Get the Classic Biker Look with Belstaff’s Steve McQueen Trialmaster Jacket

Steve McQueen remains one of the world’s most iconic figures not only in the world of films but also in motorbikes and - perhaps not intentionally of his own design – also a highly revered individual in the world of men’s fashion too. Belstaff, (for many years undeniably one of the world leading manufacturers of designer leather jackets) re-released the Steve McQueen Trialmaster jacket back in 2007 as a dedication to the man and the legend that is Steve McQueen. The jacket’s design epitomizes McQueen’s adventurous spirit and lust for life - paying homage to what is surely one of the all time classic biker jacket designs – the Trialmaster is essentially a modern day revival of a model worn by the superstar on a 6 day trial event in Germany during the 1960s. The jacket also utilizes some pretty unique and impressive modern technology integrated into the jacket alongside its classic retro design. The PCM fabric is sensitive to the body temperature of the wearer – thereby becoming warmer when the body becomes colder and vice versa.
