I was there yesterday. Kind of not impressed. I liked the inside out red pattern. The quality seemed nice, but they were made from an odd pattern. The sleeves were too long and too wide. I could fit two arms in a single sleeve. It could be better on the smaller sizes, or even for a bigger guy wearing an XL, but for me, it just fit really weird. Even the large, the sleeves seemed too wide/long.

Hey Hale Tiki... sorry, lost the focus of your reply... did you try the Macy's shirts, or the American Apparel? I see Macy's has an inside-out red shirt, if that's the one you were referencing.

I really like the diversity of the patterns for the American Apparel shirts... would be great if they had a good fit too... I like how they have floral AND tapa patterns, and even tapa-inspired patterns, so there's lots from which to choose!

And great to see American Apparel going retro in the right direction... they started out very 70's, which was great, and then the started moving towards 80's fashion, which was dreadful then, and just as much of an eyesore now... glad to see them tapping into tiki culture patterns!
