Belstaff has announced the launch of the James Hunt 40th Anniversary collection, to commemorate his Formula One Championship Win at Fuji, Japan in 1976. Created in collaboration with his sons Tom and Freddie, the capsule collection comprises six exclusive pieces referencing Belstaff’s historical outerwear pieces and Hunt’s iconic red race suit with the white horizontal stitching, while also influenced by the racing colours of Hunt’s Hesketh car. In hand-waxed leather there are two key styles: a four-pocket belted jacket with quilting details on the shoulder and a second shorter shape with two chest pockets. Both formats are lined in the style of Hunt’s iconic race suit, being red with white vertical stitching. A new soya wax cotton has been introduced on a short café-racer blouson, making it an easy-to-wear everyday style. To accompany the outerwear there is a polo and T-shirt in pop colours with a racer strip on the former, while both carry reproductions of Hunt’s signature. To complete the look, there are also straight-legged black denim jeans.The collection lands in stores late May and launches online today.
