It's a heavy burden to be right and thought otherwise by others. I really enjoyed the movie! At the same time, it would have been more wonderful without the elaboration Hollywood feels is necessary but which I see as laziness. Carroll Shelby liked to race wearing railroad style korm-stripe overalls, which were coolly nonchalant and also practical. I had two pairs in my early twenties and they're very comfortable. At Le Mans, it's possible more professional attire was mandated by Aston-Martin and he changed before the podium ceremony to tweak management. So that is what you call them then Carl! I have also seen photos, one in the book mentioned above, of Shelby in race action during the 1959 Le Mans race wearing what would appear to be a Bomber Jacket over his race suit, probably during the cold early hours. They're basically bib overalls, the shoulder straps freeing the arms, cooler than coveralls and favored both by farmers and railroad engineers, the latter by tradition favoring the korm stripes, which also graced the caps worn in the old steam locomotives.
