Le Mans Classic

If you think of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, there's a handful of names that spring to mind which are inextricably linked with the world's greatest endurance motor racing event. These automotive legends include Aston Martin, Porsche and Ford. Otway & Orford have collaborated with some of the greatest living automotive artists to create striking men's pocket square designs inspired by these legends. 

The 'Victory at Last' pocket square features John Ketchell's painting inspired by Aston Martin's outright win at Le Mans 66 years ago, thanks to the DBR1 of Carroll Shelby and Roy Salvadori. 'Racing Legends 292' uses Markus Haub's artwork inspired by the iconic Porsche 911, a feature of Le Mans since the launch of the car in the 1960s, to create a vibrant pocket square design. Finally, 'Muscle Car' showcases Toby Wilkinson's artwork inspired by the Ford Mustang, creating an eye-catching silk pocket square. 

Cars from all three of Aston Martin, Porsche and Ford, amongst many other famous names, will be present as Le Mans Classic returns from 3rd to 6th July.

Started in 2002 by Peter Auto, working together with the Automobile Club de l'Ouest, Le Mans Classic is a rolling history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The biannual gathering has grown in size and popularity to become the largest get together of classic cars in the world. Over 700 racing cars and 8000 classic cars plus shows and events will help take visitors back to famous moments in Le Mans’ past during the four days of Le Mans Classic this July.

Gentlemen, start your engines!

'Victory at Last' and 'Racing Legends 292' are both available in full-size (£75) and medium-size (£55). 'Muscle Car' is available in full-size.
