FAQs

How often should I re-wax the jacket?

The frequency of re-waxing depends on usage and environmental conditions. Typically, re-waxing is needed every 6-12 months for regular wearers, or when you notice a significant decrease in water repellency.

Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?

The jacket offers good water-repellency for showers and light rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, it may not provide sufficient protection and a more specialized waterproof garment is recommended.

What is the main difference between the Racemaster and Trialmaster jackets?

The Racemaster is a shorter version of the classic Trialmaster, designed for increased freedom of movement. The Trialmaster is longer and typically features four external pockets.

How do I store the jacket when not in use?

Store the jacket hanging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid storing in plastic bags, as the fabric needs to breathe.

What kind of material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is crafted from 6 oz. British Millerain waxed cotton, known for its durability and water-repellent properties.

Can I adjust the fit of the jacket?

The jacket features a fixed fit based on its design. There are no adjustable features like waist cinches, but its cut allows for layering underneath.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff and creases easily.

This is normal for new waxed cotton. Wear the jacket regularly to break it in. The wax will soften with body heat and movement.

Wax transfer onto other clothing.

Ensure the jacket is fully dry and stored properly. Avoid prolonged contact with lighter-colored fabrics, especially when new or recently re-waxed. Lightly buffing with a soft cloth can sometimes help.

Reduced water repellency.

The jacket needs re-waxing. Purchase Belstaff Waxed Cotton Dressing and follow the application instructions carefully.

Dirt or marks on the fabric.

Attempt to spot clean with a damp cloth and cold water. For stubborn marks, use a very mild soap solution, rinse with a clean damp cloth, and allow to air dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent water-repellency for variable weather conditions.
  • Durable waxed cotton material that ages well.
  • Comfortable and allows for good mobility due to its shorter cut.
  • Classic yet modern aesthetic that complements various styles.
  • Secure zipped pockets for convenient storage.

Cons

  • Requires specific care for waxed cotton to maintain its properties.
  • May not offer the same level of extensive pocketing as longer jackets.
  • Initial stiffness of waxed cotton can take time to break in.
  • Can be prone to wax transfer to lighter clothing if not properly maintained.
  • Not designed as heavy-duty protective outerwear for extreme conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Racemaster Icon Jacket requires no initial setup; it is ready to wear upon purchase. Ensure all zippers are functioning smoothly before first use.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as a standalone outerwear piece. It is compatible with various casual and smart-casual outfits. For colder weather, it can be layered over knitwear or a lightweight fleece.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Do not machine wash or dry clean. Spot clean any soiling with cold water and a mild soap. Allow the jacket to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  • Rewaxing: Over time, the water-repellency of the waxed cotton will diminish. The jacket can be re-waxed using Belstaff's own Waxed Cotton Dressing to restore its protective qualities. Follow the instructions provided with the dressing product carefully.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding sharply for extended periods, as this can cause wax to crack or transfer. Hanging is recommended.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check seams and zippers for wear. Minor repairs can often be handled by specialist tailors experienced with waxed garments.
