Marc Marquez 93 Honda Repsol Black Jacket

The Marc Marquez 93 Honda Repsol Black Jacket 2017 from Leather Collection is a black racing-style jacket inspired by Marc Marquez and the Repsol Honda Team in 2017, the season he won his fourth MotoGP title. This guide covers that season, what the jacket references and what to check in any leather riding jacket.

Marc Marquez and the 2017 Season

Marquez won the 2017 MotoGP riders' championship with the Repsol Honda Team, his sixth world title and fourth in the premier class, as recorded on the 2017 MotoGP season page. His earlier titles came in 125cc in 2010, Moto2 in 2012 and MotoGP in 2013, 2014 and 2016, according to his Wikipedia biography. Riders who follow his career can browse Marc Marquez gear , which includes pieces from several seasons.

About the Jacket

The jacket combines a black base with Repsol and Honda branding in the style of the 2017 team look. It is a replica inspired by the team and rider, made to order and hand-stitched by Leather Collection. Riders who want to compare seasons can look at the Marquez Repsol Honda 2016 jacket , and boots in the same theme are listed as Marc Marquez Honda boots .

Armour and Fit Checks

Leather resists abrasion in a slide but needs armour for impact. Shoulder and elbow protectors are tested under EN 1621-1, which grades them Level 1 or Level 2 by how much force is transmitted to the wearer; Level 2 allows less. Back protectors fall under EN 1621-2. Which armour and lining come with this jacket should be confirmed on its product page rather than assumed; the page may not list any armour.

• Seated fit: try the riding position with arms forward and check the sleeves stay over the wrists.
• Layering: leave room for a thin layer underneath without pulling across the shoulders.
• Closures: collar and cuffs should close snugly against wind.

Wearing and Styling

The black finish and team graphics work with jeans or riding pants, boots and gloves. Riders who prefer a plainer look can compare MotoGP replica jackets for other race-style options.

Caring for the Jacket

• Follow the garment's care label or the maker's instructions; the right product and frequency depend on the leather and finish, so ask the maker before conditioning.
• As general practice, let a damp jacket dry naturally away from radiators and direct heat, and keep leather ventilated rather than sealed in plastic.

Final Thoughts

For similar styling, the Race range collects racing jackets. As with any riding jacket, the points that count are fit in the riding position, the armour that can be fitted and the care the leather receives.
