They've been wearing it since the 60s and 70's, what with the Malboro McLaren and Yardley McLaren anoraks, etc. plus there was the Denim aftershave gear as well. They are just the names that spring to mind immediately, but there were countless others. Although not a F1 team per se, but Ford also sold a clothing range aimed at motorsport enthusiasts, and I used to wear one of their anoraks - kindly donated, I might add.
