Aloha from Wave Shoppe Hawaiian Shirts. Hana’s does indeed have a decent collection of vintage shirts and they are decent to work with. But I also want to add that it doesn’t stop there. You need to understand what makes a Hawaiian shirt collectable, in our earlier days we manufactured shirts under our original label, which was used for approximately 6 months. Some of the prints were special order; one time runs with quantities as low as 25 shirts. We kept about 5 of them for prosperity but like everything else produced in small quantities, they have the potential to eventually become collectable.

In regards to the original Wave Shoppe shirts, there is a lot more to the story but we will let that unfold overtime. To this day if we find a rare and unique Hawaiian print fabric it will be transformed into a shirt, no matter how small or large the quantity may end up.

We have some rare pints in stock now at http://www.waveshoppe.com the fun part is identifying them. Hint: look for Hawaiian shirts with intricate details.
