Is $53 too much to pay for this shirt? I really want to have a shirt that looks like the one from Vice City.

Help me, please.

If it is a silk button up shirt I think that's about what they go for regularly. The one Venom silk shirt I bought from Hot Topic was about that price.
Though, I like Scenic Pineapple better.

Doesn't seem like a bad price to me.

I definitely like the blue one better. I agree with the silk part, though this shirt is made out of rayon. I think that's itchy and probably too expensive for that shirt then.

If your wondering if it's too expensive then it probably is. Use your gutt instinct it's usually right. Also there's nothing like buying an expensive piece of clothing and then dropping food all over it. You'll be afraid to wear it. You should shop around for a cheaper shirt.

The majority of my shirts have a secret origin of the following:

1) I see my brother wearing something which looks pretty nice, in my opinion.

2) I ask to borrow it once.

3) I quite like it.

4) I avoid returning it.

5) DRAMA! He claims that he wants his shirt back. I say, "if you let me have it, I will buy you a new shirt, whatever you want." He sees that he will have an opportunity to get a new piece of clothing (he is quite the fashion devil), says OK, and off to the mall we go.

6) I get him the shirt as per the agreement above. Occasionally I will take the opportunity to buy a shirt as well. Without fail, whenever I buy a shirt under these circumstances it SUCKS. I just don't end up liking it. It eventually becomes Mike's.

Funnily enough, none of the shirts that Mike picks out are ones that eventually fall into my clutches. Presumably because, if I liked it when he was choosing it, I'd either get one myself, or tell him that it looks like crap, then secretly purchase it.

(The rest of the items in my wardrobe come from the replica jersey section at the team store at www.saintsreport.com, in case anyone out there needed this "intel.")

So this is a long way of saying that I don't know if $50 for that is fair or not. It could be, I guess. I guess I'll get it. It can make an appearance at the CGE or something.

Hawiian shirts rock. You should just steal some from Cathy's dad while he's not looking.

He only had one real hawiian shirt. The rest are just really ugly shirts that he got on sale that just happen to have fish or trees on them. My dad is not good with fashion.

The one hawiian shirt he did own actually was in the scrap bin. One halloween I used it to be a tourist. I didn't actually want to dress up and it was cold. I had a lei and a camera. I got candy and no one asked me what I was. I don't know where the shirt is now. That's probably a good thing.

The last time I wore rayon was in the seventh grade, and it was quite hip back then so I remember it being overpriced. So I both don't know how much things have changed or remember what it felt like to wear it.

I'm still occasionally wearing a hawiian shirt I bought at Walgreen's for $10, usually the one time a year I go golfing.

Awesome link, Worm! The "He Ain't Comin' Back to Preach" tee is the best and, moreover, a bargain at $14.85.

I acquire many shirts in a similar, but much simpler fashion -- my brother gives me his surplus ones. He's also assisting me in obtaining a new shirt next weekend since we are doing our annual R.O.G.A.I.N.E (six hour - for us -orienteering event) and there will be the traditional t-shirt with a picture of the event's mascot, Woody the Woodchuck. I have a number of such shirts but you never know when you will need another shirt with a woodchuck on it. Especially one proclaiming "Woody Forever". Anyway, beats going to the mall.

Right now I am wearing a shirt purchased about a million years ago at the Volunteers of America that's down in the same area as East High School if I recall. When you work at home you lose all fashion sense. When I worked at an office with a dress code I found a whole box of ties for $2.00 at that thrift store and thus never actually bought a new tie for the 13 years of my corporate incarceration. (No, I was not on the managment fast track) Besides which my office mates were treated to a revolving exhibit of the history of neckware.

I can't shop for shirt in real stores. I always buy something that grabs my attention in its own right, striking color or something, but then I put it on and realize that while, say Van Goh's Starry Night is eye catching it doesn't look so hot on my skinny back.

I picked up a "Repent or Perish" one it has gotten a little hole in it but aside from that they are good quality.

This place has some awesome T-Shirts ... a bit pricey. I got a WWKD (What Would Kirk Do) T-shirt for twenty bucks ... it's pretty good quality and pretty much gets people talking to me who regularly wouldn't. Worst part is when they ask me who Kirk is.
EDIT: This is probably the one I'm getting next http://www.awit.com/cgi-bin/image2.pl?p ... ainbig.jpg

I have a friend who has a closet of Hawaiian Shirts ... I could ask where he gets his.
