Men's Jacket 24h Le Mans SHELBY-LM SHEEP CROWN GITANES / ECRU
Product Description
The blouson that carries the spirit of Le Mans 1966.
This is not just a leather jacket—it’s a tribute to one of motorsport’s most legendary races. The SHELBY-LM SHEEP CROWN GITANES / ECRU from Classic Legend Motors captures the essence of the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, an event that has inspired films, dreams, and generations of racing enthusiasts. Crafted from supple sheep leather, it blends the raw energy of vintage racing with the refined elegance of a modern classic.
A colourway steeped in racing history.
The GITANES / ECRU shade is a direct nod to the iconic Matra blue of the Gitanes-sponsored cars that dominated the track in the 1960s. This understated yet striking hue is paired with vintage patches that pay homage to the race’s heritage, while racing-style topstitching and panelled construction reinforce its motorsport DNA. The result? A blouson that looks as fast as it feels.
Designed for those who appreciate the finer details.

Caring for your leather
This product is made of sheepskin leather. Sheep is a skin very similar to lamb. It is the age of the beast that will change the name of the leather. The leather is therefore fine, soft and light as well.
You will just need to waterproof the skin once and renew it from time to time, depending on how often you wear your leather. You can also use a delicate cream to give a new shine to your product.
