The less tasteful the better!

Anyone know of anywhere that sells such sartorial monstrosities?

Me giving sartorial advice to you... 😆

Try Surf style shops for new O'Neill surf shirts, or Vintage stores for actual original shirts.

I got one for £2 in Oxfam, it is truly horrific. Other charity shops are available.

got my cheap and nasty one, for of a fancy dress party (g/f refuses to let me wear it again - trust me I've tried) from Matalan... also managed to get some garishly bright yellow short and t-shirt all for less than a £10!
Then won the best costume "come in something you wouldn't normally wear"... I tend to wear quite dark clothes normally (nowt wrong with black in my book).

Tacky Maxx is another port of call

Captain,

Why?

Just... Why?

In my youth I had been known to wear one as a serious drinking shirt and, when I was on holiday in Hawaii, I bought one to wear because they are [i]de rigeur[/i]. As I got older though, I realised they are slightly too tacky to wear out. As such, I only wear my good Hawaiian shirts now and only for special occasions. Like weddings.

Rokit Vintage will have them, shops in Covent Garden and Brick Lane. Camden Market will also have them somewhere I expect. Charity shops will be cheaper and are probably worth a look if you've got a few nearby.

You're suggesting Flashy goes to Oxfam? Dear God! His Butler wouldn't even set foot in one of those frightful places

Willard, I have my reasons....Rest assured, it shall only be worn once, however!

Also, along with Matalan and TK Maxx mentioned further up, Primark might be worth a look.

I hope there's a suitable tash to accompany this shirt Flashy?

I'm sorry but I've just stopped laughing..

You really think anywhere in Brick Lane will have such satorial elegance?

"you is blind man"

Try Petty Coat Lane Market init. Or that one near LMNH or that other one up in Clerkenwell..

But they are all the otherside of town from you and far too "East" of Aldgate.. You may need oxygen, bring some cramp ons too.
