With the ever-present unpredictability of British weather, it’s important to have a reliable but stylish jacket on hand. Since 1924, Belstaff has been producing some of the finest jackets to keep you looking dashing, rain or shine.
Here at Woodhouse, we’ve put together 4 of our Favourite pieces ready to tackle the passage into Spring & Summer.
1.The Trialmaster
Belstaff’s definitive jacket since 1948, the Trialmaster was initially designed with the Scottish Six Day Trial in mind. The SSDT was a grueling off-road motorcycle race meaning the jacket had to be constructed of durable materials to keep the rider warm and dry. The result was a timeless design that was built to last with 6 oz. waxed cotton. The Trialmaster is both water and wind repellent and boasts a stylish and fitted silhouette. Pair this jacket with a pair of selvedge denim jeans and stylish pair of boots for a smart, ready for the great outdoors style.
Perfect for everyday use, the Dual Parka offers a sleek and practical style for a variety of occasions. Featured here in the striking Rifle Green colour, the parka boasts an eye-catching and form-fitting design without compromising on performance and durability. Made from Nylon, the Dual Parka offers a lightweight edge for whenever you’re on the move. Pair this jacket with a pair of black or tan chinos and a sleek black trainer for a contemporary styled outfit.
Introduced back in 1981, the Racemaster was originally billed as a shorter version of the Trialmaster. Featured here in the classic charcoal grey colour, the jacket provides a subtle but sophisticated style. Made from a 6 oz. waxed cotton with a proprietary blend of micro and technical waxes, the jacket is ready for whatever the elements decide to throw your way. Pair this jacket with a light navy jean or chino pant as well as a grey trainer for a laid back and casual style.
Drawing inspiration from a vintage Belstaff fishing vest, The Castmaster is a utilitarian styled jacket with a substantial amount of charm. Featured here in a bold Sage Green colour, the Castmaster is perfect for a variety of occasions from the riverbank to the beer garden. Also made from Water-repellent 6 oz. waxed cotton, you can be safe with the knowledge that the Castmaster is prepared for the whimsicality of the British climate. Pair this with a brown chino and black boots for a military-inspired look.
