Belstaff was founded in 1924 by Eli Belovitch and his son-in-law Harry Grosberg, in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire in the UK. The name Belstaff is a combination of Eli?s surname and his Staffordshire home. Belstaff was the first company to use wax cotton in the manufacturing of waterproof apparel for motorcycling.

This is a vintage Belstaff Cordura Nylon biker jacket, with zip out detachable lining, six front storage pockets, plus shoulder and elbow protection pads.

Used and in fair to good vintage condition with general heavy signs of use and marks throughout. There have been large stitch repairs to the front under placket edge seam up towards the collar, to the rear left arm seam, and at the inner back neck. The front belt prong has one part broken off and no longer fastens. There is also a small section of stitching missing at the rear left hem and some abrasion through use to the zip out liner. Not quite perfect but still a great looking vintage Belstaff biker jacket. Please see all images.

All my vintage listings unless otherwise stated are true vintage and have been worn before, therefore they will typically show signs of wear and will not smell like new, which is all part of the vintage look and appeal.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR SIZE: Please DO NOT solely rely on the listed size for your correct fit. Designers often use different measurements for sizes depending on the overall look they desire, so sizes can not only vary brand to brand but also within the same brand. Also, for vintage and pre-worn items the shape may have changed after years of being worn. The best way to ensure your correct fit is to compare the measurements listed to a similar item that fits you well.
