The Trialmaster is one of my favourite designs of all time, a timeless classic that looks as good on a motorcycle as it does on a catwalk! The Trialmaster was first introduced in the 1950s, and quickly became the staple jacket for the explosion in popularity of motorcycling in postwar Britain. Worn on the backs of everyone from Che Guevara to the 59 Club, the Trailmaster was the jacket of choice for a generation of bikers! Belstaff have always been a brand keen to work with racing teams, and the much coveted red and green Trialmasters were produced in the later 1960s - 70s for racing teams in very limited quantities.
As with any fresh rewax, there will be a little residue that comes off on touch, but this will settle over time, and the jacket will pick up amazing patina with a little wear. A stunning example of a much in-demand jacket that is ready for the next 50 years. It comes with a slight salty pair of red trousers that I've also cleaned - perfect for Goodwood Revival!
Condition
Used but solid. The YKK zipper works like charm, as do all the studs etc. There are a few knick to the shell here, it's missing a couple of eyelets on the belt, and there and a few stains on lining, but it's a solid piece with many years of wear left.
