I wear a barkcloth aloha shirt when the temperature gets above 40C (~105F) and humid because it wicks sweat well and holds its shape. Wearing one on a motorcycle is better than air conditioning. They're classic, comfortable, welcoming, and appropriate almost everywhere if they are actual barkcloth (not fake and cotton), and you are basically fit.
You need to have a certain level of confidence and self-acceptance (and coin for a real one) to pull one off, so socially they can be a great filter as well.

- motohagiography 3y agoExcept the texture of regular cotton shirts is what disqualifies them. I am referring to barkcloth as the texture and thickness, and not the poplin and polyester that characterizes cheap immitations. I mean sure, you can wear some representation of an aloha shirt made of velour if you wanted to, but it doesn't carry the same comfort, or appropriateness.
