Default Best Place to Buy Corvette Apparel?

I'm interested in getting some Corvette women's apparel - would appreciate recommendations of where you've had good luck with quality, fits true to size, good selection, etc. Thanks!

I have to agree - the Corvette Museum has some really nice stuff in their store.

I carry all sorts of Corvette branded apparel on my web site - link in my signature below.

I ran a special a couple of months ago on a distressed t-shirt with C5 and C6 logos in four different colors. Many members here bought a couple - it's a real nice soft shirt that runs true to size. Priced right, too!







They are all $19.95 each....

Unfortunately - I've not found many C5 specific women's shirts. Most if not all of the shirts that I've found either have the C6 logo on them or just have the word "CORVETTE" on them in some generic font, written in glitter.

I've sold the shirt I posted pics of to a couple of women, and they seem to like them. The shirt is available in a wide range of sizes, so in reality it can easily be worn by a man or a woman. I know my wife really liked the first shirt I brought home....enough that she claimed it for herself.

Here's a question for you. How come so many of the shirts have the pics on the front? I prefer them on the back, but they're getting hard to find. I like the middle shirts with the multi Vettes on, but if the pic was in the back I'd probably order it. Don't like front design shirts.

What's not obvious from the photo of this shirt is that it's silk screened with the images of the C6's - and it has the C6 logo embroidered on the left breast.

I can't really give you an answer why there are so few shirts with images on the back and not on the front - I have several shirts that have a small logo on the front left breast and a larger complimenting one on the back. Then I have some that have only a small logo on the breast and that's it....similar to a golf shirt.

I don't know why the people who design these shirts specify them one way or another. This business, like almost everything else we buy today is strictly market driven - they will make whatever sells the most. As a vendor - I buy what I think will sell, sometimes I guess correctly, and sometimes I don't.

Sorry you are unable to find a shirt that appeals to you.

Try www.mamotorworks.com. They have quite a bit of apparel also, and lots of parts for your little white ride!

Thanks for all the suggestions - I found the best selection for women's apparel at www.zip-corvette.com.

Randy @ HRW - I bookmarked your site for other supplies - thanks!

I'm not a fan of the big catalog part stores but mamotorworks has a very nice selection of women's clothing as well as corvette museum.
