FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The Kevin Schwantz 1988 Pepsi Suzuki racing jacket is made from 1.2–1.3 mm cowhide leather with a drum-dyed milled finish. This thickness and process deliver race-grade durability and abrasion resistance — essential for track riding and crash protection. The drum-dyed milling process creates a uniform surface that resists scuffing and maintains colour depth through aggressive use. Cowhide leather race-grade construction has been the industry standard for MotoGP replica suits since the 1980s because of its tensile strength and tear resistance. sizing This answer applies to the Kevin Schwantz 1988 MotoGP jacket on this page.
To order a custom-fitted jacket, select Custom Size from the product options Size, then complete the checkout process. After your order is confirmed, you'll receive an order number. Submit your body measurements via the measurement form using that order number. Our team will review your measurements and contact you if clarification is needed. Once your specifications are confirmed, your jacket enters production and ships in 4–6 weeks from spec confirmation. Standard sizes (Men: XS–XXL; Women: XXS–XL) ship faster — 10–15 working days from order confirmation — if you prefer not to customise fit. Custom sizing ensures the pre-curved sleeves and armour placement align perfectly with your body geometry for maximum comfort and protection on track.
Yes. The jacket includes removable CE Level 2 armour at the shoulders and elbows (certified to EN 1621-1:2012) and a removable spine/back protector (certified to EN 1621-2). All armour is removable, so you can customise placement or swap in aftermarket protectors if preferred. The left-side inner mesh chest pocket accommodates additional armour for enhanced protection. CE Level 2 certification means the armour has been tested to absorb and distribute impact energy across a defined force threshold — the standard for professional racing and track-day use. The removable design allows you to adjust protection density based on your riding style and the track environment. Armour is included with the jacket; no additional purchase is required.
Yes. The blue, red, and white Pepsi Suzuki livery on the Kevin Schwantz 1988 MotoGP jacket is documented from Kevin Schwantz's 1988 MotoGP season with Suzuki. The 1988 season is a well-documented historical period in racing, and the Pepsi sponsor livery is iconic and instantly recognisable to collectors and fans. The colorway matches period-accurate photographs and racing documentation from that season. If you're a Kevin Schwantz fan or vintage MotoGP collector, this replica captures the authentic visual identity of one of the most memorable Suzuki GP campaigns. The colour options available (blue, red, white) reflect the dominant Pepsi brand colours used on Schwantz's race suit during that year.
Lead time depends on whether you choose a standard size or made-to-measure custom fit. Standard sizes (Men: XS–XXL; Women: XXS–XL) ship in 10–15 working days from order confirmation — no custom measurement required. Made-to-measure custom sizing takes longer: once you submit your measurements via the measurement form, your jacket ships in 4–6 weeks from spec confirmation. The additional time allows our craftspeople to hand-stitch your jacket to your exact body measurements and armour preferences. All jackets are made-to-order — there is no stock inventory. If you need the jacket urgently, select a standard size. For a precision fit that maximizes comfort and protection on track, custom sizing is worth the 4–6 week lead time.
