Belstaff Trialmaster Tourist Trophy Motorcycle Jacket - Overview

We are often asked to recommend a truly 'all year round' jacket which is good for off the motorcycle or scooter. The jacket we direct people to is a Belstaff motorcycle jacket called the Belstaff Trialmaster. Sometimes known as the Belstaff Tourist Trophy which is in essence the same jacket, Belstaff just aren't allowed to call it the Trialmaster officially for intellectual property reasons. The Trialmaster was the jacket made famous by a certain Mr McQueen.

Firstly, the jacket truly is 'all year round' because the wax cotton outer shell is able to breathe in summer yet at the same time is waterproof. It will of course need to be re-treated every year to remain waterproof but it's a small price to pay. It comes with a removable Valtherm lining for winter use. All the armour is removable and it will do you proud on the bike, in the pub, walking the dog, doing the shopping etc... Whether you have a Monster, Bonnie or Vespa is of no consequence, it's a timeless look

The cut of the Tourist Trophy is superb, it's designed and manufactured in the same location in Italy and will last a considerable amount of time.

Here a couple of videos we made for your viewing pleasure. Come down to our London store to try one or buy the Belstaff Tourist Trophy Trialmaster via our website, you won't be disappointed.

Tucano Urbano Figaro Jacket review


The Tucano Urbano range of scooter jackets is the current market leader with fashionable designs that keep you safe. The Tucano Don Giovanni jacket has recently been complemented by the addition of the Figaro. Both are wool scooter jackets which are teflon coated for waterproofing and come with CE approved armour in the elbow and forearm.

The Figaro is available in two finishes. Our favourite is the grey herringbone, however the navy looks very smart too. As well as being waterproof, the scooter jacket has a breathable membrane making is suitable for use in warmer weather too.

The Figaro sits alongside the Libeccio, Parka-T and Urbis-T as the bestsellers in our store.

You can buy the Figaro in our online store or at our central London store.

Belstaff, wear it with pride!

One of the hottest jackets in the shop this year has been the Wax Cotton Belstaff Tourist Trophy, based on the original Belstaff Trialmaster worn by a certain Mr McQueen.

A customer came in recently to have his re-waxed after a year of use in the centre of London. If it were me I'd keep it like it is, some people pay good money to get the 'used' look!
