The biker jackets of the British clothing brand Belstaff are known all over the world. In addition to this wardrobe item, which, by the way, is very popular, the company also produces other comfortable everyday clothes and a whole range of accessories.

Belstaff apparel - a timeless legend in the textile industry
The history of the company began almost a hundred years ago - in 1924. It was founded by Eli Belovich with his son-in-law Harry Grosberg. The birthplace of the brand was the small village of Longton in the British county of Staffordshire.

The name of the new brand was made up of the name of the county and the surname of the founder, and the bell became its logo (in 1969 it was replaced by the legendary Phoenix, which spreads its wings).
The firm took its first steps at the height of the motorcycle craze, which ensured its initial success. Moreover, Grosberg and Belovich offered their customers not just jackets, but comfortable waterproof clothing.

The technology of making a waterproof cotton material impregnated with various oils, called Wax Cotton, was invented and developed by the founders of the company themselves.
Gradually, branded products have gained popularity not only among bikers, but also among aviators and fans of an active lifestyle and recreation.

The company's products were so in demand that they continued to work even during the Second World War and in the post-war years (despite the general crisis and economic recession). It was during this period that the Black Prince Motorcycle model was created, which has become a real legend among bikers.

Another model, the Trialmaster, became widely known, in particular, thanks to Sammy Miller and Phil Reed - famous motorcycle racers, as well as the legendary revolutionary and freedom fighter Ernesto Che Guevara.The latter in such a jacket made his historical journey through the countries of Latin America.

Over time, expanding and supplementing production facilities, the company began to produce aviation goggles, leather gloves and other accessories. The range of wardrobe items produced has also significantly expanded.

In the 90s of the last century, developers proposed several more innovative technologies, including:
- Belfresh material, excellently absorbing moisture, including sweat, allowing you to feel comfortable even in intense heat;
- Beltech material, which, unlike its "colleague", was completely waterproof, but good air permeability.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/06/belstaff-15.jpg)
Despite the popularity and novelties, the company was going through hard times during this period. Blame the British textile crisis. They managed to survive only thanks to loyal customers.
In 2000, the company changed its owner - it became the property of an enterprising Italian named Malenotti. However, the new owner decided not to change anything in the concept of the fashionable and popular brand.

In 2006, another innovative Q.A. technology was patented by the trade mark. S, thanks to which branded models can be easily adjusted, "tailored" to the needs of a particular moment.

Currently, there are many representatives of the Hollywood beau monde among the fans of Belstaff branded items, including Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, Angelina Jolly and George Clooney.

In addition, the brand's clothing has its own rich film library. It was worn by the heroes of the films "Aviator", "Ocean's 12", "Mission Impossible 3" and many others.

But perhaps the most popular wardrobe item was the coat of Sherlock Holmes from the latest film adaptation of the adventures of the famous detective. This navy blue tweed coat with tabs, patch pockets, vents and fold-over lapels was discontinued by the time the BBC's Sherlock hit the screens.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2017/06/belstaff-21.jpg)
But having correctly assessed the situation, the company's management re-launched the line for its tailoring, even increasing its assortment by expanding the color palette. Today this coat is one of the most sought after in the Belstaff collection.
