Founded in Staffordshire, England, in 1924 by Eli Belovitch and Harry Grosberg, Belstaff began by pioneering the use of waxed cotton to create waterproof apparel for motorcyclists. This innovation established its identity as a purveyor of durable, functional outerwear for adventurers and aviators, with its Trialmaster jacket becoming a definitive piece worn by figures from Che Guevara to Steve McQueen. The brand’s designs are rooted in a rugged, practical utility, originally created to withstand the rigors of events like the Scottish Six Days Trial, yet have evolved into a symbol of understated luxury.
