Andrea Dovizioso rode the Ducati Desmosedici GP19 with the number 04 in the 2019 MotoGP season and finished second in the championship behind Marc Marquez, with two race wins, as recorded on Wikipedia.
The , available at Leather Collection, is a replica inspired by the red Ducati look of that season. Leather Collection has made hand-stitched, made-to-order leather gear since 2009.
Key Takeaways
- The jacket is a replica inspired by Dovizioso's 2019 Ducati livery.
- The product page lists 1.2 to 1.3 mm drum-dyed cowhide and removable shoulder and elbow armour described as CE Level 2; the order form offers CE Level 2 as an add-on, so check the option chosen.
- The product page lists a removable spine protector described as EN 1621-2 compatible; it does not document whether the jacket accepts a different insert, so the maker should be asked first.
- Speed hump, fit and mesh lining choices change comfort more than they change the look.
Dovizioso and the 2019 Ducati
finished the 2019 season as runner-up for the third year in succession. A replica jacket takes its cues from that season: a red base and a cut that suits a tucked riding position.
Materials and Construction
The product page lists drum-dyed cowhide leather of 1.2 to 1.3 mm, safety stitching, stretchable Cordura at the sleeves and calves, a 100% polyester mesh lining and pre-curved sleeves. Abrasion performance depends on the leather, the seams and the construction; the EN 17092 class on a garment label is the test-based indicator, and the page states none.
Protection Features
The product page lists removable armour at the shoulders and elbows described as CE Level 2 (EN 1621-1:2012), a removable spine protector described as compatible with EN 1621-2, and TPU elbow sliders. The order form also offers CE Level 2 (EN 1621-1:2012) as an add-on, so the armour level depends on the option chosen and the order form should be checked. The page does not state an EN 1621-2 level for the spine protector, and it names no test certificate. For EN 1621-1, SATRA gives the Level 1 limits as a mean maximum transmitted force below 35 kN with no single value over 50 kN; Level 2 is the stricter tier, with a mean below 20 kN. These figures describe the insert alone. Whole-garment classes under EN 17092 are a separate matter, and the product page states no EN 17092 class.
The page also lists TPU-reinforced metal shoulder protectors (no impact standard is stated for them), and speed hump options of none, standard, ventilated or hydro. Riders who want a full suit instead can look at the .
Fit and Comfort
Pre-curved sleeves follow the arm position on the handlebars, and the mesh lining helps with moisture. Made-to-measure sizing is available, which matters on a race cut because sleeve and torso length decide where the armour sits when the rider leans forward.
The 2019 Ducati Look
The product page describes a fluorescent red jacket matching the 2019 Ducati Corse livery. Riders putting together a matching kit can browse and the , whose product page lists road commuting alongside sport riding.
Final Thoughts
The Dovizioso 2019 jacket suits Ducati fans who want race styling with removable armour and a removable spine protector. Read the product page for the exact options before choosing size and hump.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this jacket the one Dovizioso wore in 2019?
No. It is a replica inspired by his 2019 Ducati livery. It is a separate garment made to order, so details such as the cut and the armour are those of the product page, not of the rider's own race leathers.
What does CE Level 2 armour mean?
CE here refers to impact protectors tested to EN 1621-1, the European standard for shoulder, elbow, knee and hip protectors. For these limb joint protectors, Level 2 is the stricter of the two levels: the mean force transmitted in the test must stay below 20 kN , against below 35 kN and 50 kN for Level 1. The level describes the insert alone, not the whole garment, and not every crash outcome.
Can a back protector be added to a race-style leather jacket?
Some jackets list a removable spine or back protector. The Dovizioso product page lists one described as EN 1621-2 compatible and does not document whether the jacket accepts a different insert, so the maker should be asked before any other protector is fitted. EN 1621-2 is the standard for back protectors; it has its own Level 1 and Level 2 limits, which cannot be compared with the limb-protector figures because the tests and set-up differ, and a lower figure for one protector type does not make it safer than the other.
Where do EN 17092 classes come into this?
EN 17092 classifies complete garments from Class AAA to Class C, with AAA and AA requiring impact protectors at elbows, shoulders, knees and hips. A jacket is only one part of a rider's kit, so a class applies to a garment that has been tested and marked as such. Check the label of the specific item.
