I found this style and it was such a great find I thought that I'd share my find with all of you so you can have a chance to get one too....oh, actually the cool part is that they are ALL COTTON and ONLY $7.99! Geez, finally a tiki-related item not over $25.00! I'm thinking of getting a few more, but I'll wait until next week so those of you who haven't got one yet can get yours (I'd hate to be a hog). Have fun! SugarCaddyDaddy [ Edited by: sugarcaddydaddy on 2002-07-26 15:05 ]

Nice find with that one!

I recommend trying to get a size larger than you usually wear if at all possible! You might get lucky though and maybe they won't shrink on you, but don't count on it!
