Belstaff Crosby wax cotton jacket in black Product Information
You may not even have noticed that the Crosby disappeared from the Belstaff line-up for a while, but now it’s back. It is made from a new fabric that has been produced for Belstaff by British Millerain and, of course, the jacket is now fully CE approved.
The Crosby has long been a favourite of ours here at Motolegends. The shorter Mojave is sportier. It can be worn on the street, and nobody would ever know that it was actually a proper biking jacket. The only issue is that, for some, it can sit a little low at the back when you’re on the bike. The Trialmaster, by contrast, can sit a little long on some people. For us, the Crosby is the perfect length; not too long, not too short. And whilst some people love the classic belted-look of the Trialmaster, the side adjusters on the Crosby make it much easier to live with.
The jacket is made from a fabric that Belstaff is calling Technical Wax Cotton. It is, in effect, a waxed cotton woven with aramid-style fibres for extra strength. It’s a fabric that now meets the CE standard. It is equivalent to a waxed cotton of about eight ounces; again, the perfect weight, in our book.
In just about every other respect, the new Crosby is identical to the old one. It comes with a check lining and corduroy in the collar. You get four pockets on the outside and one inside. There is adjustment at the neck, at the waist and at the ends of the sleeves. Under the arms you get metal aerators, and the bottom two lowest buttons are rubberised.
Obviously, the Crosby comes with a waterproof membrane. CE approved D30 armour is fitted in the elbows and shoulder, and there’s a pocket for a back protector. There’s no thermal in the jacket but, for us, that’s not an issue; you just layer up. Of course, you do have the option to fit into the jacket Belstaff’s Lambfell or Coventry liners.
We have missed the Crosby, so having it back in the range is terrific. It is, in some respects, the perfect Belstaff.

Bonzo: A quid a day for a year.
Yep. Pop a quid in a jar everyday and 12 months later this classic jacket is paid for. Motolegends sales service never disappoints. Ive bought a few bike jackets over the years, but Id put this Crosby right up the top of my favourites list. Gets better with age too.
Steve: Nice but niggles
Nice coat but for me the collar is too high and bulky, especially if I dont do up the collar. My helmet catches on it! Top outside pockets not deep enough for any phone bigger that a small iPhone SE.
Jabbm: Great Jacket perfect service
This is an amazing jacket that is perfect to wear on and off the bike, if you ride to work and need to look smart this ticks all the boxs fit and style is just like the fashion brand fit ghost D30 and you would never know there is armour in. Great service as always from a great dealer
