this is an interesting discussion in light of this piece of history.

for those of us who have been to the mai kai sporting a variety of headgear, it would seem that the mai kai in general frowns on hearwear in the dining area, but this has varied from time to time. of course they allow aloha shirts very readily.

which ties in to this original article. would this trader vic's have allowed a present-day tikiphile in, wearing an aloha shirt? probably not. the same dress code that forbade headwear in the dining room would also favor suits and ties in favor of aloha shirts.

just a little poi for thought...
