Porsche attire
 

I have wore Porsche and Mercedes shirts and hats since I was about 10, other people have favorite sports teams, I have favorite car brands, now that I own a Porsche though I am more reluctant to wear anything saying Porsche. I feel pretty borderline douchebag. Do you wear Porsche stuff, should I feel reluctant or not?

This is the best attire for driving a Porsche :cool:

My Boxster S had a nice Porsche "Boxster S" hat in the trunk when I bought it, couldn't throw it away quick enough. That said, I am currently wearing a Maserati Fleece lol.

We are all different but since you asked.....yes, it screams DB imo.

Porsche is the ONLY brand that I'll display and it's the first one ever! If a product was ever built for me it would be a PORSCHE! This because of HOW they drive. Having said that, I often struggle with feelings that Porsche doesn't DESERVE my love and worship. I shudder at today's youth and how easily they embrace corporations. A spiritual crisis creates people searching for meaning and corps have rushed into the vacuum with their promise-filled logos and brand identities. I think we Porschefiles are usually worshipping the Porsche from the days of our youth.

I see co workers wearing Infitiniti t-shirts and Audi. and they actually own the cars. I just shake my head. New level of enthusiast.

Santa got me this for xmas, I think it ticks the box for subtle. And no, I don't drive a Subaru. ;)

Only wear Porschefanalia to Porsche events or your local DE/Autox.
Much better to wear free advertising for Porsche racing teams or tire makes.

In lieu of all that that you can wear Martini Racing gear year round.

Love the world is flat one, where did Santa pick it up at haha?

Thought hard about getting those. May still get one.

I picked up a wool sweater from the porsche museum in Stuttgart in between owning a 914 and my current boxster. I wear it occasionally because I like it. That being said it only says porsche in the piping and is very subtle. And yet every time I wear it I get a comment.

I have a nice blue porsche racing hat with stripe.

To be honest while branded, you can't know what's said that you don't hear, but what I do hear is about a 40%pos 60% neg split.. But if you look at it in a male or female sense about 90% of the female comments are positive with much more love from the peanut gallery on the male side.

I make an exception for an M series BMW tho :-)

I only wear a Morgan T shirt and occasionally a Morgan 4/4 hat. I also have a T shirt with an MG on it but never wore it. I do have a briefcase with a small embossed Jaguar symbol on it but it is barely visible. Had a mug with Mercedes on it but it wore off in the dishwasher. No Porsche clothing, hats or other gear, just the cars.

Porsche #1 coffee mug everyday at work. Only gear heads appreciate it. No other Porsche branded stuff.

I have a Porsche hat, two Suncoast shirts, and a Brumos shirt. Generally I'll wear the hat, but not with the shirts. :p

At your age, I'd go with what the chicks think. :D

Just be prepared when Billy Jo Redneck serves up the douchebag treatment.

Just sayin'...........;)

I like the old school look; I have a hoodie with this simple logo...

I got a $250 gift card to the Porsche Design store when I bought my 981. Bought something like this, sans belty-strap things on the waist and high collar. Quite useful as the Wiff would frequently take my hoodie. I agree that most of the Porsche design stuff is a bit garish. As for baseball caps, I'm more of a purist and I don't believe Porsche has a baseball team. Can't say I follow racing, but am pro martini and Rob Roy.:

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.

All I can think of on this thread is this:

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.

This is what I wear when driving the Porsche ;)

While on the topic of Porsche accesories, any nice keychains or accesories? Here are my keys.

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 a camo VW symbol hat.

Covers my car and wife's. The camo covers the ford.

Agreed. Double this if over 35 years of age.

And now, to make the message long enough to be posted, here are some letters.

Wore the hat today actually, large group of African American females said "ohh girl, dat boy be lookin' like he gone to play some tennis"

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:

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.

Wow! That's incredibly terrible! :p

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.

:D

Just giving you a hard time, lady :p

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