Belstaff Long Way Up

The Long Way Up adventure saw Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman ride some 13,000 miles from the southern tip of South America, all the way up to Los Angeles. Now, for the trip, the boys were supplied gear by Belstaff. We had a hand in the design of Charley’s new, Gore-Tex technical suit. We had less direct input into the new single-layer Charley jeans. Ewan elected to ride in a heavy Belstaff wax cotton jacket worn over a pair of leather pants. Personally, this is not the route we would have gone down, but Ewan is an A-lister, so we can only assume that looking the part would have played a part in his decision. Both the boys wore the new duvet-style, Belstaff Down jacket that has proved to be the most popular item in the Long Way Up Collection. It’s a great layer to wear under any Belstaff wax cotton jacket. We’ve made videos of all the products in the collection. Now, as always, we try and tell it the way it is. And whilst we are really impressed with some of the gear created by Belstaff, we have not baulked from voicing our reservations. To see all the videos, click here.
