FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
This jacket replicates the Repsol Honda colorway and race-fit construction that Mick Doohan wore during the 1997 MotoGP season. The documented livery—Red, Repsol Blue, and White—matches the factory Honda race team specification from that year. Hand-stitched made-to-order construction since 2009 ensures each jacket is built to the same protection and material spec as Doohan's race suit: 1.2–1.3 mm drum-dyed cowhide leather, pre-curved sleeves, YKK hardware, and removable CE Level 2 armour. Serious collectors and track-day riders choose this replica for its season-accurate detail and authentic race-grade construction. This answer applies to the Mick Doohan 1997 MotoGP jacket on this page.
The Mick Doohan jacket uses 1.2–1.3 mm drum-dyed cowhide leather—the same thickness specification as professional race suits. Thickness is critical because it directly affects abrasion resistance during a slide. At 1.2–1.3 mm, cowhide leather provides enough material density to resist tearing and puncturing while remaining flexible enough for the pre-curved riding position. Thinner leather (under 1.1 mm) fails faster; thicker leather (over 1.5 mm) reduces mobility. The drum-dyed finish adds colour saturation and durability without compromising the leather's natural tensile strength. This thickness has been the race-grade standard for MotoGP replica construction for over 15 years.
Yes. Made-to-measure custom sizing is available for the Mick Doohan jacket. Select Custom Size from the product options Size, complete the checkout process. Submit your body measurements via the measurement form using your order number; your Mick Doohan 1997 MotoGP jacket ships in 4–6 weeks from spec confirmation. Standard sizes (Men: EU 42–60, XS–XXL; Women: EU 38–50, XXS–XL) ship in 10–15 working days from order confirmation. Custom-built items follow the policy at return & replacement. Hand-stitched made-to-order construction ensures a race-fit silhouette tailored to your body.
The Mick Doohan jacket includes removable CE Level 2 armour (EN 1621-1:2012) at the shoulders and elbows—the highest-contact zones during a slide. It also features a removable spine and back protector compatible with EN 1621-2 standards. Level 2 armour absorbs and distributes impact energy more effectively than Level 1, reducing the force transmitted to your body. These certifications are tested to European safety standards and are recognized across MotoGP, WSBK, and track-day racing worldwide. The armour is removable, so you can adjust protection based on your riding context—track racing or casual rides.
Drum-dyed cowhide leather requires minimal maintenance but benefits from regular conditioning. After each ride, wipe the jacket with a damp cloth to remove dust and salt residue. Once monthly, apply a leather conditioner (neutral or colour-matched) using a soft cloth, working it into the grain. Avoid harsh soaps and prolonged water exposure—the leather is treated for weather resistance but not waterproofing. Store the jacket on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the Repsol Blue and Red colorway. With proper care, 1.2–1.3 mm cowhide leather lasts 10+ years of regular track and road use. For detailed care guidance, contact our Help Center.
