Default What the sophisticated ZORA man driver will wear and drink

WARNING - This is for Your Entertainment While Waiting for the ZORA


ZORA Men,
There seems to be many on this forum that want this incredible new ZORA mid engined Corvette to battle Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren in style, performance, and sophistication. Knowing that this car will rise to the occasion and directly compete with the exotics on their own turf we as Corvette owners are now required to up our own game as sophisticated ZORA drivers in all manners of personal presentation. No more driving your Corvette in ratty jeans and flip flops. No more washed out faded t-shirts. Driving this level of Corvette will command you to spiff up yourselves for the good of the Corvette Man driver image.
Hence, here is a selection of Men's Suit Tailors from Ready to Wear or Off The Rack, Made to Measure, and finally Bespoke (Machine sewn up to Hand sewn). Of course a gentleman ZORA driver of your stature and sophistication should have a "go to list" of bespoke suit tailors to choose from. I've organized them by country to assist in selection of styles and fabric design originating from that country. I've also included the top four perfumeries in the world for your personalized one of a kind essence from the center of the perfume world "Grasse, France". Your very own ZORA essence will drive your lady WILD with passion !!!!! You now have the Shoe guide as well to be the most dapper ZORA man in world!! Finally, no dapper ZORA man should be without a list of wine movies to sharpen up his wine tasting skills.

ZORA Men
Since you are the consummate dapper shoe aficionado, I have assembled the Ultimate Shoe Guide for you to refer to on your shopping trips here and abroad. I've researched these shoe companies and separated by country of origin, and by standards of quality ranging from bench made, made to order, and finally to the bespoke process. England by far has the largest quantity of custom shoe companies ranging from larger production bench made standards to tiny bespoke artisan cobblers that do incredible workmanship and design. Italy is next in line followed by France, USA, and Spain. These combined countries seem to be the bulk of the custom market. This list will be very helpful at least from a quality standard perspective. Design capabilities is a whole other issue. Hope this helps. I know I will use it when I buy my ZORA.

Do you have a list of counsellors who can help these poor souls with their anxiety as they donate their jorts and Corvette branded Hanes Beefy-T's to charity?

No, I think he's found it. 'It' being a sense of humor about this stupid car

We all need to take a step back and not take this so damn seriously.

Don't forget to add a self-driving wheel chair to the list for the automatic drivers.

A Zora man will probably be a "geezer."

Or a 30-something YouTuber who's trying to monetize every aspect of his life.

Which means he'll be overjoyed at Skank's list of premium #BRANDS to promote.

I'm sure Corvette marketing will observe the ZORA Man usage of this list by the comments here.

good post... however...ive never heard of any of the aforementioned tailors, cobblers or movies so i suppose i should stick with my loud, angry, obnoxious destined for a trailer park C7Z.

im now a man without a home... or identity...

what to do with my earmarked C8 $$$$

perhaps the viper crowd will let me into their club.

Haha, just saw a pair of driving shoes that had written on the right shoe: Power and on the left: Brake.
One can also research Ferrari ***s for some laughs on their dress code.
The Zora Man demographics, haha.
