Everyone knows the best leather for the summer is FCL in 2mm. You go from your air conditioned house to your air conditioned car to your air conditioned workplace. Finally back home and take a cool shower in your FCL for the brand story.
Looking to maybe getting a fifth leather this year? ?

Are leather Hawaiian shirts a thing? Asking for a friend.
"Hawaiian shirts’ meanings play out in surprising ways within the far-right’s efforts to make their ideology mainstream. For mainstream onlookers, Hawaiian shirts worn with tactical gear may fool them about the boogaloo’s true colours. The common association of Hawaiian prints with relaxed easy-going attitudesis misguided here. The boogaloo are bent on violence and hope for a second civil war to advance their agenda.Far-right ‘boogaloo’ movement is using Hawaiian shirts to hide its intentions
The boogaloos, a far-right community, have taken to wearing Hawaiian shirts. This co-option is far from the spirit of the shirt, which signifies respect for all animated or inanimate beings.theconversation.com
Called aloha shirts in Hawaii, these garments were reclaimed from their colonialist implications by Indigenous Hawaiian designers. Since the mid-1980s, designers like Sig Zane have injected aloha prints with authentic Indigenous energy.
Early Hawaiian shirts featured Asian motifs, which were replaced by local motifs in the 1930s. With this shift the shirts started embodying “aloha,” meaning respect for all animated or inanimate beings.
For Hawaiians, and especially Indigenous Hawaiians, the boogaloo’s co-opting of Hawaiian shirts is outrageous. In today’s Hawaii, aloha shirts symbolize tolerance and Hawaiians don’t want it associated with the racism of the boogaloo."
