I have been looking for a new 'classic' style jacket to use when riding my T140. I wanted a Belstaff Trailmaster, but at £380 for a wax cotton jacket, I think they are way over priced! Found a guy on ebay who makes exact copies of the Belstaff, to your measurements. So I ordered one, and here it is.  It has reinforced shoulders, elbows, buckle collar, brass press studs, tartan lining and waterproof pockets.    And the best part of all is the price, £91.99 including postage! here is a link to the ebay ad. cgi.ebay.co.uk/International-Motorcycle-Jacket-1970style-Wax-Cotton_W0QQitemZ180434225277QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Motorcycle_Clothing?hash=item2a02b7c87dI can't compare quality with an original Belstaff, but I am very pleased with it. It looks very well made. Time will tell how well it performs. |

Nice one Steve! Looks like the alternative Bellender jacket turned out fine! Certainly looks the part. But does it smell like a Belstaff??  V. |

nice one Steve and the quality looks good as well, what puts me off buying a new jacket is price .ever thing these days with clothing is economically priced except bike jackets at $500, i can afford it easily but there a rip off and iam not prepared to cop it up the freckle so i will keep my old one. i have an original Brando jacket from fourty years ago with all the scrapes that go with it but iam to fat now to wear it bummer..

It has been given its own coat peg next to the back door. Wendy said your not hanging that greasy thing next to my coats! LOL Teebee, the word you are looking for is cool!  |

I emailed the seller about sending me one,but as yet,have not received a reply.Maybe because I asked if it could be configured for CE armour.Probably thinks I'm daft. |
