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.

Belstaff Crosby jacket in black

Del: Simply Fantastic

Ive had and worn every type of jacket out there, and this one looks and feels the best of any I have had in the past. Classic look, great tailored fit, I get compliments on the jacket wherever I go. I live in Canada on the west coast so Belstaff are rare out here and people are always asking me where I got it. The only time I would consider wearing my mesh jacket instead of my Crosby is on a really warm and sunny day. It does get warm quick when youre going slow in direct sunlight. Im a 48 chest and the 2XL fits great.

PaulC: Classy Jacket

Really nice, well made and very classy jacket. Exactly what you would expect from Belstaff. I took the plunge on the Crosby as I wanted one that was slightly longer but not as long as the Trailmaster and bullseye -perfect. Lots of nice little touches like the last 2 buttons being rubber so they dont scratch your tanks paintwork and the brass buckles. This jacket may be expensive and yes theres a premium for the name but its also a well made and designed jacket. Worth every penny

Belstaff Crosby jacket in mahogany

Martin: A proper jacket, not just a fashion item

This is my 2nd Crosby, bought as this one is slightly heavier weight than the old Italian one and is more substantial. I like the Crosby because its a good length and has side adjusters rather than a belt. Its my most-worn jacket, warm enough with the Belstaff down jacket for down to 8-10C. My only slight criticism is the cuff is a bit narrow, and is suitable for short gloves only.
