Many of the post-WW2 photos show Don wearing aloha shirts, pandanus hat, and more island-oriented clothes (e.g. page 138).

Quite easy to explain really. Donn, encouraged by Matson Navigation, moved to Hawaii after the War in 1946 to set up shop and adopted the island style. His second (Carla) and third partners (Phoebe) lived here. Phoebe and her current husband, Arnold still do.
