Those who ventured to V@V this year, know that I opted for the coordinated look, with my orange golf attire. Being prone to excess, however, I'm thinking about upping my game. Perhaps, for example, by upgrading to the way cool Orange Zoot Suit. In Colorado this time, not Inka. With a color-coordinated fedora. What do you think?
Before and proposed-after photos follow below (true, the shirt is still Inka - but hey, I've only just begun to shop).
For thost that wish to follow suit (pun intended), and abandon the typical dirty-jeans-and-flannel-shirt look for the next car event, I offer up this web site. Click on color choices, and you too can match your ride (take note, AndyS and Bill W - as David Lee Roth would say/sing, "hey man, that suit is you").

Oh yeah... Zoot Suits!
Andy would look like a million bucks in the Lime Green one, and that yellow one did say Bill to me when I saw it. Brad Day would look much more fashionable in a red one instead of his prison coveralls and, of course, Fearless Leader Scott Sturdy would change over from his lederhosen to the Emerald one for the awards ceremony.
Too bad that my vintage Bimmers are black and white.... _________________ HarryPR

Being Dutch I cannot help but liking any orange outfit.
check out these Dutch Soccer fans
or when we celebrate Queensday (yes the Netherlands are a monarchy).
But....
your suit is more a 30's style suit while we have 60's/70's cars.
So why not something more in suitable like:
or perhaps a nice suit with a pattern like this:
 h
Or you could go for a white & orange striped version of this:

The ball cap that I am wearing in the first picture above (with the golf attire - the ball cap being rather hard to see in the picture) has the correct colors and the Queen's symbol on the front, and says "Holland" on the back (I bought the cap in Amsterdam). Hence, F1reverb's somewhat-correct observation about '02 "Queen" (although as we all know, he was referencing something else). Within the House of Orange, however, I would prefer to be Prince:
William of Nassau,
Am I, of German descent
Loyal to the fatherland
I will remain until I die
A Prince of Orange
Am I, free and fearless
The king of Spain
I have always honored
Edwin, I take your point on the 70s versus the 30s, and will take it under advisement. I'm still keen on the zoot suit, however - it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.
Great Q-Tip Judge, by the way, jmon0261. But where are his white gloves?
