Hawaiian Shirts - Aloha Shirts
samurai I assume you've checked out the classic tomes by Hope and Schiffer, and there's an old and rare but not too expensive label called Golden Lotus of Waikiki that shows up every now and again on ebay, with very strong Asian themes, and there were quite a few Penney's in that style as well...- dr greg

Casablanca Suit
dame? And a fine interplay between the tie and the top the dame is wearing; even with the roof of the market stalls That ain't no dame buddy, unless I am mistaken, that looks a lot like a VERY young Lauren Bacall, which might explain the grin on Bogey's dial. -

Folkwear Pattern: #130 Australian Bush Outfit
bush? As an australian who lives in the 'bush' I can categorically state I have NEVER seen anyone wearing anything remotely resembling that outfit, and I've been around more than once.

The Spanish Civil War
to encourage the others I hitchhiked through Spain when the general was still alive, and remember the walls still pockmarked with bullet and shell holes that had never been repaired, I was told that this was there to remind people of their defeat 30+ years before. Apparently more people were...
