Description
This original vintage Honda International Racing Team reversible jacket is a highly significant artifact from the institutional era of Japanese factory-backed motorsport. Issued under official Honda International Racing Team branding, this piece was designed for internal racing culture—staff, team affiliates, or limited promotional circulation—rather than public retail. The reversible construction immediately separates this jacket from standard motorsport outerwear. One side presents a clean, functional racing silhouette, while the reverse offers an alternate expression aligned with late-1990s to early-2000s teamwear experimentation. This duality reflects Honda’s transition period, when engineering precision began intersecting with lifestyle presentation. The cut, proportions, and material execution are consistent with authentic JDM racing garments produced before global motorsport branding became heavily commercialized. Pieces from this era prioritize function, durability, and identity over fashion trends, making surviving examples increasingly scarce within the archive market. HISTORY & RELATED INFLUENCE Honda’s international racing division represents decades of dominance across MotoGP, Formula racing, and endurance competition. Apparel issued under Honda International Racing Team branding is closely tied to active motorsport operations rather than consumer merchandise lines. Reversible team jackets from this period are rarely documented, as most were produced in limited numbers for internal use. Today, these garments are collected not only by motorsport historians but also by archive fashion buyers who value authentic engineering-driven design language over modern reinterpretations.
