If you read Part One of this Gift Guide, then you’ll hopefully already have an idea of what to buy that Formula One fan in your life this festive season, but just in case you’re still struggling, I’ve put together another gift guide to help you out!
Today I’m featuring another four shops where you can search for Formula One adjacent merchandise, including one run by the GOAT of Formula One, Lewis Hamilton himself!
The ones I’m featuring today are all apparel based, in my opinion one of the best ways to show your support for your favourite Formula One team and/or driver.
So, without further ado, let’s introduce you to some more places to buy Formula One adjacent merchandise!
The Slipstream Apparel
Known for celebrating iconic moments in Formula One, past and present and the original Formula One inspired embroidered clothing line, Dazale from The Slipstream Apparel is helping Formula One fans from all around the world revel in the good times of Formula One races.
She felt that a lot of merchandise looked the same throughout the years or were too expensive, so now with a growing younger fanbase, Dazale wanted to create exciting merchandise for fans to support their favourite drivers.
The jumpers are all very cosy to wear, wash really well and are even cosy enough to sleep in! I have two jumpers from The Slipstream Apparel – the Lewis Hamilton Brazil 2021 jumper and the George Russell ‘Mr Saturday’ jumper.
They are reasonably priced and with limited drops throughout the year, sometimes hard to get a hold of your favourite one! But with notifications on, you’re bound to be first in line!
Orders take 4-6 weeks processing time and The Slipstream Apparel ships worldwide.
Stint Apparel
I found this shop via Instagram after seeing a tweet featuring this Mick Schumacher jumper – as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it! Stint Apparel are a small business based in Belgium founded and designed by Celine.
There are t-shirts and jumpers available for both men and women and you can also search by driver on the website, at the moment there are 11 drivers available – including Alex Albon, Lando Norris, Daniel Ricciardo and Pierre Gasly so I’m sure you’re bound to find one for the Formula One fan in your life – or perhaps even yourself!
All products are printed on demand at home and can take more than 7 business days to process.
The Stint Apparel ships to Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg, France and Germany where shipping is 1-3 working days and DHL Express & UPS for all other countries where the standard delivery time is mostly 1-3 working days but can run up to 6.
F1 Troll via Redbubble
Now these guys run one of the funniest Formula One content on Instagram – if there’s a meme to be made you can bet these guys have already done it! I didn’t realise they sold apparel until I went onto their website one day – which is hosted on Redbubble, and I found it to be incredibly affordable and also right on point!
(They also sell Formula One phone cases, pillows and mugs, so this is definitely the best one for an all round Formula One shopping experience)
When the Formula One drivers did a ‘Grill The Grid’ episode where they were asked to design their own t-shirts, the fans wanted to get their hands on them immediately and what do you know!? F1 Troll had them up on their website! Amazing!
Of course, I didn’t HAVE to buy any, but of course I DID and now I’m the proud owner of some of the t-shirt designs from the very Formula One drivers I watch drive around in circles!
The prices are very reasonable – t-shirts from £21.89 and shipping worldwide with standard or express delivery using carriers like UPS, FedEx and DHL. Orders from independent artists (such as F1 Troll) are printed and shipped by 3rd party printers around the world.
I highly recommend F1 Troll if you’re looking for something a bit different for the Formula One fans in your life this festive season.
Plus 44 World
Now this one is a little bit special because it is run by Formula One driver, Lewis Hamilton and has limited drops throughout the year, with each one being different. The designs are all uniquely different in their own way and with each of them, Lewis collaborates with an artist who has inspired him.
There was a lot of chatter when Plus 44 World first came to Instagram, nobody really knew what it meant and there was more intrigue because at first it was a private account which you had to request to follow...cue loads of ‘I’m IN’ stories whenever someone was ‘let in’ by the Plus 44 World account! Marketing at its best!
I love the fact that the designs are all different as it helps to keep it a unique brand and with Lewis Hamilton fans being spread all over the world, I’d guess it’d be difficult to find any one else wearing the same t-shirt/hoodie/coat as you!
I caved and bought a long sleeve t-shirt from the first drop ‘Eye of the Storm’ and I have to say I’m pretty impressed with the quality of it. It fits really well and looks good on its own or under a jacket.
The cost of the t-shirt was $60 and shipping was $11.50 (FedEx) with no custom fees or taxes added on top. It’s definitely one of, if not THE most expensive piece of Formula One adjacent merchandise I have bought, but so so worth it!
David Scheele Art
Another art shop here for you, I found David Scheele via Instagram. Dave Scheele is an Illustrator, Designer, Hockey enthusiast, new Formula One fan and has been selling his work online and in person since 2018 and is always looking for new opportunities.
He has a range of designs available on his website, all of which would look amazing on the wall of any Formula One fan this festive season! I know I can’t wait to get mine unpacked and framed!
I chose three prints from David Scheele’s shop – the Starring Scuderia Poster, both of the Hungarian GP 2022 Runner Up Prints of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell and the City Lights Print of the Ferrari boys.
These are my two top Formula One teams and I love how uniquely I can show my support and love for both of them in my home. I got the small sizes of all three prints so they can hopefully all fit into the one frame!
Orders usually ship within a week of ordering although this is always subject to change, as David is the only employee!
They are all reasonably priced – these prints cost me less than $20 each and with shipping ($14) the total cost was $46, which I believe is very reasonable for hand made/printed art.
So, there you have it! Another four fabulous Formula One shops to do your festive shopping this season!
I can’t be held responsible for any shopping you do, be it for yourself or your favourite Formula One fan this Christmas!
Love, Sarah xoxoxo
