Location: south east Michigan | I did an inventory of my "tropical" style shirts. The number comes to eight. I am asking my friends here to be brave and do a simular count. I am just wondering how I fit in the bell curve.
Yes...I have a desire for a uke and a pontoon boat but no,I don't wear black socks with sandles and the waist of my shorts does not reside north of the navel.
Still...the shirt thing is a concern. Do I have a problem?

I've got over 30! But for me, they're more like a uniform than "just a shirt". Hell, I buy a new one and write it off as a business expense!
Just kidding on that last. |

Airplane Prints on them. I mention the latter because I got it on sale with a sign that said tropical Style shirts.
That's all for me.

Location: Waurika OK | I have four, people around here never know what I may wear. Today it is kahki pants and a sports shirt, tomorrow it may be wranglers & boots, then slacks and a pull over. Tomorrow I will probably start out in bluegeans, then a suit for the funeral of a classmates mother, then into ????
Sometimes people introduce me as a preacher and the ones I'm introduced to say "You don't look like a preacher." I always say "Thanks".
Whats a preacher supposed to look like anyway?

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | I had two. Now I only have one. I lost the other one to a thief in Shenzen, near guanzhou last year. Rotten bastard, stole my bag at the train station, but he was probably desperate and really needed it. notthing important stolen just clothing. But there was one angry gringo in china that day. I noticed at the salvation army that they had dozens of HI shirts. You can get 'em for 5 bucks a piece! |

You need to get the matching holster to make it count!
My count is eight, plus some T's.
Whenever I an foraging for Men's wear I have an eye out for the perfect HI shirt. It's out there somewhere, I know it!
Probably one with 48'Wagons and Surfboards - lotsa Woody's all over it!.

I do, however, have TWO OFC T-shirts. Does that make up for it?????? :D

Location: Las Cruces, NM | I had some great HI shirts when I was a kid and they disappeared from spontaneous combustion they were so hot, but I checked my closet and all I could see was snap up sleeves on cowboy shirts, maybe 15 or 20 that I can't wear anymore cause they are tailored and I ain't tailored anymore unless I can find some maternity ones somewhere. That signifies my preoccupation with mountains and desert instead of ships and beaches.

Location: SE Michigan | Sadly I must admit to owning zero flowered shirts as well. I do however own at least two T-shirts of every color in the human visible spectrum. I also have a couple that only dogs can see.
I am reknown for my extensive collection of Flip-Flops, I find them the perfect footwear, even in winter if the snows not too deep. |

My fashion statement is having around 20 brightly colored bicycle jerseys for use on my evening rides. :D

Location: Central Oregon | I have one HI shirt with airplanes on it. Love airplanes. No flowers though.
In fact we're having an airshow/antique car & bike show here tomorrow. I got two free tickets for entering one of my bikes. I get in free & I can park right in the middle of everything & don't have to walk. Armed guards to watch my bike while I'm checking out airplanes, what a deal. An old friend of mine & his band will be playing there too.

I'd like to be there in a cowboy shirt. Armed gaurds to protect your bike? I'd also like to be there when you try to get on your bike in a flowered HI shirt and are run off the grounds at gunpoint as a likely OFC thieving pervert.

Yep. They're actually the county police. They're pretty careful about who does what around airports these days. Even little dinky ones like ours have lots of security, especially when there's an event going on.
I won't have any trouble getting my bike back. Those guys all know who I am, my wife makes out & signs their paychecks. :)

Then there is no excuse for not having them round up any banjo players that try to pass themselves off as musicians as perpertrators of massive fraud. :cool: |

Glad to hear it was a success. Our first annual Las Cruces Bluegrass Festival yesterday came off very well, good crowd, great bands and good media coverage. Sounds like another one will be possible next year. I overcame my antipathy for banjo players and even appeared with one or two on a stage with a fun jammin band during the jammin segment, I seem to have caught a rash however from my carelessness, it's on my mandolin, the top is turning white and looking like stretched sheepskin.
