The is a replica jacket based on the leathers Marc Marquez raced in during his 2016 season with the Repsol Honda Team. Marquez took his third MotoGP title that year, clinching it at the Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi, according to Wikipedia. The jacket carries the race livery into a piece that works on and off the bike. This guide covers the design, the construction, the protection described in the listing, and how to choose a fit.
Key Takeaways
- The jacket is a replica based on Marc Marquez's 2016 Repsol Honda race leathers, not team equipment.
- It is listed in 1.2 to 1.3 mm drum-dyed cowhide with pre-curved sleeves and Cordura stretch panels.
- The listing states removable CE Level 2 armour at shoulders and elbows under EN 1621-1:2012.
- Standard sizes and made-to-measure options are listed, and a rider can choose a speed hump and the perforation level.
Why the Jacket Is More Than Merchandise
Marquez raced under number 93 for the Repsol Honda Team and won the 2016 MotoGP title, his third in the premier class. The jacket follows that season's livery in orange, metallic blue, red and white. Leather Collection is not affiliated with the rider, Honda or Repsol, and the jacket is a replica made for fans and riders who want the race look in a wearable cut.
Design and Construction
- Leather: 1.2 to 1.3 mm drum-dyed cowhide, hand-stitched, with safety-reinforced seams.
- Cut: pre-curved sleeves for the riding posture and Cordura stretch panels at the sleeves.
- Hardware: YKK semi-auto-lock zippers.
- Lining: 100% polyester mesh lining with an inner mesh chest pocket.
Protection and What the Standards Mean
The listing states removable CE Level 2 armour at the shoulders and elbows under EN 1621-1:2012, and compatibility with a removable spine protector to EN 1621-2. According to SATRA, EN 1621-1 covers limb joint protectors and EN 1621-2 covers back protectors; in both, a lower transmitted force means a more protective product. The listing adds TPU-reinforced metal shoulder protectors and elbow sliders. These are the maker's statements, so check the marking on the protectors supplied. No jacket removes the risk of injury in a crash.
Fit, Break-In and Care
- Fit: a snug fit across the shoulders and chest keeps the armour in place, while the pre-curved sleeves leave room to reach the bars.
- Break-in: leather feels stiffer at first and softens with wear as it moulds to the body.
- Care: follow the care label and the maker's instructions; wipe off dust and road grime, and whether a conditioner is suitable depends on the finish and construction of the leather.
- Styling: the jacket pairs with jeans and boots on the street.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Marc Marquez and what happened in 2016?
Marc Marquez is a Spanish rider who raced for the Repsol Honda Team and rode number 93. In 2016 he won his third MotoGP title, clinching it at the Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi after his two nearest rivals both crashed out. He stayed with the factory Honda team until 2023.
Is this the jacket Marquez wore?
No. It is a replica based on the 2016 Repsol Honda livery, made by Leather Collection without affiliation to the rider, Honda or Repsol. The colours follow the season, but the cut and construction are the maker's own and suit both riding and everyday wear.
What protection does the listing state?
The listing states removable CE Level 2 armour at the shoulders and elbows under EN 1621-1:2012, and a fit for a removable spine protector to EN 1621-2. These are the standards the parts are described against, and no jacket prevents injury in a crash.
How should the leather be looked after?
Follow the care label or the maker's instructions. The right product, if any, depends on the leather finish and construction; test it on a hidden area first. Expect some stiffness at first, because the leather softens and moulds to the wearer with use.
