It looks like the guy on the far right with the long-necked Sukarta Bass Ukulele* has a notched collar and that they have a have a pocket on the left chest under the white stripe. Looks like Martin Denny could be wearing the same shirt in white - same collar, same slits at sleeves and hips. His is a bit easier to see the details


Good internet sleuthing Mike. Much better pics. It's easier to see that the shirts are not happi. Not sure if they are anything specific, perhaps just some 1960s baggy shirt that's a loose interpretation of Asian fashion. It's sure not a Nehru jacket or a dashiki.

*OK, I have no idea what that instrument is :lol:

I think it's a Japanese three stringed instrument called a sanshin.
