Belstaff Leather Jackets

The leather jackets they started to develop in the 1930’s attracted motorcyclists. A bit like modern day footballers and their boots, the combination of successful riders in motorsport and a Belstaff leather developed the label’s ‘cool’ factor. After the war, cool cats like James Dean really pushed the style of the leather jacket further. It became a symbol of rebellion. Figures like Che Guevara actually wore Belstaff jackets, Guevara himself wore one all the away across South America on his motorcycle tour. Even today, many celebrities like Britney Spears, George Clooney and Kate Moss wear proudly a Belstaff. The Aviator’ pitches Leonardo Di Caprio as a Belstaff-bedecked Howard Hughes, and countless others have used the brand in their films. Even Gucci have used Belstaff styles when designing their ranges.
