Aloha stands for Fun

 

Buying and wearing men's shirts can be down right boring...at least for most men.  In past years I didn't care what I wore. The wife used to buy most of my shirts. Then I got interested in Hawaiian shirts nearly 25 years ago that changed my life forever (Read More). What a difference! I felt like the fun had returned. Each aloha shirt was so different...from bold prints to subtle reverse prints to classy prints. They can be worn almost anytime, anywhere. They are an extension of my personality...and there's a shirt in my wardrobe for my moods depending on how I feel that particular day. No more boring, conservative, lumberjack, factory-worker shirts for me. Time to feel free...and have some fun. Life is short. Take a look at our online store for  Hawaiian aloha shirts. And even more shirts here at our ebay store.

The ABC's of Hawaiian Aloha Shirts 

ABC's of Hawaiian Aloha Shirts
These are my opinions and observations based upon my experience in selling Hawaiian aloha shirts over the past years. Many of the terms are used in my listing descriptions so it's my intention that this guide will benefit the consumer in making better informed buying decisions. Here's an excerpt:

*D*

Diamond Head: Sought-after, highly prized, especially their vintage shirts.

*E*

Egyptian Cotton: Considered to be the best cotton in the world; longest and strongest fibers. Grown in the Nile River Valley.

*F*

Fit: Aloha shirts should be fairly loose fitting and airy; that's why they're worn not-tucked-in especially when the weather is hot.

Flora/fauna: Tropical flowers, especially hibiscus, tropical birds such as the parrot, and palm trees are probably the most popular aloha shirt themes followed closely by pineapples.

*G*

Go Barefoot: High-end brand with original roots in Hawaii now made in Los Angeles, California. Extremely well made with durable fabric. Excellent quality with wonderful patterns.

*H*

Hawaii: State flower - yellow hibiscus; State tree - Kukui; State bird - Nene; State marine animal - humpback whale...these are all often featured in print designs.

Hilo Hattie: Largest retailer and manufacturer of Hawaiian-wear. Also have retail outlets in continental USA. Good quality; nice prints.

Holo Holo: Great prints; usually made of rayon.

*I*

Iolani: Very respected quality. Made in Hawaii since 1953.

For you Parrotheads and Parrot Lovers 

Coloful, humorous, and informative website all about parrots. Many photos. I never knew there were so many species of parrots. The parrot is a very popular motif for aloha shirt prints and was popularized by Tom selleck in the TV series Magnum, P.I. Check it out!

Stung in the Butt Again!

We're on our usual walk the other day, as we trek along the dirt path near some ground cover I spotted a small dark object fly out, and sure enough...land right on Wolfie's butt! Wolfie did the fastest somersault I've ever seen. But to no avail...too late...stung in the butt again. Not that I'm sadistic, but I couldn't help but laugh. I never saw a dog do a somersault like that. The funny thing is, this occured in the exact same location as it did in a previous post when Wolfie got stung.

So, now that Wolfie's been stung twice (that I know of) you'd think he'd stay away from bees? Wrong. Yesterday I caught him growling at a small object on our back patio. When I looked closer I could see that it was a bumblebee on its last leg. As I watch in amusement at Wolfie growling and pawing at this diminutive creature I'm shocked to see Wolfie lick up the bee into his mouth. I commanded him to "drop it". He did. The bee was moving slower but Wolfie was trying to paw his mouth. He got stung on the tongue! With tweezers, I pulled the stinger off of his tongue...not an easy feat.

Wolfie is an inquisitive little dog, still a puppy in my eyes even though he's 2 1/2 now...a teenager in dog years. He's very gentle. All he really wants to do is play. Case in point: we had some friends over and as we were out on the patio talking, a baby bird fell out of the tree. In a split second, Wolfie scooped the little bird into his mouth. Once again I yelled "drop it". He did. My daughter went to pick up the baby bird and Wolfie beat her to it. He was protecting it gently in his mouth. We finally got the bird back to his nest. I think Wolfie is learning the hard way that most critters want to be left alone. On the Animal Planet channel a week ago I saw a program on the ten most aggressive animals. I guessed #1 would be a lion or elephant. It was the bumblebee.

About Bluelittlewolf

I'm an avid lover of Hawaiian aloha shirts ever since I first got brave
enough to wear two Paradise Found rayon aloha shirts nearly 25 years ago. The Westie pictured on my
lense is Wolfie who
is our new baby. He's brought a lot of aloha spirit into our lives. He
now has a Westie sister named "Bella". I'm
also interested in guitars/composing, music, the Old West,  and
Solstice roadsters.
