RITA GREEN: A racing-inspired leather jacket with a rebellious twist

The RITA GREEN leather jacket is a bold reinterpretation of the classic racing silhouette, designed for those who appreciate the fusion of motorsport heritage and contemporary edge. Crafted from supple sheep leather in a striking khaki green, this piece channels the spirit of legendary endurance races while offering a modern, versatile cut. The jacket’s regular fit and moto-inspired collar pay homage to the fearless riders of the past, yet its clean lines and understated details make it a timeless addition to any wardrobe.

A material that tells a story

Sheep leather is the heart of this jacket, chosen for its unique balance of softness and durability. Unlike heavier cowhide, sheep leather drapes effortlessly, moulding to the body while retaining a subtle structure. Its fine grain and natural suppleness make it ideal for year-round wear—light enough for spring and autumn, yet substantial enough to layer over knits in cooler months. Over time, the khaki hue will develop a rich patina, deepening in tone and character with each wear, ensuring the jacket evolves alongside its owner.

Designed for movement, built for style

The RITA GREEN jacket is cut with a regular fit, offering enough room for layering without sacrificing a tailored silhouette. The moto collar adds a touch of attitude, while the minimalist design keeps the focus on the leather’s natural beauty. Whether paired with jeans and boots for a casual weekend look or thrown over a dress for an unexpected contrast, this jacket adapts effortlessly to any setting. It’s a piece that doesn’t just follow trends—it sets them.

Classic Legend Motors isn’t just a brand; it’s a tribute to the golden age of motorsport. Specialising in leather jackets that draw inspiration from racing legends, the label blends vintage aesthetics with modern manufacturing. Each piece is designed to evoke the thrill of the track while standing the test of time, much like the iconic machines that inspired them.
