Field jacket Trialmaster in waxed cotton

Belstaff is a British brand founded in 1924 in Stoke-on-Trent. The first collections were dedicated to waterproof and utilitarian garments, developed to face difficult conditions and to accompany motorcyclists, workers and explorers. This relationship with protection, mobility and adventure has defined the brand’s identity throughout the twentieth century, transforming jackets born for function into icons of the contemporary wardrobe.

The relationship with motorcycling is particularly important. In 1959 the Trialmaster was launched, a jacket destined to become one of Belstaff’s flagship models. Waxed cotton, used to create a barrier against wind and water while maintaining the fabric’s breathability, remains one of the maison’s most recognizable materials. Patch pockets, belts, protective collars and constructions designed for movement derive from real needs and continue to give Belstaff garments an immediately legible character. The phoenix, introduced on the Trialmaster in the Fifties as a sign of quality, has over time become another identifying element of the brand.

The Belstaff selection on Setaccio is very essential but representative. The Trialmaster in waxed cotton directly recalls the brand’s motorcycling heritage, while the Stanley turtleneck in wool and cotton introduces a more everyday knitwear element. Two different products that show the two souls of the brand: functional outerwear and men’s garments built to be used for a long time.

Belstaff on Setaccio therefore represents an authentic British heritage, linked to motorcycling, outdoor and outerwear culture. It is a proposal for those looking for robust and recognizable products, in which design and function remain closely connected even outside their original context.
