Do you have little anchors, captain's wheels, compass points and tthe like printed on the t-shirts? :D

You can put anything like that and we put the names and dates

In the spring/early summer at Kohl's (Kohl's.com) is where I've seen men's shorts with ocean-themed prints, ocean-themed print shirts.

I've purchased some of the shirts for my husband to wear at work (gives him and his land-locked, frozen tundra in winter a much needed break from reality). Didn't purchase the shorts this year because he didn't want them. It was hard for me to resist buying at least one pair, but next year I'm not going to resist, I'm getting him one pair.

Try Stein Mart. I work part time there in the men's department. There are several brands that carry "cruise wear". Some stores are considered a Resort Store.

I guess some preppies are as migratory as hospitality professionals😉

Probably more so. Preppies migrate once a year, hospitality professionals maybe once every 1.5 to 2 years. Some only as infrequently as once very 5 years... ;)

Of course many of the the serious sailors among them do it twice a year: Newport or Nantucket in the summer, The BVI in winter, then crank in the optional shoulder seasons: April in Paris or spring skiing at Park City.

Depending on the season you may find nautical / tropical themed clothing at:

J.Crew

Ralph Lauren

Vineyard Vines

You'll probably have to look at the outlets and clearance items this time of year.

J. Crew Factory has a bunch right now

Nautical's clearance site has lots of polos with anchors, etc.

One of my friends' husband is a private yacht captain. He summers in the Med, mostly from Mallorca, and winters in the Caribbean, mostly out of St. Martin/St. Maarten. They get their Spring Skiing done in Vail...

Back on topic - I remember Vineyard Vines. And, Land's End and LL Bean having some khakis in the nautical theme...

I agree with these suggestions.

I buy gowns/dresses from the ebay seller danatwo. They usually start selling at the end October to the beginning of November. I have bought Tommy Bahama shirts and other brands for my husband. A lot are new with the tags or like new. I have also bought from other sellers. Do a search on there with a brand you like or key words like hawaiian shirt, cruise wear etc. I don't think a lot of sellers use that in the title, but some do. Have fun shopping.

Thanks so much for getting back to me....in record time! :)

The reason I've been relying on websites (& store websites) is that I live in Australia but have a sister living in CA whose address I use for shipping purposes.

Selection is greater in the US than Australia but unfortunately I won't be spending any time in the US (to look in stores)before my next cruise.

Go over to Manly. There is a Tommy Bahama store there, plus a number of other beachwear and resort wear stores - mostly at the ocean beach end of The Corso.

In Fort Lauderdale, Fl, Maus & Hoffman., wonderful mens store with good sports clothes.

If you're coming to the Fort Lauderdale area there is a huge mall. It is about 15 miles from Port Everglades and there are a million stores there. :) I believe the cruise lines do trips out there.

If you do buy online from either ebay or some other place see if they will give you the measurements. Even if you wear a L (or which ever size) the actual shirt or dress can have different measurements even within the same company.

Hubs wears Vineyard Vines also...

Many thanks for all your suggestions.....i'm now 'well kitted out'! :)

Tommy Bahama is a another popular label and the clothes are good quality, if a little pricey.

Yep! and macys.com sells it.
