This quote to me speaks to what happens when those great old places slowly die like the Kahiki did.
Willis & Geiger made those awesome shirts that you would see in the old safari and war movies.
Ernest Hemingway even had a shirt made by them just for him.

“Unfortunately good brands of heritage are a reflection of their original management; when they become professionally managed, they lose the spark that brought them to where they are today. I found that to be classic in the industry. Whenever they go into second- and third-generation management, they lose themselves. They no longer have the passion that was originally part of their DNA.Willis & Geiger”

Here is an odd Kahiki? Item found on eBay.
I know the seller but am not endorsing or saying don’t buy, just more of a lookie here thing.
