Company Swag, asking HR for Apparel?

Recently, I saw some of my VPs bust out company jackets and sweatervests. They look SIKK but apparently were handed out last holiday season.

1. Is it ok to ask HR to get some extras?
2. Would you guys wear company swag outside of work? The jacket is real slick.

I'll give the first serious response. no, it's not okay, they clearly gave them out for free to people of a certain level. if you truly like them, ask your HR person how you go about ordering some for yourself. either they'll tell you or they'll say "oh I'll get you some, what's your size?"

but also, I think it looks very toolish to wear that stuff on a regular basis (sweatervest, polo, t shirt, etc.). perhaps a snow jacket, umbrella, coffee mug, I get that. Or, if a client gives you a polo with their logo, that's fine too, but I think it's a little weird.
