|
|
Hello everyone I am a collector of vw uniforms and shirts and anything else related to having worked for Volkswagen. I want to show you some of my collection and see who else has fun items too. I might be interested in buying some stuff if you have a nice piece or two.
This is a Hanover factory workers outfit from 1999.
This is a dealership mechanics outfit with embroidered names on both pants and shirt.
And this is a nos Managers shop coat from the early 60's I believe, it is not German.

Thanks, it is awesome. I wear it once in a while at shows while I ride a pre war fat tire bike around. _________________ 1971 Deluxe Sunroof Bay 1905 stroker, dual idf40's, 74mm Scat forged crank, engle 110 cam. CB 044 heads, AutoCraft rockers, chromoly push rods

Hey, is that White and Blue, or Gold and Black? |

That big paint scratching buckle on the front just screams bad idea. Notice the guy on the right removed the buckle.

Okay, I'll play...
Here is a brand new, unused factory full-length workers jumpsuit from the Wolfsburg factory presented to me in 1999 during our vintage VW driving Tour called the "Return To The Fatherland Tour" in June 1999. Still in it's original protective clear plastic package.
They even made for me nametags that I guess iron on. They made four extra nametags in case the one pressed on the new uniform wore off during repeated washings - fat chance of that ever happening! I've only put it on once!
And here is a Bosch service reps service jacket I got way back in in the 1990's adorned with VW factory tour badges and a few patches.

A friend scored this Service Advisor shirt for me today, appears to have been saved after it came back from laundry, see tag on front, the guy's name was Fritz Kretchner. I have no idea which dealership it came from.

I have a jacket I made. $7 coat, $3 patch, $1 pin. It's a nice light jacket for when it's a little cold.
