You know where I got that Primo shirt? At the coolest place for shirts in Honululu:
At SEARS (in the Ala Moana mall).

ALSO they still had those great "Iolani Executive" baby blue and white (or caramel) lounge shirts with the lace inserts (100% Polyester!), and the three quarter sleeve shirts from "BeauTiki", exact replicas of the originals.

Yeah, Big Bro, you are so right! I have a cool old avacado, turquoise & white barkcloth shirt that has a "Sears Styled in Hawaii" on the label. I used to be embarrassed that my dad worked for Sears in the tower in Chicago, but not anymore... besides he was a buyer for all those swanky 60's style lamps that we covet now. I am having a hard time convincing my dad that the pole lamp in not "the ultimate in bad taste!"

I picked up one of those powder blue Iolani Beau Tiki "wedding" shirts the other day at the D.A.V. for $5.00. It is in excellent shape, so I wonder if it is newer, instead of vintage.

Suicide Sam had on one of the Iolani caramel Executive Lounge shirts at the International Tiki Day Party at Bax's. Very Hip. You were missed.

I spoke with Don Ho after the show on Sunday in S.J.C. He said it was a real good time and it was good to see all the young people out there enjoying the Hawaiian/Polynesian style music. (That was before he slipped me the tounge...NOT!)
