PATTERNED SUMMER SHIRTS

the weather forecast told us, that there will be rain and thunderstorms today in middle germany and that the next days will be about 20°C. okay, there was some rain and low winds that blow the 37°C from this morning away. for 1 hour we have had about 22°C, and now at 5 PM it is nearly 30°C again. so the next days i think it's good to know some colored short sleeved shirts in the cupboard. here some of my favorites. as you see: i love patterned shirts. pics | LTG

LIFE TIME GEAR | FAVORITES #61 | REYN SPOONER HAWAII SHIRTS

S U M M E R T I M E ! in february i did a first post about REYN SPOONER HAWAII SHIRTS when presenting AMTRAQ DISTRIBUTION. UWE gave me some time ago three shirts. and now these shirts are tested by 30°C outside in the shadow and i must tell you: just perfect to wear, lightweight, fresh looking with an old school touch, no sweating – i love it. and believe me, there is really a great difference in the performance of a real hawaiian shirt or a a wanna be indeed! here again the significant characteristics of an authentic hawaiian shirt made by REYN SPOONER:

_ the shirt has to be a straight seam with side vents; not round like shirts worn into a trouser

_ pockets that do not break into the pattern design

_ POP OVER or PULL OVER cut for pulling over the head

_ REVERSE PRIN. this means that the shirt is printed inside. so the pattern is not so expressive and looks smarter. a look like bleached from the sun and the saltwater
