Here are two more shirts I received today. Both are M's, just as the first one is, but they are cut a bit fuller - perfect for me, actually. Hope you like.

Thanks for the compliments, guys. Bugg, I get them on ebay. I typed in 'hawaiian shirt' and then sifted through until I found shirts that had the size, colors, patterns, and characteristics (for me - cotton) I wanted. Don't go by S, M, L, etc. Those can be misleading. I go by my across-the-chest (armpit to armpit) and across the shoulder (top seam to top seam) measurements.

I also avoid sellers with less than 99% positive feedback. Anything less than that is looking for trouble, afaic.

Oh, and I generally don't wear straw hats. What you see on my head is the general type of hat I most favor.

Scottyrocks - Those are two very cool shirts. What's the material? Especially like the green one, goes great with the fedora. A good panama goes nice with them, yes, but that's all preference. For me, I tend to stick to light colored hats in the summer, and white I find goes with any Hawaiian shirt. If I could only wear one hat all summer, it would be a white all beaver fedora with a black band. How about you guys, one hat, all summer?

All my shirts are cotton. I'm not comfortable in anything else.

Yeah, when I saw that green shirt, I got all fluttery-eyed. :) It's perfect for my wardrobe. Then again, most Hawaiian shirts seem to go with anything.

I agree. I wear pretty much felt fedoras all year. I have a (not a great) panama, but I just prefer felts, wutc'nahtellya?

For me to wear a panama it'd have to be shaped much like my Feds, III or IV.
