Love it Bill.
Rocking the look Bill!!!!!!
Thanks Al-Alex-Alexander... Ale Ale Ale...jandro.^ That's a damn fine hat Quikrick! Looks good on you too! My personal preference would be the shirt in the second photo 'cause it's a little more colorful, but I think they both work with that hat.
Nice! Looking goodJust chillaxin' today...
Real nice, Bill!
And rocking it too. Great combination.Just chillaxin' today...
Well at least that brightens your day up. Somehow my age has become known to advertisers, I keep getting pop ups letting me know that I am eligible for funeral grants. Charming!All I have to do is look at this thread and then I start getting ads for Hawaiian shirts.
The software I use to block pop-up ads works effectively here on The Lounge, but Farcebook is a different story because they let websites advertise within the "news feed" where everyone's posts appear. So, yeah, I read the new posts on this thread and the next time I was on Farcebook they tried very hard to sell me Aloha shirts made by starving children somewhere in Asia.All I have to do is look at this thread and then I start getting ads for Hawaiian shirts.
That reminds me of a pamphlet that I saw many years ago when I was still living in London. There was a photo of a row of small children in Bangladesh, operating some sort of machinery. The caption read: "Next time you think £4:99 is a bargain price for a shirt, think about how the makers could charge such a price." It moved me then and the memory of that photo haunts me still. In my last post I explained that Tina takes around ten hours to make one of my shirts. A reasonable charge would be about £20 @ hour. That price would put the ownership of a bespoke shirt out of the reach of most. There is much similarity with my hat in this photo. Hand made by Esther, it cost a similar price to that which Tina would charge, if she was in business. It does make me wonder if there are those in Mexico and other Latin American countries exploiting the vunerable in order to sell straw hats at a cheap price.So, yeah, I read the new posts on this thread and the next time I was on Farcebook they tried very hard to sell me Aloha shirts made by starving children somewhere in Asia.
