This shirt depicts travel from the golden era, well golden for those that could afford.

Shirt gives awesome feeling, you feel like you are walking on beautiful beach among palm trees.Tori Richard (100% Viscose) from the thrift for $1.50.
Great shirt and a great pattern, I love pin-ups on a shirt but sometimes it can be controversial. But it's all in the eye of the beholder, nonetheless I only wear this shirt on occasions when I know that no one will complain.

It's hand made, you can just about read the label. My wife makes most of our clothes.I would wear that one just about anytime. Nice…who is the maker?

The attention and compliments that this shirt gets is unbelievable. My guess is that so many Brits have visited the US, and along with the song that made Route 66 famous, it's one of those must have's, but it's only available if you have a talented missus.

Mind you, Tina not only made the shirt, she completely redesigned the trousers. Originally they were slim fit, tapered and as is today's style, without a turned up cuff. Being oversize gave her a lot of material to work with. She unpicked the waist, the crotch seam and each leg seam. Then she reduced the taper by taking in the waist and pelvic area, she then turned up a cuff on the hem of each trouser leg and finally she sewed the pants back together again. Not bad for five pounds. And of course with Colin Johnson's shoes and Esther's hat, I'm bound to get a comment, or even a compliment, or two. All I have to do is wear my fine outfit.
