Hawaiian shirts!

[davedove]

Okay, this was really pushing it for Mardi Gras...Aloha shirt, Tye Dye, and kilt. Maybe for that don't do this list??

Okay, for Mardi Gras I'll accept this one. Otherwise, Whoa, the colors Dude!

A hot green look with the Aloha shirt, t-shirt and basil UK survival II without the cargo pockets which gives it a mocker-like look.

Actually, I really like the colors on this shirt.

Liked it so well I had the sea turtle tattooed on my back.

Wow! That is amazing picture. Have you thought about changing your avatar image to this?!?

I'll have to show this image to my wife who loves turtles.
..imaginary conversation to follow:
"Honey, can I have one?"
"of what, the tatoo or the kilt?!?"
"Both!" :rolleyes:
FYI...Thanks for the info. I bought one of those turtle shirts
Cheers,

There's actually some good ideas here. I need to figure out what I'm wearing for the organizational picnic in two weeks, as the theme is Hawaiian. I figure I'll have to wear my tan Buzz Kidder kilt, as that's the only solid color one I have. Now I just have to decide what shirt to wear. Oh, and what hat; I have to protect the pate.

Thanks Jim,

That's about 20 hours under the needle and enough money for a LOT of kilts.

Dave,

That's the Hawaian Shirt I wore to my little brother's funeral.

Efer,

Go for it!

There are so many fashion fringes to explore with kilts...far beyond the traditional - which is fine - but just one thing.

This board has brought me to Hawaiian shirts and jean jackets with kilts. What a gift. Thank you guys.

The only comment I have is Aloha shirts just ain't right tucked in.

I've been forced to start tucking in my shirts at work and I feel *very* strange, and feel like I look like a git with it tucked.

But do you regularly tuck in button downs, Izods, or other collared shirts at work? If so, why does this feel weird?

[pbpersson]

While I know that some shirts are tailored to be worn untucked, I have always worn all my shirts tucked in. .

I was thinking about this and glad to see there was already a thread on it.

Today I do all my polo shirts untucked - always. I used to get all sorts of grief when I had them tucked because it just makes my (cherry turnover) belly look that much worse. If I wear the shirt untucked then it helps to cover my belly which always seems to get larger.

One of the many reasons why I am buying a black UK is to get myself out there walking every night - regimental - in the desert under the clear starry skies. I just need to get some ambitiion behind me and the kilt will be a good excuse to get out there and my nightly walks will be a great way to get used to the kilt so I think it's a WIN-WIN scenario.

My ex wife once told me that I shouldn't be concerned about my belly protruding, it's natural with age. SO.....I'M GETTING FAT AND OLD??? Was she trying to make me feel better? I don't know about this getting old stuff, I don't think I like it. Now that I've reached 50, how do I start getting younger again? Have you ever seen the movie "Christine" where the car reaches a certain age and the odometer starts running backwards and the car gets newer? How do I do that?

My kilting started just a few years ago after my kids all left home. That is the same time I took up cycling again. The two activities cannot be done simultaneously, but truly complement each other, and I refer to them as my "youth retention program." The belly doesn't go away unless you MAKE it go away.

Almost back on topic - an alternative to wearing Hawaiian shirts with kilts is to wear Hawaiian print kilts. Then, using that most notable exception to the fashion rule, "Never mix prints," Hawaiian prints can be mixed and/or matched between top and bottom.
