Belstaff V Racer Leather Jacket - Black - Size UK 42

We recommend conditioning the Belstaff V Racer Leather Jacket every 6-12 months, or more frequently if it's exposed to harsh conditions or starts to feel dry. Regular conditioning helps maintain its suppleness and prevents cracking.

While the heavy-weight leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, the Belstaff V Racer Leather Jacket is not fully waterproof. It can withstand light rain, but heavy downpours should be avoided. If it gets wet, follow the care instructions for drying.

Store your jacket on a wide, padded hanger to preserve its shape. Keep it in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated closet, away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources. Avoid plastic garment bags, which can trap moisture.

The Belstaff V Racer features a true slim fit, designed to sit close to the body for a contemporary silhouette. If you prefer a more relaxed fit or plan to layer heavily underneath, consider sizing up. Always refer to a size guide if available.

This jacket is considered an investment piece due to its high-quality, heavy-weight 100% leather construction, all-metal hardware, and timeless design. With proper care, it's built to last for many years, developing a unique character and patina over time rather than wearing out.

Due to its heavy-weight leather construction, the jacket is best suited for cooler temperatures, such as spring, autumn, and mild winter days. It may be too warm for peak summer weather.

The jacket's heavy-weight, supple leather naturally requires a break-in period. Wear it frequently to allow the leather to soften and mold to your body for a custom fit. Applying a quality leather conditioner can also help.

Leather can lose its natural oils over time. Apply a suitable leather conditioner or balm to replenish moisture and restore its luster. Ensure the jacket is clean before conditioning.

Small scuffs can often be buffed out gently with a soft cloth. For slightly deeper marks, a color-matched leather cream or polish can help minimize their appearance. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

If the jacket becomes wet, hang it immediately on a broad hanger and allow it to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Once dry, condition the leather to restore its suppleness.

Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (such as wax or a specialized zipper stick) to the teeth of the zipper. Work the zipper up and down gently several times to distribute the lubricant and ease movement.
