Belstaff Crosby jacket
In the world of the motorcycling, there are really just two styles of jacket: the short and the long! The long jacket from Belstaff is called the Trialmaster and has four pockets and a belt. The short jacket is normally more of a blouson style, and is often associated with a sportier style of bike. Belstaff call their version the Mojave or the Brooklands. The Belstaff Crosby jacket sits somewhere between the two and almost, for that reason, is our favourite. It just seems to fit more people and works on and off the bike. It still has four pockets, but instead of a belt it has adjusters on the waist to taper the jacket in. New for 2024, the Belstaff Crosby comes in a technical wax cotton in four colours or in leather (called the Turner) in two colours. In many ways, it is the perfect all-round jacket. Not too long. Not too short. Can be layered up to wear in colder weather but it is light enough to wear through most of the summer. It is, in fact, just right!
How often should I rewax my Belstaff Crosby jacket?
A modern Belstaff motorcycle jacket does not need rewaxing in the way that traditional wax cotton jackets did. They Crosby is not relying on the wax finish for its waterproofing as it has a fixed drop-liner Miporex membrane for that purpose. The modern wax finish is for look and feel rather than pure function.
Does the Belstaff Crosby come up true to size?
Truth be told, even though Belstaff is back in British hands, the sizing is still a little Italian. Check the size charts on the jackets as you will probably need to size up on the Crosby.

Belstaff Crosby jacket in black
Like the above reviewer, my first Belstaff was the Trialmaster that in 1968 cost my generous Dad around 40 quid. It was heavily advertised in the bike media by the living legend Sammy Miller. I froze my nethers off during my winter commuting to college in Wigan, grim at the best of times, but although my 16 year old self never understood layering, the elements never got through that waxed exterior. 58 years later inflation has nudged the price up a touch, but the quality and style is still there in the Crosby. So well made, so stylish, my wife loves it so much I expect shell get one. Theres good standard D30 armour and with my WarmSafe electric liner jacket, its good for all seasons. Great service from Motolegends as usual and I snapped this up in a discounted sale. Trivia note I normally go for an XL as Im a 42 chest and a proportionate 62 but that was not the best fit for me across the shoulders. The swap for a 2XL took a matter of days - perfect.
Belstaff Crosby jacket in sand
This year I am adding urban style riding clothing to my wardrobe. The Belstaff Crosby jacket has style, with tailoring detail and high standard of manufacture. I am biased, but it looks good. As the jacket uses a waxed fabric with a membrane lining, it is wind and water proof. I chose SAND to move away from black and grey. The jacket is central to my new urban style when worn with black protective jeans, tan boots and gloves. The Motorlegends price was very competitive, with fast free delivery. This was my first purchase followed by the second for the boots. I will now be a repeat customer of Motorlegends.
Belstaff Turner leather jacket in antique black
Ive wanted one of these for years and now its arrived, Im staggered at the quality. The smell of the leather, the detail of the stitching and the way it fits is just amazing. Its a true lifetime item and one I hope my kids will wear long after Im gone ! It fits smaller than UK sizes so buy one size up, my only comment. Truely a beautiful piece and one Im proud to own.
