I know, shirts with Tikis are hard to find, but before you start whining about unavailability, take as inspiring example (and style guide!) Tiki Kate's thread: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=23895&forum=5 Some of these shirts (and hundreds more) will be in my next tome, "The Look of Tiki", which will answer any and all questions about the "proper" Tiki look (albeit with mostly vintage shirts). :)
