Waxed Cotton motorcycle jackets

Waxed Cotton motorcycle jackets were some of the very earliest motorcycle jackets, from companies like Barbour and Belstaff, were made from wax cotton. Initially they were used by sailors. Today, wax cotton is very much in fashion, but it’s also very practical. A wax cotton motorcycle jacket does not easily absorb moisture. In fact, rain tends to run off it. But if you combine a wax cotton outer with a waterproof membrane, you can end up with a very high level of waterproofing. But practical as wax cotton can be as a material for a motorcycle jacket, its popularity is linked to its classic heritage. Today, the best of wax cotton jackets are, without doubt, Belstaff jackets. They make the best. You can wear wax cotton jacket on a classic bike, on a modern retro, a custom bike, or indeed any kind of naked motorcycle. McGregor and Boorman also made wax cotton very popular with adventure bike riders. Wax cotton makes for a great jacket that you can wear all year round.

I have now used the jacket over 3K miles and can confirm it is definitely waterproof even in prolonged heavy rain.

Belstaff Brooklands jacket in sand

John: Top quality

This jacket is superbly made, it oozes quality. Im very impressed with the styling and practicality on the bike.. Its expensive ,but itll last a lifetime. Im a 42 chest, was unsure of the sizing, contacted Motolegends, they advised the XL, with a back protector, its a perfect fit. Well done Motolegends again.

Belstaff Crosby jacket in black

Mark: Great Jacket even better service

The Belstaff Crosby jacket is exactly how I hoped a Waxed motorcycle jacket would fit. Its light enough that doesnt restrict your movement and enough presence to give you the assurance, should unfortunate event happens. The fit is very modern and flattering. If you thinking of layering up under the jacket, try it first and maybe size up, As for the Motorlegend customer service, I cannot praise enough how helpful they were. Thank you.
