By this point, however, I was basically just fantasy personal shopping-and not for womenswear. This included a sort of garagiste jumpsuit, skirts, and shirts with hand-drawn doodles illustrating the ephemera seen and acquired on the customer’s idealized journey, and lots of versions of the men’s jackets. This offered the lightness and versatility of the synthetic fabric with the potential to, in time, acquire a pleasing patina offered by the waxing process. Yet another revived jacket, named the XL 500, originally built for Belstaff’s motorsport of trial racing, was the inspiration for some pieces, which were delivered in waxed nylon. Freshly cooked and served on that mannequin, it looked like it has already enjoyed several eventful tours of duty-an impression also given by Lehnhardt-Moore’s super-attractive leather and waxed-cotton courier and overnight bags, respectively. Another four-pocket coat came in a thick olive canvas duck-piped in washed bridle leather. A jacket with roughened metal fastenings in a nylon British Army woodland camo looked very fine as well, as did the beautifully treated green T-shirt worn layered under a shirt. It also included arms to make a very fine jacket.Ī corduroy collared Trialmaster in weathered patches of variously shaded khaki and olive cotton looked manly on its mannequin. His revival of a 1950s-through-to-1990s Belstaff produced a fishing vest-chest-thumpingly named the Castmaster, in sidewalk-appropriate orange and riverbank-appropriate khaki-that had this punter hooked (I’ve since snagged a vintage example on eBay).

At a presentation entitled “Travelogue” (British English for “travelog”) Sean Lehnhardt-Moore’s sophomore outing for Belstaff was, without question, full of fly-looking outerwear.
