Free Island Style - ethnic clothing 216 E. 9th Street #A, but even better is next door Sina Fashion - Hawaiian Shirts at 214 E. 9th Street Also there is a fabric store on Wall a half a block north of 9th (on the West side of the street) that only sells hawaiian fabrics.

It is not the most economical thing to freshen one's Hawaiian shirt collection at Tommy Bahama's. I'll plan on stopping by the next time I visit the flower mart.

We stopped by on Sunday before heading on back to the Bay Area and most but not all of the shops were open. I over heard a young woman explaining to her co-shoper that on Saturday it "is SO crowded here that Sunday is a much better day to shop" By the way it was very crowded this past Sunday not to mention Very Hot and Humid.

I forgot to bring the right paper with the name and address of the two stores mentioned earlier. It was HOT! All i ended up was getting a bunch of socks that were too small for me. Boy, parts of my weekend SUCKED!!

The building's design & decor are architecturally breathtaking! Also, the Maguire gardens have numerous water features. There is also free net service which has a 10 minute limit, so little to no waiting. Lastly, it is near the Standard. All of this means, Go Back. I forgot to visit last time I hit the flower mart and want another review.

LA has a great garment district, and a great jewelry district. I think you'll have a great time there. There's lots of history in the old buildings. Have fun!
