Full diamond-quilt reinforcement across the shoulders and upper sleeves gives the jacket real presence — powerful even in everyday wear — while the long sleeve lines against the short, wide body visually lengthen the figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the IMOLA, made in black oiled-wax calfskin: a soft, waxy hide with a deep natural sheen that grows richer with every wear. It was featured in \u003cem\u003eLightning\u003c\/em\u003e, Japan's leading heritage-casual magazine, as a standout piece from Shanghai's Real Simons.

Mallory Park's tight, oval-inspired layout rewarded bravery, and every autumn it hosted the \"Race of the Year\" — an international invitation event that drew the greatest names in road racing. The original 1963 and 1964 programmes, with their bold MALLORY PARK lettering and the \u003cem\u003eMotor Cycle\u003c\/em\u003e magazine masthead, are the documents we kept on the wall while designing this jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn those years, the paddock was a place of leather and oil. British racing jackets were cut slim and functional, built for the crouch of the riding position, reinforced where a rider needed it most — shoulders, elbows, forearms — then worn for years until their surfaces carried the map of every ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the MALLORY we set out to restore that 1960s–70s vintage racing feel — not as a museum piece, but as a jacket you would actually reach for. We kept the slim British base, then re-proportioned it for the way leather is worn today: broader shoulders, a shorter body, and that deliberate riding sleeve length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IMOLA model carries a story of its own. It was featured in \u003cem\u003eLightning\u003c\/em\u003e — Japan's definitive heritage-casual magazine — in a feature on Shanghai's rising amekaji brands. Real Simons was founded in 2017 on the production heritage of a leather factory established in 1984, and the IMOLA is the racing spirit of that lineage, cut in black oiled-wax calfskin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUpgrades \u0026amp; Adjustments\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShoulder \u0026amp; body re-proportion\u003c\/strong\u003e：Wider shoulders and a shortened body over the slim British base — a stronger, more modern line that keeps the racing-jacket heritage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiamond-quilt reinforcement\u003c\/strong\u003e：Full quilted panels on the shoulders and upper sleeves make the shoulder line more pronounced — the jacket reads powerful even in everyday wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve length\u003c\/strong\u003e：Kept slightly longer than the standard cut as a functional holdover from the originals, shielding the forearms from wind when reaching for the bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProportion payoff\u003c\/strong\u003e：The contrast of long sleeve lines against the short, wide body visually raises the figure — a silhouette built to flatter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"REAL SIMONS","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ S \/ Oiled-wax calfskin","offer_id":67660010618982,"sku":null,"price":584.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ M \/ Oiled-wax calfskin","offer_id":67660010651750,"sku":null,"price":584.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L \/ Oiled-wax calfskin","offer_id":67660010684518,"sku":null,"price":584.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL \/ Oiled-wax calfskin","offer_id":67660010717286,"sku":null,"price":584.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 2XL \/ Oiled-wax calfskin","offer_id":67660010750054,"sku":null,"price":584.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 3XL \/ Oiled-wax calfskin","offer_id":67660010782822,"sku":null,"price":584.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/7536\/8038\/files\/mallory-british-racing-jacket-imola-black-oiled-wax-calfskin-01-front.jpg?v=1791441181","url":"https:\/\/realsimons.com\/products\/mallory-british-racing-jacket","provider":"REAL SIMONS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
