Is it just me or are these items really difficult to find out there? I mean, I'm just searching for a polo. Perhaps in typical Lotus fashion of British racing green with a yellow Lotus emblem.

I've checked all around. Ebay, Sector 11, etc. Lotus group is all out of the polos except for womens and XXXL. With all things considered, I'm not sure they should even make the XXXL . I think Lotus could perhaps use some American marketing magic.

Anyone have any tips on where I can find a nice polo and/or baseball cap? Pm me and tomorrow I'll get them for you. We have plenty in stock. Dealers have polos, jackets, and some other things, but in general, yeah, Lotus merchandise is rare and the selection is quite limited. Probably a good thing, as if they had more to offer I'd buy it all and my wife would be upset with me... Yeah, already got way more stuff then I should have. Have heard they have a whole new line up of stuff coming out later this year. So we all get to start fresh. I get some of my stuff from www.emmonscoachworks.com he has rights to print the offical logo on his complete line of items. Not offical Group Lotus but since their stuff is tough to get at times....

He has polos (including silk), heavy t-shirts, camp shirts, hats, coats. He is even checking on shop aprons for me. Good guy, can usally be found at most of the mojor concours events behind a huge group of buyers. How about some race jackets, suits, gloves, etc. ?

Try http://www.lotuscarswebstore.co.uk/ you get stung with the pound to dollar conversion and shipping a bit , but I just bought a really cool black Lotus polo that was on close out around 10 Pounds, which is like $19

http://www.lotuscarswebstore.co.uk/i...AYCAT&catid=11 I got a green lotus hat and black lotus sport hat from Abe of southbay lotus(bmw1), talk to him!

edit: oh, he made the first reply, thanks abe! the stuff sold here by Lotus USA sucks... Try buying them overseas.. My wife owns her own business making custom clothing and she JUST (today) bought a high-end embroidery machine. Would any of you be interested in having custom lotus shirts made? I'm going to have her make me one. When it's done, I'll post some pics. You can get them at any dealer. Just call or go to the parts department. Any **good** dealer. SVAG has a relatively large inventory, Boardwalk
had one measly green polo and one hat.

I would think BMCD carries a better inventory than that.

By the way, the new Bentley convertible in blue looks great.

You can get them at any dealer. Just call or go to the parts department. The lotus gear has always been kind of stodgy and unimaginative, it's gotten better in the last two years, but still not great. By far the neatest stuff is the Lotusport line but hard to get anymore. I bought a couple black polos and hat and am kicking myself for not getting the parka. www.lotusgarage.com has polos and other stuff http://www.hangar111.com/ckshop.php?page=2&category=48 My wife owns her own business making custom clothing and she JUST (today) bought a high-end embroidery machine.

Not to rain on your parade, but I'm a lot nicer than a lawyer. You want to avoid trademarked indicia unless you have permission to use them. A one-off shirt may not be too big a deal, but when a business starts making them, especially for profit, cease-and-desist letters start to arrive. With permission usually comes an agreement as to how the trademakrs will be used. This helps protect the trademark itself.

Trademarks can be on something as basic as color scheme. John Deere green plus the yellow stripe is trademarked and they have won suit against another lawn equipemnt maker for getting too close to the trademarked color scheme. Lotus hats, key fobs and decals at:

Can you get the hat in the middle? The black one with the Lotus Sport.



Cost shipped? That lotusport hat is sweet, had one for some time, lotus uk doesn't even list on the webshop site anymore I don't think. Thanks to everyone for all the replies and advise. I’m gonna check out your tips.
