Default F1 Merchandise....daaaayum!

Anyone see the prices for the F1 shirts, hats, etc. on their website? Holy hell. $40 for a hat, $60 for a T-shirt, $250 for a F1 special edition hat. AZnd that's just the clothing, not the watches, carbon fiber keychains, mouse pads and other stuff.

If F1 wants to get more exposure in F1, their logo on clothing is a good way to do it. But at these prices, not many people will shell out that kind of cash for that.

Welcome to F1.

If you want cheap stuff go to www.nascar.com.

Believe me, these prices are no surprise...

And it does indeed pay to shop around. Almost all of my stuff comes from Speed Gear.
http://www.speedgear.com/

My most recent purchase - $22.50; as in about half of that $40 you quoted...

For someone like OH Marco what they sell is not official enough...
What they sell is the same stuff you can buy at the events that all claim to be official, and the same stuff they sell at that F1 store that's close to TO Marco.

Official enough for me...

I bought an FIA GT jacket and bag from them. It ships from the U.K., but they have some unique stuff.

I've been looking for a fitted F1 cap, HondaF1 or F1 branded, preferably, but everything I've seen is adjustable.

Anyone know where I can find fitted caps? The one-size-fits-all elastic band type would be fine.

Good luck, I'm not so sure you will find anythink like that, I for sure have never seen sports hats come in sizes.
