VINTAGE BELSTAFF & BARBOUR |
In 1924, Harry Grosberg founded
Belstaff in Stoke-on-Trent , Staffordshire . The original product line consisted
of waterproof garments for men and women.
At about this time Belstaff became the first company in the world to use a
fabric which was totally waterproof but breathable, the now famous "Wax Cotton".
This was a very fine Egyptian cotton treated with natural oils, making it
waterproof while leaving the cotton's excellent breathability characteristics
unimpaired.
With this material, Belstaff specialised in the creation of high technology wear
for the protection of the motorcyclist.
Together with protective clothing, Belstaff also began to make goggles, gloves,
boots, helmets and bags,
The famous Trialmaster jacket has been worn by generations of motorcycle
enthusiasts from famous champions such as Sammy Miller with his record 1,250
victories, and Phil Read, who always wore it when competing in Grand Prix races
in wet weather, to legendary names such as Ernesto Che Guevara who used it
during his motorcycle journey across Latin America.
In 1943 the famous "Black Prince Motorcycle Jacket" was created - the
best-selling waterproof jacket of all time. For about forty years, over 40,000
of these were produced annually in the purpose-built Silverdale factory! The
traditional manufacturing processes have been retained out of love and respect
for the English tradition.
This is why Belstaff jackets hold their value. Jackets from the 1950s and 60s are
keenly sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts and are kept as trophies by
true motorcyclists
