This suit has a name on it — and a story behind it. Hand-stitched by ABC Custom Leathers in the UK, worn by speedway rider John Fiddes, race number 85, competing on JAWA machinery in the 1960s. Bold yellow, deep red and ivory stripes built for visibility on cinder and shale — the colours of someone who meant business on the track.

The leather carries authentic patina and the honest marks of real racing use. Small cracks, genuine wear throughout. Jacket and trousers sold as a set — they belong together.

A traceable piece of British speedway history. There is nothing else like it.

A one-off vintage piece. Selected for its character and longevity.
Each piece is unique. No restocks once sold.

  • Vintage leather products should be hung in dry places and receive regular care to avoid cracking.
  • Important: We assume no responsibility for damage caused by wearing or washing the products.
