Xc70 wear

[996redhead]

So, as I have said before, I am a Porsche owner. Porsche has all kinds of sweatshirts, polartec jackets, etc that can be purchased online to support the fanatics with more cash than willpower (like me).

Volvo on the other hand sells a lot of cars, must have a very large number of owners, and does not have an online store. No XC70 polartec pullovers, hats, sweatshirts, etc.

What gives? Anyone know?

best regards,

996redhead,

Although not XC70 specific, Volvo does offer their own line of clothing and accessories called the 'Volvo Collection'. Most of the items should be available through your own Volvo retailer. http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

PDF Brochure (Volvo Collection) (http://www.lawrenceparkvolvo.com/PDF/VolvoCollection.pdf)

For Ocean Race owners, there's also the Musto (http://www.emarine.co.za/mustovolvo/musto.htm) line of clothing.

Art,
Thanks very much for the brochure. My mother is very excited that I am getting this for her and sending her to Sweden for OSD. Now maybe I will add a nice pullover.

best regards,
Joel

By the way, my Carrera is Ocean Blue Metallic.

Make sure she brings back one (or more) of the hats/shirt/etc which can ONLY be purchased at the FDC. &nbsp;My hat is one of the nicest (nice stiff brime, comfortable head rounding, and easy adjusting band) I own. &nbsp;Plus, at &#036;3 each it was a steal&#33;

P.S. &nbsp;Make sure she brings over the VolvoXC.com sticker for her new XC.

I have gotten a couple of items off of eBay, including this really cool shirt:

Check out the bid history on it, it was a wild time. &nbsp;I used eSnipe to nab it with 7 seconds left, the other bidders didn&#39;t even see me coming.

That is nice&#33; Much more fun than just &quot;Volvo&quot; embroidered on something. I&#39;ll bet they could sell a ton of &#39;em. I&#39;m not fond of rayon (cotton aloha shirts feel better) but I could overlook that since it is my size. &nbsp;http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

Big- It is actually too big for me, and too tricky of an alteration for my wife to do. &nbsp;We are going to take it to a tailor to get it right. &nbsp;I will probably be into it over &#036;100 when I am done &nbsp; &nbsp;http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif

To try to get the right size, I chased clear back to the manufacturer, who contacted their fabric maker to see if there was another bolt (roll) of XC graphics material laying around. &nbsp;Nope. &nbsp;This shirt is the last one in the world, apparently. &nbsp;

I plan to wear it to car shows when we are showing our Chevelle. &nbsp;It will represent my automotive temperment swings: I have equal appreciate for our rowdy 500hp gas guzzling, tire smoking muscle car and sophisticated, ULEV, TractionControl equipped XC.
