Did you count the Tikis? Judging by the colors and the rendering style, this scarf is from the 70s. There just was a cool T.V.'s scarf with the classic Kay art from the menu on e-bay.

For anybody who knows how much I love A-frames, it will be obvious that for my money, THIS is the most amazing scarf Trader Vic's ever made:

These different Trader Vic locations, with San Francisco and Oakland in the center, are sketched mostly from postcards that I have or have seen, but there are a couple of entrances that I have never seen before in any other form!:

Never mind the scragly, non-color style of the renderings, this scarf, like an ancient parchment, might contain the only visual proof of places like the DENVER Trader Vic's...and who ever knew that the Portland and the Chicago one (pictured below) used to have A-frame entrances!

I was very tempted to use this finery in TIKI MODERN, in the A-frame chapter, but I had so much other good material, and the fact that it is FABRIC made me save it for the LOOK OF TIKI book. :)
