The Belstaff Trialmaster Leather Motorcycle Jacket brings one of motorcycling's most iconic designs to life in beautifully finished leather. Crafted from 100% cow leather, each jacket undergoes an intensive 18-hour hand-waxing process, creating a rich, individual finish that develops an increasingly distinctive patina with age and wear.
Combining the unmistakable four-pocket Trialmaster silhouette with modern riding technology, the jacket features CE A certification, removable D3O Level 1 shoulder and elbow armour, protective reinforcements and innovative swivel sleeves for enhanced freedom of movement.
Finished with Belstaff's signature checked cotton lining, oil-resistant corduroy detailing and engraved metal hardware, it's a premium leather motorcycle jacket that balances genuine British riding heritage with contemporary protection and comfort.
The Trialmaster is one of Belstaff's most celebrated designs, with origins dating back to 1948 and the demanding conditions of the Scottish Six Days Trial.
Originally developed as practical motorcycle clothing, its distinctive four-pocket arrangement, belted waist, high collar and rugged construction established a silhouette that has remained recognisable for generations.
The Trialmaster Leather Motorcycle Jacket reinterprets that classic design in hand-waxed cow leather, adding richness, texture and individuality to the familiar shape.
The vintage character of the leather, while traditional details preserve the jacket's unmistakable Trialmaster identity.

The Trialmaster Leather Motorcycle Jacket is crafted from 100% cow leather, selected for its durability, distinctive texture and ability to develop character through use.
Each jacket undergoes a specialist 18-hour hand-waxing process, during which wax is applied to create its rich colour and individual finish.
The process provides:
A distinctive hand-finished appearance
Water-repellent properties
Rich colour and depth
Natural variations between garments
A leather finish that develops character with age
Durable everyday performance
Because the leather is finished by hand, subtle variations in colour and texture are part of the jacket's individuality rather than imperfections.
One of the defining characteristics of the Trialmaster Leather Jacket is the way its appearance evolves.
The hand-waxed finish responds naturally to wear, movement and handling, gradually developing a unique patina that reflects the life of the jacket.
Over time, the leather gains additional depth and character, creating the lived-in appearance associated with traditional premium motorcycle clothing.
Rather than remaining perfectly uniform, each Trialmaster develops its own distinctive finish.
The Trialmaster Leather Motorcycle Jacket is CE A certified, providing a recognised level of abrasion and impact protection for motorcycle riding.
CE A certification is intended for garments offering basic protective performance, typically suited to lower-speed riding where comfort and flexibility are also important.
The jacket incorporates additional reinforcement beneath the shoulder and elbow patches, helping strengthen key areas of the garment.
Twin-needle topstitching provides further durability throughout the construction.
The jacket is supplied with removable D3O Tri-Ventilation Level 1 armour at the shoulders and elbows.
D3O protectors are engineered to remain flexible during normal movement while providing impact protection when subjected to sudden force.
The Tri-Ventilation construction incorporates ventilation features intended to improve comfort.
Included protection:
D3O Tri-Ventilation Level 1 shoulder armour
D3O Tri-Ventilation Level 1 elbow armour
Removable protector construction
The armour provides modern motorcycle protection without compromising the traditional appearance of the Trialmaster.
An integrated back protector pocket allows additional protection to be fitted.
This provides the option to upgrade the jacket's protective equipment with a compatible back protector.
Back protector: Not included. Available separately.
The Trialmaster Leather Motorcycle Jacket incorporates Belstaff's swivel sleeve construction, designed to provide enhanced freedom of movement.
The sleeve design allows a greater range of arm movement, helping reduce restriction when reaching forward to the handlebars or changing riding position.
Designed for 360-degree mobility, the construction helps make the jacket more comfortable both on and off the motorcycle.
This is particularly beneficial in a leather jacket, where traditional construction can otherwise feel restrictive around the shoulders and upper arms.
The jacket incorporates metal ventilation eyelets beneath the arms, providing additional airflow through the garment.
These help improve comfort during warmer conditions or more active riding.
Combined with the swivel sleeves and flexible leather construction, the ventilation contributes to a jacket designed for comfortable everyday motorcycle use.
The Trialmaster's unmistakable appearance is defined by a collection of practical and heritage-inspired details.
The traditional four-pocket arrangement retains one of the most recognisable elements of the original Trialmaster design.
It provides useful everyday storage while maintaining the jacket's distinctive utilitarian silhouette.
The collar and cuff facings are finished in oil-resistant corduroy, adding softness and comfort alongside an authentic Belstaff heritage detail.
An adjustable knurled throat latch fastening provides additional coverage and a secure closure around the neck.
Engraved stud and buckle fastenings reinforce the premium construction and traditional styling of the jacket.
The interior features Belstaff's iconic woven cotton check lining, connecting the leather Trialmaster with the brand's long history of British motorcycle clothing.
A buckle cover with embroidered Belstaff branding provides another considered finishing detail.
The Trialmaster Leather Jacket retains its traditional functional design with a useful selection of pockets.
Four external front pockets
Internal zipped pockets
Dedicated back protector pocket
The arrangement provides practical storage while preserving the authentic appearance of the original Trialmaster.
Belstaff's leather products support more responsible manufacturing through the Leather Working Group (LWG).
The Leather Working Group works to promote improved environmental practices, responsible leather production and greater transparency within the leather supply chain.
This reflects Belstaff's commitment to supporting more responsible leather manufacturing.
The Belstaff Trialmaster Leather Motorcycle Jacket is cut for a regular fit, offering a comfortable silhouette with room for natural movement.
The swivel sleeve construction further improves mobility, particularly when adopting a motorcycle riding position.
Fit: Regular Model wears: Size L Model height: 6'1" Model chest: 40" Model waist: 31"
For motorcycle use, the jacket should fit securely enough to keep the shoulder and elbow protectors correctly positioned while allowing comfortable movement on the bike.
The leather finish gives the Trialmaster a particularly authentic vintage motorcycle appearance.
Its warm, richly textured leather pairs naturally with:
Selvedge motorcycle jeans
Protective denim riding trousers
Heritage motorcycle boots
Leather motorcycle gloves
Lightweight riding base layers
Casual shirts and T-shirts
Vintage-inspired motorcycle accessories
The classic silhouette is particularly well suited to modern classic motorcycles, café racers, scramblers and riders who appreciate traditional British motorcycle style.
Its distinctive hand-waxed finish also makes it an attractive everyday leather jacket away from the motorcycle.
The hand-waxed leather requires specialist care to preserve its finish, suppleness and appearance.
Belstaff recommends:
Do not wash
Do not bleach
Do not tumble dry
Do not iron
Do not dry clean
Use a professional leather care centre for specialist cleaning
Remove protective armour before professional cleaning where required
Avoid conventional household cleaning products or treatments that may alter the specialist hand-waxed finish.
Appropriate professional leather care will help preserve the character and longevity of the jacket.
The Belstaff Trialmaster Leather Motorcycle Jacket combines genuine motorcycle heritage with the distinctive character of premium hand-finished leather.
Its 100% cow leather construction and specialist 18-hour hand-waxing process create a rich, individual finish that develops a unique patina with age, while the classic four-pocket silhouette, belted waist and checked lining preserve the iconic Trialmaster identity.
Modern riding features, including CE A certification, removable D3O Level 1 armour, protective reinforcements and swivel sleeves, bring practical protection and comfort to this timeless design.
