Belstaff was founded in Staffordshire in 1924 by Harry Grosberg who had a vision of creating waterproof, stylish garments for both men and women.  It was the first company to use a material that was totally waterproof and breathable which became known as Wax Cotton.

As well as the motorcycle jackets and trousers, they introduced products such as goggles, gloves, boots, helmets and bags and have now become sought after items.

Belstaff's most famous biker jacket is the Trialmaster Jacket and has been worn by legends such as racing champion, Sammy Miller and Grand Prix racer Phil Red.  Che Guevara was even photographed in his jacket during his travels across Latin America.

In 1943, Belstaff produced their most famous jacket to date, the Trialmaster and although had a few updates, it is still sold today.

It is said that Steve McQueen cancelled a date with Ali MacGraw so that he could stay in and wax  his beloved Belstaff jacket.   Belstaff had provided jackets in the Great Escape 1963.  Lawrence of Arabia, was wearing a Belstaff when he was killed on his motorbike near here in Dorset.
