Marc Marquez and Ducati in 2024
For the 2024 season Marquez moved from Honda to Gresini Ducati. According to Crash.net, he raced a year-old Ducati Desmosedici GP23 on a one-year deal, the same generation of bike used by his brother Alex at Gresini. The move gave the 2024 season its interest: a multiple world champion on a different manufacturer, in a satellite team.
The story continued in 2025. MotoGP.com reports that Marquez won the 2025 MotoGP World Championship with the Ducati Lenovo Team, his seventh premier-class crown, clinched at the Japanese Grand Prix on 28 September 2025. That is part of why 2024 is remembered as the start of the Ducati chapter, and why fans still look for gear from that year, such as the .
What a Replica Jacket Means
A replica jacket takes its colors, layout and details from what a rider wore, without being team or manufacturer merchandise. The Leather Collection jacket is inspired by Marquez and Ducati and is not official team or rider merchandise. Riders looking at related race-inspired pieces can browse and .
What to Check in a Racing-Style Leather Jacket
Leather and construction
Thicker leather generally resists abrasion longer, while thinner leather is more flexible, so many race jackets combine both. Check the product page for leather type and thickness, the stitching at seams and the type of zip. Stretch panels at the shoulders and elbows help movement in the riding position.
Armor and standards
Armor is tested separately from the shell. EN 1621-1 covers limb protectors such as shoulders and elbows, and as Wikipedia summarizes, Level 1 limb protectors must transmit a mean below 35 kN with no single value over 50 kN in the test, and Level 2 a mean below 20 kN. The jacket itself may carry an EN 17092 class for abrasion, tear and seam strength; this guide does not confirm armor or class for this jacket, so check its product page. The product page, not the marketing name, shows which armor and class are fitted. Armor reduces the force of an impact. It does not prevent injury.
Fit and ventilation
Racing-style jackets are cut close, so the size chart and adjusters at the cuffs, waist and collar matter. Jackets with perforated panels or vents breathe better in summer, while solid leather is warmer. Leather Collection makes its pieces to order and has done so since 2009, so measurements and sizing questions are worth raising before ordering.
Caring for a Red Leather Jacket
- Follow the label: follow the care label or the maker's instructions; the right cleaner or conditioner depends on the finish and construction. Test on a hidden spot.
- Store well: keep it in a cool, dry place out of long direct sun, and away from rain and heat.
- Inspect: check seams, zips and armor pockets at the elbows and shoulders, where friction is highest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Marc Marquez Ducati jacket official team merchandise?
No. It is a replica inspired by the 2024 season. It is not affiliated with Marc Marquez, Ducati or any team. The design borrows colors and layout from what he wore, which is what a replica means. Official team merchandise is sold through the teams and series themselves.
Which team did Marc Marquez ride for in 2024?
Marquez rode for Gresini Racing, a satellite Ducati team, on a Ducati Desmosedici GP23 after leaving Honda. In 2025 he moved to the factory Ducati Lenovo Team and won the world championship. The 2024 season is therefore the first year of his Ducati era.
What does CE Level 2 armor mean on a jacket?
Level 2 refers to the EN 1621 impact test. For limb protectors such as shoulders and elbows, Level 2 requires a mean below 20 kN , against a mean below 35 kN with no single value over 50 kN for Level 1, so less force reaches the body in the test. It is a lab measurement and does not mean injuries are prevented in a crash.
How should a red leather jacket be cleaned?
Follow the care label or the maker's instructions; the right cleaner or conditioner depends on the finish and construction, so test on a hidden spot first. Dry it away from direct heat, store it in a cool, dry place, and keep it out of prolonged sun and rain. Check seams and armor pockets for wear.
