Freddie Spencer Leather Jacket

The three

• The Honda Daytona 1985 jacket is the earliest.
• The Rothmans Honda GP 1986 jacket is the Honda design with the most recognizable name here.
• The Yamaha vintage jacket from GP 1989 is the one to pick if you want to step away from Honda.

Details and options

The shell is 1.2-1.3 mm cowhide, hand-stitched to order. Armour pockets at the shoulders, elbows and back take armour; CE Level 1 shoulder and elbow armour is included and Level 2 is a paid upgrade. Inside are a snap patch pocket and a zip pocket. A waist zip joins compatible pants, and the jackets work with an air vest.

The back can be flat or raised: none, standard, ventilated or hydro. Perforation goes on the chest, front or the full jacket, or you can leave it off. Look at side views to judge the profile.

Choosing a size

Standard sizes are men's EU 42-60 and women's EU 38-52. Custom Size uses chest, waist, sleeve and torso measurements; the made-to-measure page explains it. Compare torso length too, not just chest.

Jacket or suit?

If you mostly ride on the road, the jacket is the more practical purchase. If you want the whole vintage race look, the Freddie Spencer race suits go further. See the size chart before ordering.
