PatB Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I took my granddaughters to an ice-rink at a well known garden centre in Ware yesterday where there were a few well dressed members of the middle-class in their Barbour coats - then I realized where I'd seen that popular style before, in my motorcycling days in the 60's, and 70's,Barbour have copied that well used Belstaff style coat so popular all those years ago, someone had even tied their belt across the back the same way as we used to. Well it put a silly grin on my face. The Belstaff style seems to have been up and coming for a while. Whilst I'm no longer able (or particularly motivated) to directly observe UK fashion trends, in recent years I've noticed an awful lot of Roadmaster and Trialmaster styled jackets in contemporary UK TV drama. Mind you, I'm not so sure that the Barbour is a copy as such. I've always been under the impression that, once upon a time, Barbour did their own range of motorcycle jackets similar to that of Belstaff. Can't say I've ever seen one though.

Horsetan Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 The Belstaff style seems to have been up and coming for a while.

I've always been under the impression that, once upon a time, Barbour did their own range of motorcycle jackets similar to that of Belstaff. Can't say I've ever seen one though. Both brands catered for the motorcyclist way back when, although Belstaff never really stopped making their garments, whilst Barbour stopped making theirs in about the 1960s and specialised in country sports clothing instead. Both brands are now clearly immersed in the fickle, superficial world of high fashion with price tags to match.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I need to put my smelly old Roadmaster (Xmas present in 1988 and still waterproof 26 years on, which is better going than any of my more recent jackets) on Ebay .
