Hawaiian Shirts - Aloha Shirts

[PabloElFlamenco]

I believe this to be my first post regarding Hawaiian shirts.

I just bought one, yet to arrive from Bangkok. It's a Reyn Spooner and I think I'll love this shirt.



What do the board think?

And this shirt, bought new from "Karnakula" (Indonesian made Viscose material), is my birthday present from my kids. Great before I go to France and Spain on holiday. I've always appreciated discretion...

Pablo, guitars. I'm all in.

And the Karnakula shirt, vivid colors. Great.

Thanks Alabam. Love cowboy boots, but don't wear them: loooong toes and diabetes. Sometimes you gotta let go...
Greetings,
Paul

Two very nice shirts.

Excellent shirts Pablo! The vibrant colors of the Karnakula are great, and that guitar shirt is way cool. Great graphics.

 

[BobHufford]

I love them both!

The spirit in which they are worn is more important that what we think Pablo, as long as you enjoy wearing them is all that matters. I think they are both nice prints, you'll stand out from the crowds.

Thank you all!
Indeed, vibrant colours, electric guitars...anything but the usual black and grey many older people -for some reason their own, which I respect- tend to wear. BTW, these shirts go well with my toquilla hats, the common link must be ...summer. We've been having a good one, this year!

Two of my favorite things, Hawaiian shirts and mid-century modern, rolled into one!

Nice one. Most unusual background color. I see some inspiration for your artwork in that shirt. Or you inspired the shirt maker.

It's Atomic! Very kool and pushes my buttons too. What is the brand/material Dale?

 

[dh66]

Thanks guys.
Bama, definitely a lot of what inspires me going on with this one.

Mike, it's silk, real thin stuff like the Avanti shirts. It's made by a brand called Coupe De Lux. I googled 'em and came up with nothing. (This was an ebay find)

Gotta love how the label clarifies "designed in USA". The shirt itself, of course, was manufactured in China. I guess since that's where the silkworms grow, it's no big surprise.

You were destined to own that DH! Congrats!

 

[dh66]

Thanks, Bob. I sure dig it.

Not sure how much longer these are going to show up at the thrift stores this season. My wife found this one in a small town thrift that was having a 10-cent shirt sale. Not made in Hawaii, but for 10-cents who's complaining?

Reservoir: 100% Polyester.

Bob, pineapples and orchids, what's not to like?

 

[mikespens]

It's got nice colors and print Bob, plus you don't have to worry about wearing it to a barbecue

 

[dh66]

Nice one Bob! +1 to what Mike said, too. Gotta love bbq friendly.
