BELSTAFF | Crafting Legends: Rebuilding A Legend

[@78a67h]

I bought my Belstaff Trialmaster jacket in 1976 and rode in it all over England. I did not realize at the time the legend behind the product but I do now. 41 years on, the jacket is still with me and in perfect nick plus the patina.Excellent little film. Apart from the jacket I have the exact same table lamp!

[@spectrumhorizon1392]

Thats amazing, how many times did you wax it?

[@78a67h]

@@spectrumhorizon1392 Believe it or not I never have, but I have to clarify the jacket has been hanging in a closet all the time since 1981 when I moved to a warmer climate and I did not need it in my rides.

Rebuilding A Legend We love that with each #adventure, our wax cotton jackets take on a patina unique to the individual traveler. From time to time, though, we suggest a reproof to restore #vitality & #function to the garment. #SpringCleaning Explore Men's: bit.ly/1nUb9AV Explore Women's: bit.ly/1faRseP

Yes. I 100% agree. I would love to work at your company.

Lovely video and workshop

Do I need to use cast iron pots, ye olde wooden spools of cotton from 1912, and have wooden ducks about while doing this?

[@AlexBego]

Awesome! Authentic! True!

La mia giacca 4 tasche Belstaff è diventata appiccicosa nonostante ancora nuova dopo tempo dall acquisto. Come fare per ovviare a questo problema? Grazie

[@adambatham]

Are they waxed in uk, or in Italy where the Jackets are made?

[@spectrumhorizon1392]

They are made in Romania

[@sebastianpolo6271]

@@spectrumhorizon1392 some are made in Romania, other in Italy. All my jackets are made in Italy, bought the last one in 2021

Lovely jackets. Good to know you can re-proof them.

[@DavidChow]

Lovely piano playing...not sure I can be bothered to reproof my Staniland though when the time comes. Perhaps leave this job for the pros...

[@DavidChow]

And I did after I walked up a hill in Scotland and the water went straight through my waxed jacket!

[@matthewgandy4991]

Where can I get this done ?

[@spectrumhorizon1392]

Hmm... British

Capi eccellenti..

[@jakeyboy2929]

Anyone got any tips/tricks on doing this? My Brooklands blouson is looking dry as hell after many bike rides

[@bryantppierce]

I just ordered one can't wait to get it home, how's the fit in through the shoulders? I hope it's not too boxy I'm slim and have a hard time finding pieces that fi

[@rbj1906]

I use barbour or belstaff wax, which ever is cheaper. I rewax my mojave every summer outside and I use a heat gun on is lowest setting to help melt the wax in the jacket. You can also use a hair blow dryer.

[@spectrumhorizon1392]

Put the wax in water and put it on the stove. Wait until melted and apply evenly.

オイル系のジャケットは日本の気候に全く合わないよな。まぁ、ベルスタッフも速攻で日本から撤退したし

[@spectrumhorizon1392]

That's true, but they are still a great jacket that is suitable for many climates... especially rain!

[@patch33]

降水率も湿度も日本と似てるから合ってそうだけど数年経つとベタベタするよね。 だから普通にスコッチガード使ってる
