Just took this screenshot from Grand Prix Originals USA Instagram page—gporiginalsusa—which I thought some of you might be interested in:
billyjracing wears Jeany’s gorgeous driving shoes all the time. And if they are good enough for him—a professional race car driver (in situations where FIA approved shoes are not a requirement) they’re good enough for me. A professional “nothing”.

This specific Top Gun Maverick Tom Cruise Jacket is a profound declaration of gallantry, courage, spirits, and sky-excessive passions. A top-best cowhide leather-based endorsement with a puffed-up composure like this one provides on your character charm. Also, it offers a uniquely ostentatious satin material gleam out of it, which gives a specific inexperienced colour poise to the only carrying it.

Driving shoes are not always a lame wannabe thing, especially in cramped cars like various Lotus models, with their 6"-wide foot wells. Sometimes we had to drive barefoot or in socks... The only issue I found (at least with the brand I bought) was that they didn't have 1/2 size increments so, being space constrained, got the next size smaller, so they aren't all that comfortable. As an aside, that's one huge benefit of mid-engine cars; there is no big transmission tunnel steeling all the foot space, but I digress.
Driving jacket, sure, why not, especially if it's a cold day. I have observed, however, that Corvette owners do it a lot more than any other make (at least in SoCal). A real flight jacket is very very nice, and very expensive, but is awesome even with no car brand on it.
Driving gloves, ugh... that's on par with parking one's F-type with the wing up, sort of reeking of "I was ignored as a child and shall not be ignored any longer, look at me!"
I'll be here all week, available for additional social commentary, thank you.

I got my missus the Jag quilted jacket https://shop.jaguar.com/womens-drive...et-50jdjw783bk. She didnt wear it for a while but over this winter she has worn it quite a bit.
Looks fantastic on her (she has a small frame), nice and fitted and I like the diagonal zip. I'd have bought one if they had them in mens'

This is one of my favorite jackets to wear when I take my F Type out. NHRA safety rules require a fireproof jacket if you run below 11.49 seconds. I considered it a significant milestone when I went Stage 2 and after my first pass they told me I needed a jacket or I couldn't run any more. When this jacket comes out of the closet, I know I'm going to have some fun. 😀
