The Belstaff Fieldmaster Jacket excels in providing reliable protection against inclement weather. Its 6 oz. waxed cotton fabric forms a strong barrier against rain and wind, making it ideal for brisk commutes, casual outings, or adventurous trips in unpredictable conditions. For instance, wearing it on a damp, windy day, you'll appreciate how the waxed cotton sheds water and blocks gusts, keeping you comfortable. The internal drawstring at the waist is a key feature for practical use, allowing you to cinch the jacket for a snugger fit, preventing drafts, or loosening it for layering over a chunky sweater. This adjustability ensures both comfort and a refined silhouette. The signature slanted map pocket is not just a style statement; it's functionally designed for easy access, perfect for stowing small essentials like a phone or wallet while on the go. For colder climates, the jacket's compatibility with the Belstaff Icon gilet means you can easily upgrade its thermal performance by snapping in the gilet, extending its usability across more seasons. Remember, its performance against the elements is directly tied to the maintenance of its waxed finish.
Your Belstaff Fieldmaster Jacket arrives ready to wear. No specific setup is required beyond adjusting the internal drawstring to achieve your preferred fit.
Belstaff Icon Gilet: This jacket is designed with internal snaps to accommodate the Belstaff Icon gilet (sold separately). This allows for seamless integration and added warmth.
Layering: The jacket's design allows for comfortable layering over shirts, sweaters, and light knitwear.
Maintaining your waxed cotton jacket is essential for its longevity and performance:
Re-waxing: To preserve its water and wind-repellent properties, the jacket requires periodic re-waxing. The frequency depends on wear and environmental exposure, but typically once a year or every two years is recommended. Use a high-quality reproofing wax specifically designed for waxed cotton garments. Follow the instructions provided with the reproofing wax carefully.
Cleaning: Do not machine wash or dry clean the jacket, as this will strip the wax coating. Instead, use a damp cloth and cold water to wipe away dirt or mud. For more stubborn marks, a soft brush can be used gently. Avoid hot water, soaps, or detergents.
Drying: Always allow the jacket to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
Storage: Store your jacket in a cool, dry place, ideally hung on a wide hanger to maintain its shape. Avoid folding it for extended periods, as this can cause creases in the wax.
