When it hits 90 here in North Texas I wear straw (and associated shirts). I don't care what anybody thinks.

Hawaiian/Aloha shirts existed long before the "Boogaloo Boys" started their nonsense, and they'll exist long after the Boogaloo Boys are forgotten. As long as you don't act like a whack job Q anarchist, I think you'll be okay.

I’d never heard of the “bugaloo boyz” before the post above, but just because some idiots wear Hawaiian/Aloha shirts that’s no reason to stop wearing yours/mine.

Yep, I don't know who they are either, or what they did or do.

Just to save future readers a bit of time, the "Boogaloo Boys" (a.k.a. the "Boogaloo Bois") is a "loosely organized far-right anti-government extremist political movement" here in the United States. The participants regularly wear a combination of Hawaiian/Aloha shirts and military fatigues in order to identify themselves as Boogaloo Boys/Bois at protests.

Mr Hughes, you wear that shirt/hat combination with aplomb, fabulous.
The weather has been a mix of extreme heat and rain, but mostly heat. I've been looking forward to wearing the straw hats at the weekend. At work I don't wear a hat in the office, obviously. In the warehouse, hard hats are compulsory: Here's mine.
The sun shone this morning, but not for long, a great excuse to give Esther's Strat-look-a-like an outing.

Great praise coming from the one who sets the standard we all strive to emulate.

My trip to NW Hats and a visit with Mike Miller (I fondled the boxes being sent to Bill Hughes, already had been packed up unfortunately) I also came home with a pugaree for my custom semi-colado. I needed something that would be appropriate for our family vacation to Hawaii in December. This new hat band should fit the bill nicely, now to find a matching shirt. Maybe I'll just buy one on Waikiki!

Ooh-la-la! Beautiful! You will be spoilt for choice in Waikiki, but if you simply have to have a shirt to compliment that hat, then I suggest the Cereus flower.

Ha! this is perfect! I'll get one ordered for the summer. We are going to Hawaii over Christmas with the entire extended family. This should be an epic vacation!

Tina is putting the finishing touches to my new Aloha shirt, hopefully I can show it off soon.
In the meantime, here's some of her previous work, she made all three shirts and the trousers too.

You have such a way with words Thomas, thank you. The shoes, the navy & white spectators are from former Lounger SimonC, who trades as SJC, https://simonjamescathcart.com/products/navy-spectator-shoes
Colin Johnson made the green & cream pair. He calls the colour, Oxford Racing Green.

The burgundy shoes are by Hockerty. They are out of production now, but the current pair are very similar.
