Founded in the year 1924 in Longton, Staffordshire this company has a rich history in manufacturing high quality garments for the aviation and motorcycle industry. They were the first company to ever create a totally waterproof yet breathable fabric and called it "wax cotton" because it is derived from coating ultra-fine Egyptian cotton in natural minerals and oils. To this day the company has stuck to its roots by continuing to manufacture protective all weather jackets for motorcyclists and aviators by using only the finest of leathers and wax cotton fabrics. In the past Belstaff also produced what are now highly sought after aviation goggles that were used exclusively by the world's top military aviators.

The company is now Italian owned and based in Mogliano Veneto, but continues to manufacture extremely stylish yet functional attire.
