FAQs

Is the Belstaff Gangster Icon jacket waterproof?

It is water-resistant due to the hand-waxed treatment, making it suitable for light rain, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged exposure to water.

Will the leather change over time?

Yes, the hand-waxed leather is designed to evolve. It will develop a unique patina and soften as you wear it, making it more comfortable with age.

How do I ensure a good fit?

Use the adjustable buckled collar latch and the side hem buckles to tighten or loosen the jacket to your preferred silhouette.

Can I wash this jacket in the machine?

No, machine washing will damage the wax coating and the structure of the leather. Always consult a professional leather specialist.

What is the purpose of the under-arm panels?

The accordion side panels provide 'flex' room, allowing for easier movement of the arms without pulling the rest of the jacket out of place.

Does it have internal pockets?

The jacket includes the external signature bellows pockets; check the specific interior lining of your model for additional discreet storage.

Troubleshooting

The leather feels stiff and rigid

The hand-waxed finish requires a break-in period. Regular wear will naturally soften the leather fibers over time.

Surface appears dull or dry

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or re-waxing balm designed for waxed leather garments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket remains in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Storage: Always use a wide, padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders.
  2. Cleaning: Never machine wash. Use a damp cloth to remove surface dust. For deep cleaning, seek a specialist leather dry cleaner familiar with waxed garments.
  3. Weathering: If the jacket gets soaked, allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather.
  4. Refinishing: Depending on frequency of wear, you may need to re-apply a light leather wax dressing every few years to maintain the water-repellent finish.
