Err... wait... move the decimal... ACK! You gotta think that the people collecting these shirts think we're nuts for what we spend on Tiki's.

I am happy with the 11.00 tiki shirts I found at Walmart this summer. The nicest tiki shirt I own was only 60.00 and that was a custom Mai Kai shirt depicting Rarotongans and Mai Kai logos made by Cybertiki's wife.

A few years ago, the Japanese were kicking down big $$ for them. You'll still see nice ones go for a couple hundred $ up to $1000+. I'll stick with my thrift finds and repros for now. Aloha, :tiki:
