Belstaff has some serious history behind it and can be regarded as the pioneer in producing motorcycle jackets for men and motorcycle jackets for women. Still it is an iconic brand for motorcycle riders in the U.K. and elsewhere. Belstaff jackets burst onto the British motorcycle racing scene in 1924, when founders Eli Belovitch and his son in law Harry Grosberg started producing waterproof jackets for both men and women, with an emphasis on motorcyclists.
Inspiration struck the duo as a result of the many clothing shortfalls faced by motorcycle racers, who faced adverse weather conditions and harsh terrain that gradually destroyed their clothing. This, along with the expertise Belovitch’s factory gained during the war years, led to the development of Belstaff’s highly durable waxed cotton and leather jackets. These super stylish jackets were able to withstand the trying conditions of the racing circuits and open roads, while also gaining a fashion following that led the Belstaff brand to the red carpets of Hollywood.
Famous Belstaff advocates included motorcycle racers Joseph Wright and Sammy Miller, aviators Amy Johnson and Amelia Earhart and actors Steve McQueen and Ewan McGregor. Today, the Belstaff waxed jacket collections still carry the classic style hallmarks of its golden motorcycling and Hollywood history, and its fashion following has stretched right across the globe.
