with a warm mid-layer or thermal base layer is recommended.

Can I wash the jacket in a washing machine?

No, never machine wash or dry clean a waxed cotton jacket. This will strip the wax and damage the fabric. Cleaning should be done with a damp cloth and cold water only.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff or sticky after cleaning.

This can happen if the jacket is dried too close to a heat source. Allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. If stickiness persists, a light brushing might help.

Water repellency has decreased.

The jacket likely needs re-waxing. Purchase a Belstaff-approved fabric wax and follow the re-application instructions carefully. Ensure the jacket is clean and dry before waxing.

Wax marks on other clothing or furniture.

This can occur if the wax has not fully cured or if the jacket is stored improperly. Ensure the jacket is fully cured after waxing and store it hanging in a cool, dry place.

Minor scuffs or abrasions on the fabric.

Small scuffs are normal wear for waxed cotton and often blend in with the patina over time. For more noticeable marks, re-waxing can sometimes help obscure them.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and water-repellent waxed cotton construction.
  • Offers greater freedom of movement due to its shorter cut.
  • Classic Belstaff design with modern functional updates.
  • Suitable for various weather conditions.
  • Aesthetically pleasing with a streamlined look.

Cons

  • Waxed cotton requires specific maintenance to preserve its properties.
  • May not be as warm as heavily insulated jackets for extreme cold.
  • The water-repellency might diminish over time without proper re-waxing.
  • Zipped pockets might be less accessible than snap buttons for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Racemaster Icon Jacket requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as standalone outerwear and does not have specific compatibility requirements with other gear, though layering is recommended for colder weather.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and appearance of your waxed cotton jacket:

  1. Cleaning: Do not machine wash or dry clean. Brush off dirt and debris with a stiff brush. For stubborn stains, use cold water and a sponge, then allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  2. Re-waxing: Periodically re-wax the jacket to maintain its water-repellency. Use a specific fabric wax designed for outerwear, following the product's instructions. Apply evenly and allow it to cure.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid plastic bags, as the waxed cotton needs to breathe. Hanging is preferable.
