The best Hawaiian shirt I ever had was made in Jamaica in the 1960's.

Bought a “cotton” blend shirt at the aloha swap meet for $15.

Quoted: Oahu wasn’t that bad until the late 1990s. Everywhere I’ve enjoyed seems to somehow have an insane amount of people compared to 20 or 30 years ago like Bali and Indonesia is now crowded, even Barbados surf spots are crowded. It’s like the planet all decided to move to the same places on Earth. California I think has finally peaked out at 40 million and now dropping 700,000 since 2020. Florida seems more crowded than I remember back in 2014. I’m not the type to live in the sticks but I also don’t want to live in Manhattan either. Kauai and Maui was my step Dad and Mom’s favorite islands. I really like the big island, it’s a different vibe there. But only as a civilian. Doing Army Training at PTA on those lava rocks is no fun. View Quote We've covered a lot of the same ground, it seems, and I've drawn the same conclusions. I traveled a bit for surf in the mid 80's after being stationed at Schofield for 3 years. All my out of the way places are now Youtube stars. |

To celebrate my shirt order I just started Season 2 of Magnum PI. We have been binge watching.

You should check out this lady: Jacqueline on Kauai
We stumbled upon her shop on our trip. She’s an eccentric shirt artist, to say the least. I’m very happy with the hand made shirt I got from her. Judging by the pictures of the various celebrities she has around the shop, it looks like she’s in demand in those circles. I only bought one shirt and I rarely wear it, but when I do, it (not me) gets compliments. |

View Quote That design reminds me of my days in Oahu K-12 we went on field trips to the Big island. I had so many cool pictures from those trips now gone |

Even remote places in California now have Instagram influencers showing up for selfies in numbers enough that locals complained. |

Just bought this at thrift store. Made in Hawaii so higher quality maybe?

Bought my 1st Tommy Bahama yesterday, lucky to have an outlet a few miles away. Half-price deals and absolutely beautiful colors. Wore it to work and I got lots of positive comments,I'll be back for at least one more.
No cheap ones for Me, the better quality clearly stands out from other shirts. |

I had one once.
Hilo Hattie's. I picked up a hand made one in Bali. Silk Tier one Bali shirt? |

I am going to wait and see how my first one fits and etc and then likely order this one as well.

I have one from Warrior Co in Miami Vice Rhodesian brush stroke. It's fantastic.

View Quote Those were TP9s, not MP7s. They had it on clearance for like $17 and I picked one up. They also dropped the jungle bird red one, which is probably my second favorite after the Rhodesian/AH-6 Little Bird pattern. If you want one with MP7s, that is still in stock Spray and Pray |

So trying it on. I normally wear large. They say go a size down.
They are correct. I am 188 and about 5’10” 34” waist. It fits pretty well, I would definitely not want it more loose. |
|
Ok…one complaint. They are a bit tricky to iron. It says cold iron on the instructions but that is worthless. I set it to the lowest steam setting and did very quick passes to make sure there was no scalding. The way they fold the shirts and see them makes some of it a bit tricky. In the future I may just steam it.
Trying it on today the fit is indeed beautiful and it is very lightweight without being sheer. Very cool. |
