Maybe I'm opening a can of worms here, but I know some of you (you know who you are) like to stir the pot. So here's a new pot to stir- What is considered proper tiki attire? One doesn't want to end up on the "FOM Tiki Event Fashion Police" thread! Are Cooke Street shirts considered to be the Party City Tikis of shirtdom? What about reverse print patterns in general? Reyn Spooner? Hilo Hattie? Iolani? Tori Richard? Kamehameha Garment Company? Cotton vs silk vs rayon vs polyester? Plastic vs wood vs abalone shell buttons? Subtle vs gaudy? Guayaberas? Paneled bowling shirts? Let's hear it. I don't want you laughing behind my back at Oasis :o Blurring the fine line between art and crap. [ Edited by: MadDogMike 2009-01-05 06:24 ]
