For the Range Rover owner who has everything, there comes something very special and extremely limited that you won’t want to shrug your shoulders at; a bespoke jacket.

Land Rover’s Chief Creative Officer, Professor Gerry McGovern, has designed a special fabric to celebrate 50 years of Range Rover, and has partnered up with one of Savile Row’s founding tailors.

Henry Poole & Co have produced only 120 metres of the lambswool fabric, enough to make 50 bespoke jackets for Range Rover’s landmark anniversary.

The fabric is inspired by the exterior paint colours of the original 1970 Range Rover: Tuscan Blue, Bahama Gold and Davos White have been combined to create a new twist on the classic dog-tooth check fabric.

The same colours are available for the first time in 35 years on the limited-edition Range Rover Fifty. Limited to 1970 units globally, it celebrates half a century of pioneering innovation, peerless refinement and unparalleled all-terrain capability.

“Both Henry Poole and Range Rover have a unique heritage and the ability to create highly desirable products,” said McGovern.“The exclusivity of both the Henry Poole jacket and the Range Rover Fifty edition make it a rarity which is something that appeals to both Henry Poole and Range Rover customers.”

As for Henry Poole’s managing director, Simon Cundey, the change to work with McGovern was a “fantastic opportunity”.

“The cloth has been inspired by a heritage colourway featuring a Tuscan Blue lining and Bahama Gold under-collar, yet designed to have a modern casual twist, which can also be worn with timeless elegance. The comfort that comes with Henry Poole pure bespoke completes the pinnacle of Savile Row tailoring,” said Cundey.

But if you want a vehicle to fit your jacket, there is the Range Rover Fifty that is based on the luxuriously appointed Autobiography with bespoke exterior accents in Auric Atlas as well as two unique 22-inch wheel designs. 

The badging has a handwritten ‘Fifty’ script created by Gerry McGovern, which will appear on the exterior of the vehicle and throughout the interior on the unique ‛1 of 1970’ centre console commissioning plaque, headrests, dashboard and illuminated tread plates.

With its clamshell bonnet, distinctive floating roof, split tailgate and trademark front fender vents, the Range Rover of today can still trace its roots back to the 1970 original. In its golden anniversary year it is now the most efficient, connected, luxurious and capable yet.

For those wanting to own an original 1970s model, the Range Rover Reborn programme offers prospective customers the unique opportunity to purchase a highly collectible original Range Rover in authentic colours, including Bahama Gold and Tuscan Blue.
