RIP Belstaff?

[Danamr]

From their web site, they are now in Italy, and no longer making motorcycle wear. (At least any that I can find.) All they seem to be making are Retro Trial Masters type jackets.
What do you hear in England?

Sounds like Bye Bye Belstaff then. I can't believe they are serious about withdrawing from the market for a year and coming back later - just doesn't make sense, neither does the reason for not carrying on selling the 2004 range.

A friend of mine has a wholesale motorcycle clothing business and he reckons the trade is dead and margins are really getting squeezed.

Looks like they still make flying jackets...

As ever, it's the old performance vs product placement conundrum.
