First introduced by Belstaff in 1958 (fact!) the Trialmaster is one of the most enduring male garments, still a core part of Belstaff's offering today almost 70 years later. Whilst it's now more of a fashion statement, the garment was originally very much aimed at the growing motorcycle market in the UK, and likely introduced to compete with Barbour who had introduced a similar garment in 1947. This particular example, complete with Sammy Miller tags dates to the late 1960s, but you may have notice by now, is exactly as it was when it left the factory. This deadstock set came straight from the garage of own owner who never wore it. The jacket, pants and gloves all come complete with original factory swing tags.
Condition
Absolutely perfect. Some light storage marks, but what do you expect after 60 years in a garage! You would be hard pressed to find a better set in the world.
