"winning" on ebay
the good thing about ebay is even when you buy items without bidding on the buy it now option, it still says you've won them.

which makes even the most impulsive misguided buys seem like items to treasure and cherish

I originally had 8 of these bad boys I 'won' on ebay. They have a habit of mysteriously going missing when the wife does the laundry. The other 3 weren't as tasteful as these. she thinks it's ironic the term 'won' was used during their purchase:


In their defence, I defy anyone to be depressed or sustain an unhappy thought in one of these shirts.
Sometimes, I slip one on whilst listening to 1950s lounge music and pretend I'm Montgomary Clift.

facial topairy is compulsory when wearing, toothpicks are optional

Brilliant
Mine are not quite a flamboyant, but that's simply 'cos I didn't think of buying them on ebay.

Surprisingly, some of the older shirts are quite valuable.
Vintage is my day job, and I've handled some vintage Hawaiian clothes that had a retail price near my mortgage payment. The 'bolder' the pattern the better!
