I hear ya'... It's hard to find a nice Aloha shirt nowadays. Most of the thrifts are picked over and the vintage stores leave something to be desired. Not to mention if you're a bigger guy (like myself) it's a bitch to find anything that fits.
Anyway, these guys, Kamehameha Garment Company make a beautiful line of shirts. They are all rayon and have an open collar so they hang very nicely on you and they use coconut buttons. Many of their shirts are reproductions using vintage patterns and they look great. Most importantly, they are made in Hawaii.

Avanti also makes nice looking shirts but they are made of silk so they have a bit of a different look. Their shirts are also vintage reproductions. Not made in Hawaii...
