Alpinestars Made Jackets From Crashed MotoGP Race Suits

Most riders patch up track rash or leave worn gear in the closet. Alpinestars took a different route by turning real crashed MotoGP race suits into collector jackets.

The brand's premium label, RSRV, produced eight collectible jackets repurposed directly from authentic leathers worn and crashed in by MotoGP racers. The collection went on display at boutique retailer Maxfield Los Angeles on November 13, 2026, ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Each jacket keeps its original CE internal armor and every scuff from the pavement. Every piece also comes with official provenance paperwork that confirms the specific rider and the exact circuit where the leathers hit the asphalt.

For riders and racing fans in Los Angeles, California, the capsule bridges protective gear and collector culture by turning battle-damaged Grand Prix leathers into documented wearable art.

Would you wear a jacket that went down in a Grand Prix race, or should scuffed leathers stay in the garage?
