Japanese automaker Honda has unveiled a limited-edition clothing line modeled after the company's 1983 F1 Racing Team uniform.
Dubbed the '1983 F1 Collection,' the concise new capsule was designed by Honda Vintage Culture -- Honda's subsidiary apparel brand that focuses on reviving retro looks. In total, the capsule consists of eight items, all of which are custom-made, 100% authentic, and come dressed in the red, white, and blue color scheme taken from the iconic HCR race livery.
The collection includes a quilted team jacket, a matching puffer vest, a short-sleeve henley, a zip-up team jacket, a polo shirt, and an HRC-colored hoodie. All of the items are made from premium materials and feature elements such as bespoke patches and zipper pulls.
