Hawaiian shirts and fedoras

[Tukwila]

One of my favorite Hawaiian shirts, paired with a lightweight parabuntal summer straw.

That is one sharp image, the background colour of the shirt looks black, it certainly highlights the detail. The hat and shades complete the look, I love it.

I had to try on 5 hats with this shirt. Only the black crown ribbon worked with the black shirt.

Five hats, and only one worked. Beau Brummell would have been proud of you. I tease, but I do take your point, take care over every item and it brings the ensemble together, just so.

We've been promised the return of the sunshine, and it's warming up. If it does get hotter I will have to change this hat for a straw. Sorry Esther.

We have just returned from a lovely Sunday afternoon, impromptu picnic. Some friends with a large garden suggested we all descend on their place. Music from the era, good food and great company, it was a wonderful five hours.

Chin-chin my friend! Love that shirt.

Chin-chin my friend! Love that shirt.

You are a charmer, as always, thank you. The UK has been hit by Storm Helen, wind speeds range from 60 to 80 mph, depending on where you are in the country. Curiously though, it's still quite warm. I may have to change the straw for a felt if the strong wind persists.

Thanks Red, what do you think of it's sibling?

Can't wait for summer.

Can't wait for summer.

Who said anything about waiting? Besides, the old MG likes to get out and about instead of gathering cobwebs.

My black felt needs a new hatband, and tomorrow I hope to get that sorted. This shirt might be on a par with Tukwila's but my hat has certainly seen better days, couldn't part with it though. I just love that parabuntal.

At the garage this morning, whilst filling my wife's car, the cashier asked if I had a loyalty card, then said, "of course not, you don't like a profile made of your purchases." "Am I known for being cranky?" I enquired. "No," she replied, "You are known as the man who wears a hat and colourful shirts." And I thought that I was just another face in the crowd.

It just doesn't get any better than this.

It just doesn't get any better than this.

Actually, it does, and it's on your doorstep, or it was, last weekend. One of these years I'm going to bring the car over there. We have done Daytona, on a Harley weekend, that was well worth it too. Dined out on that for months afterwards.

I would consider it an honor to meet you. Visit if you are in the area. I live between Daytona Beach and Orlando. We have an all electric Zero motorcycle. Beats anything in the area. We just had bike week at Daytona Beach. Cool link you have -MG's!.

The shirt isn't floral, but I'm sure that my favourite member of The Rat Pack would approve.
As he famously sang:

I matched the man behind the bar for the jukebox.
And the music takes me back to Tennessee.
And they ask, "who's the fool in the corner crying?"
I say, "a little ole wine drinker, me"
