Hawaiian shirts and fedoras

The senorita shirt is top shelf GHT!!

Eric that's a fine looking shirt. Great pattern and colors and has a vintage look even if it's not. I totally understand your hesitance to overuse the rarer ones. There's a lot to be said for modern wash and wear.

Praise indeed, I am flattered.
There's something about sunny days and straw hats. One of my straws is this, arguably, trilby. My wife hates it, she says it looks like something sold on a beach stall, that a non hat wearer might buy on impulse:


So for the sake of the peace, it rarely gets an airing. My wife, however, absolutely loves the Biltmore and to be fair, so do I. She argues that it's a hat wearer's hat, (whatever that means.) It was expensive but such good value. I think that both hats, compliment the shirts that she makes me, perfectly. But I know when to compliment her and when to shut up.


As yet, she hasn't expressed an opinion on the Optimo, my cricket hat, perhaps the jury is still out. She doesn't know how much it cost either! Is there a dedicated thread for Montecristi hats?

Nice ones GHT. I'm partial to the stingy brims myself, so I like the one in the top pic. I also really like that Rte.66 pattern. Of course, the purple shirt in the bottom photo is pretty swank, too.

Grateful thanks, goodness, that thread has been dormant for nine years yet you found it just like that, I'm impressed. I see that you are from Alabama. I love the slow drawl of the Alabama accent, we were having a great meal in some restaurant where the waiter took five minutes to ask if we wanted wine. it was the emphasis on the word wine. I love it.

GHT, you're welcome. Yes, we're world renowned for turning a single syllable word into multi syllable ones.

I had a great aunt who spent twenty five years in the UK teaching children on US military bases. She would return to the states every summer and Christmas holiday. She acquired the "English" accent while there. Combine that with the southern drawl and it would take me a bit to understand her when we visited.

That's just Irish.

The shirt depicts bamboo plants although I've been told more than once that it looks a lot like the cannabis plant. Well I don't know about that, but the only addictive thing about this picture is the fabulous, Belgian made hat. Just can't get over the novelty of it.

Just returned from a road trip so catching up, way to hold down the fort Eric and GHT! From sunny caly a few days back while on the road, a vintage Mikado from BSHW paired with a Avanti repop

Lovely shirt Mike, and a great straw, so unusual with that broad hatband. Righteous is an apt description. Love it.

Mike, that shirt/hat combo rocks!

Thank you fellas, hopefully the weather in my native NW will catch up with our southern neighbors soon. I got a chance to exercise 3 Alohas while on the road but still waiting for prevailing warmth to flow up here

Great shirts Mike and GHT. We're getting closer to Aloha attire here in NE Ohio, but I will be in coastal NC next week so will break somke out!

 

[mikespens]

Hope the surfs up too Perry!

Typically, Memorial Day weekend kicks off Aloha Fridays here at the office. I'll have to wait until then to wear them into work, but will likely be breaking a few out soon for non-office hours if the weather stays nice!

Ha, that too!!

This coming Monday, in the UK, is a public holiday. Like most holidays on our Island, they are known as: The rain making season. It doesn't put me off, I can always cover up with a grey trenchcoat and matching brolly.
