It must be very rare and powerful! The holy grail of vintage headhunter wear. Any vintage clothing experts out there have a comment?

I'm familiar with the Mr. Guy label but was unaware that anything with it was so valuable. I think we may be, once again, observing stupidity in action...

There are not too many dot com IPOs these days, so that disposable income has to go somewhere

If I spend that kind of money on something it better have moving parts or be too big for the indoors...think of the tiki carving you could get for $2300!!!!

That high bidder must be somehow associated with the Iron Chefs.

Hey, do ya' ever wonder if some of these high-bidders, y'all know the usual suspects, are actually just running up their credit cards with wild abandon?
Kinda' like those people who were "addicted" to Beanie Babys and would just go into debt to get 'em...
Hmmmmm...
Aloha,

Seriously,
Someone needs to reproduce that shirt. It's top-notch. It must be extremely rare. And it goes with so many cultures - Rock-a-billy, Hawaiian, Swing, Exotica, Tiki, Bowling. I bet it's going straight into a glass frame on a wall, though. The people at Shag-mart or Toes-on-the-Nose need to contact the buyer when this is all done.

We need to get someone with the ability to manufacture hawaiian/bowling shirts involved with Tiki Central so we can have cool articles like this produced!
