If you wear it whilst in the car - yes.

If you wear it when no where near the car - no.

Not under all circumstances, at races I think it is perfectly acceptable attire. I wore one of the Hackett AM Racing polo shirts at qualifying in Malaysia the other week, but wouldn't wear one whilst out in, or washing the car!

No, you are not going to look a pillock but people seem to presume that you work for Aston Martin and that the car belongs to someone else/the company, if you are wearing it, while anywhere near the car!!! wink

Now there's a coincidence, I was actually looking at these jackets and polo shirts in our local "name brand" shop just yesterday. The good news was that in a shop that sells Gant, Brax, Paul&Shark and Without Prejudice (to name but a few) the Aston Martin logo on the Hackett apparel was commanding a 20-30% price premium over the rest.
No, I didn't take the plunge, was looking for shoes smile

I weakened at an AMOC event, while looking around A.M's official stand...... but I haven't worn it very often because as George says it doesn't feel appropriate away from racing or A.M. Events. I want to wear it more often, but it feels a little bit flashy!

Well I know for a fact that my good friend LBS has some Hackett gear.

And at all times he looks handsome and articulate.

It's wrong wrong wrong.......I remember buying an Aston silver pin from eBay and never wore it .....gave it to my brother for his birthday and he has never worn it......if you wear a Rolex would you have a Rolex jacket ?

If the answer to above question is yes .......you need to have a word with yourself and swap your Aston for a Jag

Now I know what to get you for your birthday Mr G.

I'm sure Rolex and Hackett gear would go down well in Oxton Village smile
