Belstaff RIP OFF.

[Starbeck]

Whilst looking for the Manchester Belstaff web details this popped up; belstaffjackets.co.uk
The full range at massive discounts. It looked too good to be true so I contacted Belstaff, sure enough, it's too good to be true. Nothing to do with Belstaff.com. They advised me not to use the site and have a warning on their own official web-site after lots of complaints.


Merry Christmas to all HU-ers.

Funnily enough, I was expecting someone to say that.

Your choice.

Balstaff does seem to have become a fashion item these days...

In which case, if you avoid purchasing from the aforementioned site, you shall become neither a scam victim or a fashion victim.

true true. that shop in manchester has location, prices and styling for the cheshire set. went in there a few weeks ago looking scruffy and it felt like i was the only one in there who would be wearing a jacket whilst riding a bike.

Try E-bay. The ones at £45 work but are made to the price. My £99 one (made in Egypt) is my favourite bike jacket by miles. The ex-belstaff manufacturing people also have a website (google wax touring jacket etc.). Made to measure at the £150 mark, but don't expect fast service (my quote was four months and that after it took a month to get a reply). I know a few guys who have these and also love them.

Belstaff is now a fashion label pure and simple. The price reflects the cost of running city centre stores and the fact that footballers, soap stars and other fashion victims combine the retailers favourite atributes; cash and stupidity.

Some one is bound to relate how their Belstaff used to leak and they had to pay four and six for a hansome cab to get home. This is because Nikwax wasn't invented until after the Napoleonic wars and boiled up chimney sweep simply isn't effective (and leaves stains on the bulter). If you do intend to ride in wax cotton, treat it like your tent.
