    I own some t shirts and nothing else, but I don't drive around in the Ferrari and wear them, in fact if I'm driving the Ferrari I make sure that I'm not wearing them and I think having the key hang out from my pocket is saying enough while in public.

    Ok, reading the apparel thread below many seem to be indicating they WANT or care for people to know they own a Ferrari and want to flash that out lol. Why? Honestly out of curiosity, do you WANT people to look at you? or would you rather just not care, it's just a car. What's your theory?

    Actually, I thought most responders were saying they don't wear Ferrari garb, especially while driving one, including me.

    A couple of years ago, I was at the San Diego Airport and I saw a guy wearing a red Ferrari hat, Black Lamborghini Jacket, Yellow Ferrari Shirt, and Red Ferrari Shoes. :D :D

    Wearing a Ferrari outfit is sad imo, it makes you look as if you don't actually own one lol.

    I think the most I would stretch to are a pair of Puma trainers with the Ferrari logo on them but not because I own a Ferari but because I like the look of them :)

    Exactly lol. When I see older men with Ferrari gear, BMW stuff, any brand really I think either wow look at that fan boy, oh look he is ugly and wants everyone to know he has a car, or wow look at him he has bad taste in clothing lol.

    I agree. Some is good, but full F-outfit is just too much.

    It's the same with the Ducati guys. Full Ducati leathers, Puma boots (which weigh a ton) and a stupid scarf around there neck
    All show, no go..

    I agree wearing all PUMA Ferrari garb is too much, and that includes Ducati as well, but i think Puma is starting to get it right with their blend of Ferrari logo and apparel. I wonder if their goal is to make the Brand of Ferrari the same as, well maybe something like Ralph Lauren. Come on I know some of you guys have dawned the polo with the gigantic Polo logo. Now wearing the shoe, which I do not like, and a shirt and hat is way way off. But their training jackets are pretty neat. Like it in black as well. So I said it. Puma/Ferrari are now a fashion statement.

    Now I will say, and I know I will get blasted, but people who dawn their garage with signs that say "Ferrari Parking Only" and put up banners and make a shrine in their home are the same as guys/ladies who wear Ferrari clothing all over their bodies. Just my 2 cents ;)

    I haven't bought any new f-apparel since I purchased my first f-car. I've bought a ferrari pink polo for my 2 year old daughter and a ferrari marlboro f1 onesie for my one month old. I think the charm of personal ferrari apparel is really there when you don't have an fcar. I know I appreciated the f gear as well when there wasn't as much available through mass produced brands like puma or local ferraristores around every corner. Don't get me wrong, I think most of the puma gear actually looks cool. I just don't find myself interested in buying apparel 4 myself anymore.

    Driving a Volvo IS hell :) I owe you a call when I get back.
    I have T-shirts, mostly subtle old GP car shirts and a few with pontoons and some semi-blingy 250LM's.
    Have a couple 60th anniversary polos for myself and wife, a 60th Tshirt and hat, and some FNA 50th hats. Found a cool T at the dealer with emblems from most of the world's Ferrari clubs on it. Overhead Enzo pic and a 599 shirt (Eurotrashy) from dealer as well. Not many red shirts, none of the team gear stuff. Couple of the 599 transamerican trip shirts.
    Have a "Save the Enzo's" shirt with Eriksson's wreck, from Jalopnik IIRC.
    Best hat is the Enzo signature hat or the FNA 50th.
    Puma clearance stores usually have good stuff, found a lot of above there. Found the kids evil black SF backpacks with 3" shield, nicely made. $45 each. Dealer had them for 100+, their markup sux on the stuff.
    Always had shirts, have plain old Tod's drivers. Stuff for kids OK, usually at Puma outlets.
    Still love my "Real Carreras have 4 Cams" shirt, but dated. Have a great cutaway shirt of a Columbo 12, and a Maranello Press intro T.
    Probably time for a "Real Californias have V12's" shirt, and a fresh round of Columbo 12 shirts.
    Never could find a "Dietrich?" shirt.

    I have a couple of polo shirts like below, and a couple of caps with similar logo. I generally wear them if I am going to a car show (ie, Cars for the Cure, Celebration Exotic Car Festival, etc) or a Cars and Coffee meet. It helps me meet other Fcar fans that I may not otherwise know. I will also, from time to time, wear the shirt or cap (not the two together) to a poker tournament. Again, it is more for a conversation starter than anything. Subtle is better IMHO.
