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.

Verified customer reviews for Waxed Cotton motorcycle jackets

Belstaff Brooklands jacket in mahogany

William: Great Quality

A fantastic jacket that has kept me warm and dry, in the ever predictable rain in Wales. This has taken precedence over my Nivala and Turner jackets, which I use with my Rokker jeans on regular days riding for four to six hours in all weather conditions. Once I receive my Rokker Revolution jeans, Ill probably retire my other gear! Thanks ML for your continued great service.

Belstaff Brecon Bomber jacket in olive

Phill: First foray into the dark art of waxed cotton

wasnt sure what to expect from a waxed cotton bomber jacket but was pleasantly surprised, a bit stiff to start with but got used to that, fast delivery by motolegends and well packaged

Belstaff Brooklands jacket in sand

Bogdan: Stunning

Right away you can tell the quality! Great fit and stunning looks. I have been wearing this for a few months now and it holds well in cold weather 5 degrees for over an hour on the motorway, but Ive not tried it in heavy rain yet. The only two things I dont like are the zipper that is very hard to connect awkward position and also the belt and buckle adjuster can be a bit fiddly and not practical. But for such a good looking and quality jacket you can only rate it 55.
