Corvette Aparrel
Anyone have any recommendations on where to find some decent Corvette clothing that isn't God awfully ugly? I've searched tons of sites on the internet, eBay, etc and it just seems like whoever designs these shirts, hats and jackets has a very poor sense of style... The stuff on most all of the sites are either way too busy looking or they look like they were designed in the 80s... I just want a simple windbreaker jacket with maybe the C6 flag logo on the one side of the chest.. Not jackets that look like a Nascar... Thanks.

For the love of Christ, don't be that guy at the car show decked out in solid Corvette swag head to toe standing next to your car on display, like your entire identity is to let everyone know that you own a corvette/your entire world evolves around it.
Don't get me wrong since I have some tasteful Jake skull embroidered polo shirts with just the Jake emblem, and unless you are part of the corvette crowd, most don't even know what the Jake racing emblem represents in the first place.
So keep it tasteful, and a little corvette swag on you at one time, goes a long,long way.

Exactly my point on looking for something subtle and not so busy. Most of the stuff I've found is something my grandfather would wear.. No offense to grandfather's in the forum of course.

Speaking of the 'Jake' emblem .... At a car show I went to last Sunday, there was some guy that had a late model Dodge Challenger with a pretty large 'Jake' sticker on the hood.
Not sure what this guy was thinking

I have a bunch of corvette shirts including a fancy one I bought at the Corvette Museum when picking up my car. Don't remember ever wearing them.
But I do love my white New Balance sneakers from Amazon!!

I created my own jacket, took a black Columbia light jacket had a seamstress add a C6 embroidered large flag on back and smaller ones on each arm. She did a good job I think, I like it a lot except it lacks pockets on the inside of the jacket...

I too prefer the subdued corvette look. I have bought from burston corvette apparel, but they have pretty much eliminated the C6 stuff and have moved on to c8. The one thing I always find amazing is that if you are wearing any corvette apparel, you come off looking like some sort of car nut nerd. But if you are wearing Harley boots, pants, shirt, vest, bandanna, jewelry, and tattoo all at the same time and drive a harley truck, that's okay and normal. I know people like this.
