Hawaiian Shirts - Aloha Shirts

It was almost warm enough to wear this last week. Another thrift store find.

Perfect example of the generic term that "Hawaiian shirt" has become. Pink Flamingos are native to the Caribbean, Florida, and Mexico, not Hawaii. Yet a well known Island brand makes the shirt because it fits into the same fantasy lifestyle groove as Hawaii. Sun'n fun and tropical cocktails are universal. Nice shirt and find Bob, needed to be reminded there is hope when it's currently in the 40's here.

Flamingo shirt is the bomb, Bob!! I love it!! Wear it! Cold or not, pink flamingos are a big middle finger to taste and decorum anyway.

A local band that can make the place rock asked my wife to make them a 'uniform' shirt. She came up with the idea of musical notes across the front, with a solid black background. The guys were delighted.

These things are beginning to multiply like neckties. :rolleyes:

Excuse the wrinkles -- these are as found at the DAV Thrift.

Nice finds Bob!! That Hilo Hattie is especially sweet. Great shade of blue and the ukes are a winner.

Some really good shirts you have there Bob, love the cars, that shirt has a wow factor in the stratosphere.





This shirt was meant to be a Christmas present, but as we are doing a special deal (more later,) I got this a little early.
And here's the lady herself as we stride out on the dance floor, with me wearing an obligatory shirt, of course.

Indeed! I now look forward to your posts of her work, GHT. Wonderful photo above; you BOTH look to be in ecstasy, or close! BRAVO!
You are too kind, here's just one more so that you know that I'm not the only recipient of her sewing skills. Here she's wearing an outfit that she designed, made the pattern for and completed. And of course, there's a certain shirt, as well as the dance floor. We get photographed a lot on the dance floor.
