How to recognize an original Belstaff jacket

How to recognize an original Belstaff jacket

The trendy jackets from Belstaff are of course among the most popular leather jackets ever. Unfortunately, even the counterfeiters have recognized this potential and used it for themselves. Many sites on the Internet do not offer original Belstaff products, but caution is also required in stationary trade. In this article, we will show you by which characteristics you can recognize plagiarism.

Original Belstaff-Logo

The original Belstaff logo depicts a rising phoenix, characteristically reflecting the history of the label, namely to ensure the continued existence of the company in both good and bad times. Take the original logo from the official website and compare it with the characteristic phoenix and check if the label looks like this on your product. Although the lettering is usually placed under the logo, in some cases it can happen that only the phoenix is shown or that the inscription “Belstaff” is placed above or next to the phoenix.

Metal elements (Original Belstaff)

Belstaff Metallknöpfe

Of course, almost all original Belstaff jackets have metal applications and this is not only necessary because of the functionality but can also give you an important hint if they are original or fake products. If your jacket has metal applications such as metal buttons, you should always make sure that these are engraved with the logo or brand name. Also, take a closer look at the zipper. Belstaff’s zippers are usually based on the handlebars and pedals of motorcycles, and this should also be visible on your jacket.

Sleeves

Many, but not all Belstaff jackets have the logo on the sleeve. If this is also the case with your product, make sure that this is placed on the left side. If you find the logo on the right sleeve of your jacket, this is a clear indication that it is not an original.

Online Shops

Unfortunately, there are many online shops that advertise Belstaff products, but actually, only offer fakes. As so often, you can already tell from the text on the page if it is a serious site. As soon as you find a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes, you should immediately move your mouse pointer to the “X”. Belstaff also offers a store finder on their website, where you can check if the site is officially recognized.

We hope that these tips will help you to avoid falling into the trap of counterfeiters. By the way, you can find more interesting fake checks in our journal under the heading Fake.
