Opinion: Kiton jeans with Ferrari Jacket

Hi Guys
I pick up on Ebay the NWT Kiton Jeans ($232) and Brioni tee shirt ($100) and a Ferrari Jacket ($320). The jacket was one of 200 produced in 2004 to celebrate Schumacker's 7th Grand Prix championship. I would appreciate any comments on the outfit, since I am planing on giving a talk in front of an academic group in it. Just for the record, I don't actually have a Ferrari, but I am a car guy with a 1953 and 1955 Bentleys in the Garage. I understand that if I were to ask this in the street wear forum, the Kiton jeans would make me a target. Thanks

You will be a target here as well, and deservedly so. Burn the jacket, please.

No jeans and leather jacket for such a talk, please, regardless if they are Kiton.

Its Schumacher, not Schumacker.

With all due respect as a Ferrari fan, wearing this jacket will not make anyone think you have one. If you love it that much, hang it in the garage framed over your 456 Italia. Thats the only place it should be in your home.

If you are addressing academic types, why not dress in more of an academic fashion?

Ferraris are beautiful.

That jacket is not.

What sort of academic group?

The jeans suit you very well, the jacket, not so much. I'm rather bewildered by why you'd choose this to wear if you're giving an academic talk.

Love the jacket. I'm not a big fan of wearing sport attire (jerseys and what not) but I've been looking (passively) for a vintage ferrari f1 jacket from the seventies. My friend who is a huge ferrari f1 fan and owns a ferrari himself would kill for your jacket.

No, don't wear it for a speech. Wear it to a car show.
