Belstaff a 'British' embarrassment

[redken1]

I had the wax cotton jacket and trousers early 80s-they didn't have stink-people walking past would avoid me as if I was a skunk. lol ;D

No good for the bike but great for keeping the boring old git who frequented my local from annoying me. If you knew him you would realise why they were worth every penny lol ;D

They're a bit more sofistimocated now.
Not like a barbour and all oily. Mine might smell but that wouldn't be the coats fault.
It really keeps the wind and rain out and looks amazing, it's just a shame it's constructed so badly

I use Spada.... it works, lasts and is reasonably priced.

Have tried other brands and only Clover has lasted longer.

When I worked at Plowrights Motorcycles in Trowbridge in the mid 70's we sold the Belstaff Trialmaster waxed cotton suits... they sold like hot cakes... they were indestuctable!!

I didn't know you had worked at Plowrights. I used to go there (once I was old enough, so must have been early 80's)

I had a 70's Trialmaster I acquired from my brother & yes they did stink

Still got it? They go for big bucks now even if they're damaged.

No I checked not that long a go to see if it was still at my mums house. It probably would have still fitted because I was just as fat back then ;D
