I've been looking for new dead cow to drape around my shoulders and the choices out there are immense. My perusing has left me looking at the older guys, who still wear the jackets from their yesteryears.
One of such brands is Belstaff.
Funnily enough, their motorcycling jacket of fame was never constructed of leather, but of waxed cotton. The founders Eli Belovitch and his son in law Harry Grosberg were the first to make such a garment and it's water repelling qualities earned a good name for the company in the cycle circles.
It also looked good.
Cue McQueen...
The company now makes all sorts of clothes, but they still have stayed true to their roots and the wax cotton jacket is the same today as it was in the 20's...
