I think wearing a porsche shirt and hat is a little too much. I would feel comfortable saying you can wear one piece of porsche branded apparel at a time. I do like the martini racing line.

I wear my "the world is flat" t-shirt because it is subtle and not brand specific. I never wear Porsche shirts, jackets or hats. It just feels a bit too "look at me" and pretentious.
It's like the Harley guys that have to have the logo on everything they own just so everyone knows they own a Harley and are, by default, the coolest guy on the planet. I can't help but feel contempt when I see it.

Here are my rules on "branded" stuff. My wife thinks I am retarded.
1. Never two branded items together, i.e. hat and t-shirt. One or the other. Together is an "outfit". Guys don't wear "outfits"...
2. Never when driving my Porsche. Only when driving another vehicle. Unless going to a car show or Porsche event. Then it's OK. But it's better to wear a cap or shirt with the logo of one of your other toys...

I'm OK with logoed apparel because the PORSCHE logo is visually elegant. I still wear a Karmann Ghia t-shirt, too, because the logo is just too cool. it took me a bit of soul-searching to wear the KG shirt while driving a Porsche, but if you trace the family history, they're basically siblings.
The comments about Harley owners and two pieces being an outfit rang true to me.

Douchebaggery comes from within. Having said that, anyone who wears a baseball hat backwards is a douche bag.

I wear T-shirts with Porsche on them, but not the official gear. We do have some official mugs.
I really like this shirt, you can customize it to match your car:
Custom Htees T Shirt Porsche Boxster 986 987 Pick Car Colour Plate s XXXL | eBay
Pick your Boxster body style, color and plate! :dance:
Who DOES buy that Porsche wear?! They must keep selling it to someone, but to whom?

I've been wearing these since before I owned a Porsche:
And I'm thinking about getting one of these:
I think they're acceptable because both have appeal beyond the fact they say Porsche on them.

I wont lie, I have been tempted by the Porsche Design/Adidas driving shoes. That said I'd never wear a shirt with an Adidas logo on it.
The only time I wear Porsche T-Shirts are to Porsche events (or on "I'm going to work on my car today" weekends). And the shirts are generally from previous Porsche-related events that I've attended like the Monterey Historics.
The only time I might wear Porsche ball caps would be during a Porsche driving event while in the car.
I completely agree about the "no matching" logo wear. I generally avoid any type of logo-wear clothing, and if there is a logo somewhere, I make sure it is very subtle.
I might be tempted by a Porsche designed watch too...(someday when I have money to burn).

A little off topic, but my driving shoes are Piloti Sebrings in oxblood. I really like these shoes a lot!

The thing i really don't like about most Porsche design stuff is that it is made in china. Though I do love my Carrera sunglasses made in Austria.
I have a varsity Porsche jacket and a few pca jackets. a couple of polo shirts as well. I do not really plan out my outfit so if i grab a Porsche shirt out of my dresser and a Porsche jacket out of the closet oh well :P

Is there where I get in trouble for not looking at it very closely?
Or maybe it's the yellow boxster that has you horrified? Understandable, then.

Just giving you a hard time, lady
For me, wearing a shirt that depicted my car would be akin to wearing a shirt with my face on it 
And no, the yellow isn't helping matters any!
But I would wear a Reading Rainbow shirt, lol!
