The race suit that draped the greatest Formula 1, Indy & Le Mans drivers of all time throughout racing's most dangerous era of all time.

The off-white Simpson & Hinchman of Indianapolis race suits are synonymous with motorsport's glorious 1960s era, and were worn by countless F1 legends throughout racing’s danger days, from Mario Andretti, to James Hunt, Nikki Lauda, Jim Clark, Jochen Rindt, Jacky Ickx and so many more.

Back then there was a gentleman’s elegance to the drivers, like James Bond in a race suit. The risks were incredibly high and the cars relentlessly unforgiving. It was an era that lived right on the knife’s edge, where driving intuition alone could only get you so far. You had to be able to stare fear straight in its eyes, while going toe to toe with the car itself lap after lap. In the end, if it wasn’t the fear that killed you, it was some freak accident. Each race was a gamble, and too many lost everything to the house.

The Gold Leaf Racing hoodie is a nod to one legend in particular - Graham Hill and his Championship-winning 1968 Formula 1 season.

Still regarded today as one of the greatest talents in motorsports history, Hill's prestigious title as the only driver to have ever brought home the Triple Crown of Motorsport by winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans, an Indianapolis 500 and the Formula One World Championship remains unmatched - even 50 years later.

It is designed to be worn and to naturally distress over time.

Will it shrink in the wash?
It will not shrink if you follow the wash instructions outlined on the inseam tag (wash cold, hang/flat dry). If you wish to shrink it down a little though, you may wash cold and tumble dry on low heat.

Does it come with stickers?
All hoodie orders include a variety of stickers from our motorsports collection.

Why preorder?
Since we produce our own garments from the ground up and in small batches, we limit each release so that we have enough pieces on hand. We do not use off-the-shelf blanks, and thus we are not able to oversell.

SUPPORTING THE PARC FERMÉ FOUNDATION

A portion from each item sold goes directly towards our Non-profit - the 'Parc Fermé Foundation' - where we're on a mission of sending young race fans on race experiences, with the focus being on young fans who are battling difficult challenges that life has thrown their way, or who just wouldn’t have the means to make it to the race if not for a foundation like us stepping in.

It’s by the Motorsports community for the Motorsports community, for those that are young and call the community their home, but due to their circumstances they’ve very often been on the outside looking in.
