Ewan McGregors Jacket from Long Way Down
28 November 2008
The toughest touring jacket ever made - probably!
When Belstaff made a commitment to provide the clothing for Ewan and Charley on their Long Way Down trip failure quite simply was not an option. Of course they could have weighed up the risks like KTM did with the first trip and walked away but they had confidence in their ability to produce a world class product so like BMW they hopped on board for the ride.
Belstaff knew that the world1s eyes would be on their clothing. It had to look good be practical take everything the boys could throw at it and bring them home safely. This was a no expense spared exercise; the clothing had to exceed every current standard. It had to be the best. Well it worked. The two intrepid adventurers were delighted with their outfits which never let them down once.And so in recognition of their achievement Belstaff has created an extremely limited edition of jackets which are identical in every respect to the one worn on the trip. We were originally told that jacket would be available in both the colours worn by Charley and Ewan but for some reason Charley1s brown jacket will not make it to the UK. The only version we will see over here is the grey one worn by Ewan.
There1s some good news and there1s some bad on the jackets. The good news is that the jackets are available today. We have a sizeable quantity right here in our warehouse. The bad news is that less than 50 pieces have made it to the UK. You1ll need to move quickly.
