Porsche logo jacket
I need some help. I'm trying to decide which Porsche racing jacket to buy (I know that they are all over priced). This is the one I'm leaning towards. Any and all suggestions will be welcome.

I agree that's a bit too much (unless your's actually racing) and prefer subtle items but it's all about taste. My dad would wear that in a heart beat.
I've never been a big fan of wearing Porsche stuff when I'm driving my Porsche. I always get the feeling that people are looking at me like "are you too stupid to remember what you're driving or do you just think you're a big shot because you drive a Porsche".
At the track or on weekend fun runs however, I always wear Porsche stuff if I'm driving my Vette, and Vette stuff when driving my Porsche. Tends to get owners of the same group pissed off and even had a Vette guy tell me I was a traitor. When I told him my 951 would kill my ZO6 he didn't talk to me for the rest of the event.

Wow, have to agree with some others here, that jacket is a little over the top. I think if you ran in that thing, you might catch your arms on fire. The old school gulf jackets are the best .02

There are some all cotton versions too, I see them at the ALMS races in the souvenier shops.
