Ham, while some Hawaiian shirts are "brash, gaudy, multicoloured shirts, bedecked with drawings of swaying palm trees and grass-skirted nubile wenches" (and there is nothing wrong with any of that, esecially the nubile wenches!), I am not sure if this particular shirt would be classified as Hawaiian or just patterned. The pattern is pineapples and leaves, so from that perspective, it would fit the bill as Hawaiian. I also agree that when I think Hawaiian shirt, I think more colors and a bolder shirt. As may be, I am having fun trying out some new options with my kilts, especially my solid ones. In reality, a solid color kilt should pair nicely with any shirt that one would previously worn with a similar colored pair of trousers.
Now, being able to match (or accept) patterned/Hawaiian shirts with tartan kilts is somewhat in the future for me. Matt has posted some pictures of a gentleman achieving a very nice look with it, but I am not at that level yet.
Cloves, thanks! Glad you enjoy the pictures, and the PK is awesome! I feel honored that I was able to get 2 of the final PK's that Jeff created. This one, and a grey twill lined with Black Watch for colder weather. Jeff did excellent work, and I would like to find a way to bring it back.
