Belstaff Crosby jacket in black Product Information
But that does not alter the fact that the Crosby has probably always been the most wearable and practical jacket in the company's waxed cotton collection. Historically, the Trialmaster has simply been too heavy and cumbersome for a lot of people. Whereas the blouson-style Brooklands has proven itself to be too short; particularly at the back, which means that the rain can sometimes run down the jacket into your trousers. For 2024, Belstaff has moved to a much lighter fabric for the Trialmaster, which should make that jacket easier to wear. The company has also, for 2024, extended the tail of the Brooklands, which should make that jacket somewhat more practical, especially in the rain.
One of the key differences between the old Crosby and the new one is that the new one is AA-rated for abrasion resistance under EN 17092; whereas the old jacket was only single-A rated. We had always suspected that the old one would have passed at the AA level, and the new rating certainly suggests that it would have done. The jacket comes with vented, Level 1, D3O armour in the elbows and shoulders. There's a pocket in the back to take a D3O back protector. You can go for a Level 1 protector if you want both comfort and protection. Or you can go Level 2 if you're prepared to trade a bit of comfort.
The Crosby is, in our view, still the most practical jacket in the Belstaff range. And you can wear it on so many different kinds of bikes. It works on any kind of retro or vintage bike. If you've got a custom bike of some description, the Crosby is almost a mandatory. But it will work on any sit-up bike; and it will more than pass muster on an adventure bike. Lots of scooterists like the Crosby, but it would, without doubt, look wrong on a sports bike.
One thing Belstaff has done, however, is lower the price. Apparently, a new factory has allowed them to shave their costs, and so the Crosby is now £50 less expensive than it was last year, and indeed three years ago. I cannot remember when we last saw that.
Belstaff is also keen to push their Climate Vest, which clips into the outer jacket. And if you like matching accessories, this may be the way to go. It's a vest, obviously, and for insulation it is filled with a hollow-form fibre called Primaloft, rather than duck or goose down. Personally, we might go for something like Klim's genuine goose-down Maverick jacket. It would be warmer, and as it comes with sleeves it will definitely be more practical when you're off the bike.

John Burgess: Awesome
Well, after growing up with Belstaff having my first one in 1978 after buying my first Motorbike a Yamaha Fis1 and endless jackets since, usually because of weight Issues lol, I can only say my new Belstaff Crosby is my favourite one it just screams Belstaff, the quality is worth every penny, the fit is perfect for a traditional or retro Bike, I now ride a twisty due to my age and put it on at every opportunity , even a night out however dont leave it on its own as they are so sort after, I get compliments everywhere I wear it, would I recommend it 100 , it is on the weighty side 8oz cotton however its quick and easy to take the armour out if not on the bike and just as quick to put it back in if your going for jaunt. Treat yourself you know you want one.
