Title: Striper Sweat
Post by: nelz on March 02, 2018, 03:14:07 AM
I stopped by a thrift shop looking for tackle bargains and a very cool shirt caught my eye. It has a really nice graphic of a Striped Bass and says Happy Hooker Lincroft, NJ. Normally I don't go for used clothes, but I had to have this, and it actually looked new.

Anyway, I can't seem to find any info on this HH. Googled it to no avail. Anybody have a clue?

Ouch! Yeah, that'd be a sad ending to "livin' the dream".  :'(

I thought maybe a headboat since it says "Est. 2014", but I think that would have come up in Google. Somehow this shirt ended up in Florida. Hmm...

I thought one of the NJ guys here might recognize it.

Sid, I just realized you had entered a link. Looks like you nailed it, thanks. Now, what does that article imply as to my taste in shirts though...  ::)
