Datsun Travel Gear

[TomoHawk]

If you were to go to an automotive event and have a costume-sort of getup, would you wear this Datsun-themed jacket?

Also, I found a Datsun-themed duffel bag. It is 45 x 27 x 25 cm (18x1x10 inches.) It just big enough to put your sneakers and a dry T-shirt into.You would need another bag for your clothes and gear.

I suppose you could wear your CZCC hat or other Datsun hat, and a pair of jeans. What else would you need? Did John Morton wear sunglasses?

Oops- the duffel bag is (18x11x10 inches.

I'd definitely consider the duffel bag for use at car shows and road trips. In fact, I'm going to show it to my wife as a hint...

I found a deal on a duffel bag through pch.com that was bigger than the ones I mentioned, but there is no Datsun logo or patch. A source for a patch abut 8 or so inches long would be good. You might even get a matching colour duffel bag!

This is the advertisement for the duffel bag that I have. Actually, I got 2 for the price. It is much larger than the eBay bag I referred to originally: 24x 12x12 inches. I was able to pack it full with a weekend's worth pf clothing, including a pair of (dress) extra shoes.

I looked all through it for a product code or some kind of identifying information, but found only the required material & care label. Sorry.

But I did get it through PCH.com

What else would you take with you for a Datsun-themed or Racing-themed weekend? I think the Datsun jacket (or Datsun coveralls?) is a must, and maybe a pair of comfortable (like a windbreaker) pants, and maybe a helmet with decals for DATSUN or your model name & a race number?

...to a Datsun themed race event.

Tomo, why not just wear period clothing? For a later model Z, a polyester leisure suit and elevator shoes would be great. If you could grow out a cheesy moustache and chops, all the better. For an earlier model, you could break out a pair of old bell bottoms.

That would work, I suppose, but the original idea was to dress up sort of like a race driver. The polyester stuff would be the after-race dress that you wear to the bar to pick up women
