Beautiful colours Bill, I love the way that the shirt and hat are complimentary to one another.

Bill's shirts and hats with the fabulous hatbands inspired me to see how I match up hats with shirts. So, with apologies if you have seen these photos previously, and further apologies to Stefan (Steur) for hijacking his week in hats, given the glorious weather we have recently experienced, here's my week in Aloha shirts. All of which were made by my talented lady.


Tina describes the hat and shirt match as the juxtaposition. I think she swallowed the dictionary:

Juxtaposition is an act or instance of placing two elements close together or side by side. This is often done in order to compare/contrast the two, to show similarities or differences.

Quite so dear, but I simply mix & match, the finish and appearance of my shirts is of your skill and talent.

   Elegant, that's a first. But I do love the compliment. Thank you.

Fabulous shirt Bill, great hat too. Not that I am one to plagiarise or as you say in American speak, plagiarize.

Plagiarize? I try to copy your shirts -unapologetically!

I have an admission to make, it has political implications so apologies for flouting F/L rules. My wife and I used to visit the US at least twice a year. Knowing my fascination for the American civil war, Her Ladyship indulged me as we visited war sites and battlefields in: Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia.

What do you notice about that list? It omits Texas, & Arkansas, the last two States, both of which were part of the Confederacy. One day we hope to put that right. What a dream, visiting Texas and see us both photographed, here on the Lounge, in our respective Aloha shirts.

I am from Newport News, Virginia. That is 13 miles from where Robert E Lee was raised. I went to Stonewall Jackson elementary. We still go home to visit family. So, we might meet up in Virginia.

How the big leaf is so popular on Aloha shirts, I must keep an eye out for the fabric from which, Bill's shirt is made.

Lowey Leghorn for mid-week bible class. This shirt was a gift. It’s a pull over. I think I prefer the button up instead.

Optimo from Paul’s Hat Works.

First time wearing this shirt. Paired it with a semi-calado from Northwest Hats. I need to get a bright red pug to match the shirt better.

My newest Northwest Panama.

Your shirts and hats are a class act Bill, fabulous. It seems like our glorious summer is coming to an end, but every so often we are still treated to sunny days.
This shirt you have seen previously showing the big leaf, but I overlooked complimenting my talented lady about making it. So to make amends, here's the shirt again, with the blue trousers that she made to go with it. Add on the Panama and I'm good to go.

Here's the lady in the dress she made, looking the part.

If you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way, take the highway that is best
Get your kicks on Route sixty-six

It winds from Chicago to LA
More than two thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route sixty-six

Now you go through Saint Looey
Joplin, Missouri
and Oklahoma City is mighty pretty
You see Amarillo
Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona
Don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernandino

Won't you get hip to this timely tip
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on Route sixty-six

I think this one is my favorite of all the ones you've posted.

All? How sad am I? Today, my wife Tina, and I were in the fabric store, see above comments in this thread and you will see the fabric that will be my next shirt.
Looking at the above comment, it made me wonder just how many shirts Tina has made for me. Can't believe this but there's seventy floral, as in Aloha style and a further twelve in plain fabric. The lady is truly a wonder to behold. Best shut up, she might want payment.
