Default Is it silly to want a Corvette jacket?

Ok so I just got my 2014 Z51 LT2 and love it. know i'm still in new corvette bliss mode but seriously considering buying a corvette jacket or shirt or something. Is it over the top silly to be in a corvette with a corvette jacket on? I would think not but please be honest... POLL: Do you wear corvette clothing?


Also if you do wear a corvette jacket any certain one (quality, price etc)?

I have 3 Corvette Racing Le Mans jackets (the last 3 years) and a couple of Corvette Racing hats.

I stopped worrying about what other people thought of what i was wearing back in High School.

I wear a Grand Sport hat -- outside the car. Wear what you want, when you want. You have a Vette now congratulations and enjoy the car and the lifestyle!

I wouldn't. The hat is a good idea though, but never, ever wear it when driving the car.

Hat, tee shirts, jacket no big deal wear what you want, they sell all the Corvette clothing so someone is buying it and wearing it. Perhaps not all the fashion gurus on the forum.
Check out the Corvette Museum for jackets, etc.

I have always had tee shirts, hoody, (not a hat guy) but don't necessarily wear them when driving at least consciously.

If it's nice why not. Love yourself. I would be more concerned about someone concerned about what you wear unless it was really weird. The ones on CorvetteMall look really nice (just googled this to see the jackets) I'd wear those.

Maybe just avoid wearing the Corvette hat, the Corvette shirt, the Corvette jacket, the Corvette watch, the Corvette sunglasses, and the Corvette driving shoes all at the same time.

I pretty much have Corvette apparel for all the Vettes we have owned in the past and present. Not apologizing, sorry.

There are really nice Corvette light jackets on amazon for about $88. I think the heavy racing jackets look kind of cheesy.
