If you look at the Tonga Hut photos, I was wearing a muted-BUT Tiki- shirt :) . And there IS that Tommy Bahama faded/monchrome/navy type of shirt that is trying to be less "loud", which in my opinion is the opposite of what a Hawaiian shirt examplifies. But we had discussions bout that before here... The "Look of Tiki" will show 99% vintage shirts, many so loud, they just don't make'em anymore like that. I like those Tikis you are posing with! Highly stylized, but in a good way. I am always partial to that narrow-on-the-bottom/wide-on-the-top style.
