Americas Bellstaff jackets

Reading some of the responses here, maybe there's hope. I don't expect to get one simply because there has been no official word about this. Why didn't they (Ineos) simply tell me "the check is in the mail" when i picked up mine on Dec. 29, 2023?
If you have inside knowledge about this, please say so. As with most all of the posts, it seems everyone has a different opinion.

I have no inside information - but I have no reason to doubt (especially preorder) buyers will not get their corresponding jacket.

In fact.- if any Fieldmaster owners wants to trade for a Trialmaster jacket, I'd love to get the Fieldmaster jacket instead.

When I pickup up my vehicle a few weeks ago I was told by the staff at Lyle Pearsons in Boise, that any orders after October 2023 would not be getting a jacket and as for mine, since I was getting a vehicle originally ordered by another that canceled, that I would also probably not get a jacket. I have way too many jackets as it is so this is actually a blessing!

NO or maybe a keychain. The owners manual mentions we get a first aid kit also (page 159). They just gave me a blank look about that.
I would prefer they (Ineos and ~~Mossy) come through with the tow package, roof rack, table, and grab handle part I ordered.

Mine came with a pretty comprehensive first aid kit, which I added a snake bite kit to.
No roadside warning triangle with mine though.

Ahh...an optimist. I hope you are correct, but so far I'm right.

OK, rub it in! Would love to have that here in the U.S., but I fear they gave them all away to the folks down under. BTW I just noticed the page reference in the owner's manual i cited is different that the pdf manual posted on this forum....

I received an email in December, 3 months after I got the vehicle and 18 months after I ordered it, telling me to select the size of my jacket.
It arrived a couple of weeks later

Ordered mine today, but got the email about 2 weeks ago.

They are a really weird shape so I wouldn't worry too much
The chest and waist measurements are the same diameter so I am going to need to do about 40,000 bench presses to build up my chest to fit.

The jackets a wierd shape is it ??

On the upside, there’s a reason Bellstaff was going out of business. If you get stiffed on the jacket you won’t be tempted to go looking like you have the style of David Niven in 1949, or just found your great grandfathers wardrobe in the attic.

I may well not have the designated super hero shape
Or maybe

What's your recommendation for style in 2024?

Did you look inside the panel on the large back door?
That is where the first aid kit is. That's where it is on mine anyway.

That's the Fieldmaster dressing gown.
Townie's special!

If I take a base model and build it to trial master specs it prices out slightly less than the Trial Master model, so the jacket is priced into the model. Supply the jacket or discount the price accordingly.

In the UK and EU that can have ramifications on other considerations ( insurance, availble tow ball arrangements, tax status)
A Trialmaster is category M1 a passenger vehicle.
A base model spec-ed up is still a base model, category N1 a commercial vehicle.

Maybe something a couple generations newer, like aaaa.... satin bowling jacket.

What? I've bought most of my clothes and furniture at thriftshops for decades. How do you think I can afford a Grenadier?

I draw the line at socks and underpants.

Looking back was pretty sure that those of us in the US had a jacket included if we got a trialmaster or fieldmaster. Just curious if
Anyone in the US has gotten any info on getting the jacket?

I'm waiting as well. The fieldmaster jacket was listed in my order sheet under features. Dealer said we will receive email to order a few weeks after car turnover to buyer. Keeping fingers crossed it will be soon.
