does it fit properly? How did you judge the size?
First I tried the "measuring instructions" on the Belstaff website, but this is a hassle and unreliable.

Therefore I took my other jackets, looked at the sizes, and choose the most common size of my other jackets.

Mine arrived after ordering on Wednesday evening. Quality is what I expected. Packaging brilliant, surprised or maybe I wasn't to find a British jacket is made in Albania.

Wow they run small. Hope they make a run of big and tall coats before they start sending codes to us big boys in the US!

Seriously! I’m 6’5” so I hope they have tall sizes.

@Donny The body size is not the problem, but the sleeve length is. Therefore, follow the measurement chart. It worked for me.

Same with trousers.

Apparently, based on my waist dimensions, I should be 7 foot 6 inches tall. 😟😟
Remove the front seat and drive from the back seat?
No , what you need is a gentleman's tailor. Someone to measure inside leg , no funny business.

With the Belstaff we should have received a "patch application instruction". The e-mail I got on July 4th said clearly:
"Your Trialmaster jacket comes with a limited-edition Grenadier patch and fitting instructions"

My surprise was that the instruction was: "Due to the technical nature of the waxed cotton fabric, we recommend using a good tailoring service to attach the patch to you jacket".

As there are no tailors anymore in the UK or Belgium, and I have no intention to go to Albania* I did send an e-mail to the "customerservice@belstaff.com", e-mail address mentioned on that same instruction cardboard:
  • 07/07: my e-mail "Could you please provide me the “application instructions” of the patch?"
  • 07/07: their response "We have received your query and we will aim to get back to you within 24 hours"
  • 07/07: their response "I've passed on the details of your request to our Aftersales specialist ... I should have a response within the next 10 working days"
  • 07/19: their response after 12 days: "Belstaff have asked the brand team to reach out to the INEOS product team and have asked that they then reach out to the customers. Once this information has been filtered through, you will be contacted immediately"
My conclusions:
  • not sure I will get an answer soon
  • Ineos is now also starting a tailor service! :devilish: Wondering who will become the CEO :unsure:
:eek::cry::sick:

*the jackets are made in Albania

[EDITED: I have already been to Albania some 6 years ago, I loved the trip, and there are some nice places to drive with a Grenadier]

And then the big surprise this afternoon at 16h51:
  • an e-mail from Belstaff that my order of my jacket will be shipped, with a tracking number!
I already got it, without being able to track it!
There are clearly some "communication problems" in and between the Ineos companies! 😭

Did you check the tracking number? Maybe you will be getting an additional jacket?

The tracking number was identical with the supplied one in my case.

I am just lying on the Costa Rei at the beach.
Temperature is just over 40 degrees.
Can Ineos also supply swimwear?

But that comes then probably only in winter.

Received the same email. I clicked on the tracking LINK and said it was delivered a couple of weeks ago. Guess all the mails were in a pending mailbox that is now active after someone has come back from holidays.
