FAQs
How often should I re-wax my Trialmaster Jacket?
The frequency of re-waxing depends on usage and environmental conditions. Typically, re-waxing once a year or when you notice a decrease in water repellency is recommended.
Can I wear the Trialmaster Jacket in warm weather?
While the jacket offers protection, its waxed cotton construction can be warm. It is best suited for cooler or unpredictable weather conditions.
What is the purpose of the slanted map pocket?
The slanted map pocket on the chest was originally designed for easy access to maps while riding a motorcycle, allowing for quick reference without removing gloves.
How do I clean the Belstaff check lining?
The lining can be spot-cleaned gently with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the entire garment.
Does the jacket come pre-waxed?
Yes, the jacket comes pre-waxed from the factory. However, re-waxing is necessary over time to maintain its protective properties.
What type of hardware is used on the jacket?
The jacket features signature antique brass metal hardware, engraved with 'Belstaff England' on the round snaps.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff or has a waxy residue
This is normal for new or recently re-waxed jackets. Wear the jacket regularly to break it in. If residue is excessive, gently wipe with a clean, dry cloth.
Reduced water repellency
The jacket requires re-waxing. Follow the care instructions to reapply wax evenly, paying attention to seams and high-wear areas.
Wax transfer onto other clothing
This can occur with new or heavily waxed jackets. Allow the jacket to cure after waxing, and avoid prolonged contact with light-colored fabrics until the excess wax has settled.
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper. A small amount of wax applied to the zipper teeth can help improve smoothness.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Clean the jacket by hand using cold water and a soft brush or sponge. Mild soap can be used if necessary, but rinse thoroughly.
- Re-waxing: To maintain water and wind repellency, the jacket should be re-waxed periodically. Use Belstaff's recommended wax or a similar high-quality wax designed for waxed cotton garments. Apply evenly with a soft cloth, following the wax manufacturer's instructions. Allow the jacket to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area after waxing.
- Storage: Store the jacket on a wide, padded hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing in plastic bags, as the waxed cotton needs to breathe.
