The lady has gone all bashful, but both she, and I, thank you all most kindly, much appreciated.

Ran across one of the Paradise Found shirts just like Tom Selleck wore in the Magnum PI tv series (Finally found one that wasnt asking full retail lol). Trying to figure if it goes best with Bound edge of the Hemp Stratoliner, or the unbound Stetson Hemp Bristol with the wider ribbon. Nothing against Tom Selleck, but I think a brimmed hat looks better with it than an old baseball cap. Got the shirt...got a mustache.... now I just need a beach house and a Ferrari

The hat is a Stetson and the Hawaiian shirt is a quicksilver.I Really love that shirt and it was more expensive than the hat I think I was in my 20's when I was out shopping and came over this shirt outside a store selling shirts on their outside.

Both look good, but I really like the bound edge!

And here, for you, this is the updated Magnum car (Robin 2)

Ive got a stack of hemp stratoliners ( and one Bristol) taking their turn on the brim flange under steam today. A few had a bit more upward curl than I liked. Flattening them out just a hair. I love a snap brim but I dont need it to rise up an inch and a half lol. Ive found that a tad bit of flattening really helps keep the front brim on these a bit less wonkey. DO love a nice contrasting bound edge on them

My Gannon and a new Hawaiian shirt this evening.

Spent wayyy too much on this 40s CA postcard themed aloha shirt, but it’s a perfect fit and oh so comfortable on those 85+ degree days. Paired with a whippet that almost has a sea foam green color to the felt in certain light.

The lady is particularly good at pattern matching, seen here with these examples. When buttoned the pattern on both front panels line up perfectly, and the breast pocket all but disappears. To achieve that means more fabric than suggested on the pattern. Who am I to whinge at the cost? All my shirts are made to such detail.

Tina is tremendously talented

Tina still gets bashful at compliments, something that I find very endearing. I passed your comment on, she simply smiled and whispered a thank you.


Today's weather is a comfortable 70F. Perfect for Aloha shirt, straw Panama and two tone spectator shoes. The wide bottom trousers with the turned up cuff are straight off the lady's sewing machine, as is the shirt, of course.

Tomorrow we have rain predicted but the sunshine returns next week allowing us to take our vintage MG on a 100 mile journey. We have been invited to display the car at Summertime Swing:

As others have said... many compliments to the better half for lining up the pattern halfs so well... it really makes the shirts clean looking
