Kauai Dude, I am now in Munich and "Hawaiian" shirts are everywhere. The are selling baby aloha shirts in C&A! As I said earlier, the shirts here are mostly the ugly kind. But they are here, you won't look like a dork.<BR><BR>BTW, my tour guide today pointed out his friend was wearing an aloha shirt that he gave him. It was from ABC store!!

Go for it! As long as you are not heading to the Ritz for tea, you'll be fine. I've been a collector for years now and have always had a few with me on summer trips.I was actually offered 1000 francs in Buddha Bar for one of my favorites (don't think I was part of the deal). Had to say no but did meet a couple of interesting guys! Tino has it right: they just aren't that available in Europe but no less admired by the true aficionado.

Kal? save a clean one for the fireworks. Mahalo, bro.

You've convinced me, I'm packing my Tommy Bahama silk shirts and everyone on the Amalfi will love it!

I usually avoid these clothing threads (no pun intended)like the plague, but I would like to add that it seems to me that Hawaiian shirts (and skirts and bathing suits and other articles of clothing with Hawaiian prints) seem to be becoming very popular in many European countries. I've seen them in store windows (and on people) in England, Italy, and France in the past couple of years. My French plumber wears one often. For places where casual attire is appropriate, I think they're fine.
