Christiki:

Baileys has the biggest and best selection of Aloha shirts especially when it comes to vintage! But they can be a bit pricey. Believe me you will see one or two shirts that you think you have to have until you look at the price tag. But the trip there is worth it, its like visiting an Aloha shirt museum except you don't have to pay admission and everything is for sale. They also have vintage Hawaiiana items for sale which you won't see in the heart of Waikiki or the IMP's made in China Tchotchkes (love the IMP but the stuff sold there is mostly crap). It's really not that far off the beaten path either, you have to go up Kapahulu anyways to go get your malasadas at Leonards (933 Kapahulu Ave) and get your local grinds at Ono Hawaiian Foods (Best authentic local Hawaiian food restaurant - 726 Kapahulu Ave) There are alot of places in Waikiki that will sell you the Magnum P.I. Aloha shirts and Tommy Bahama knock offs or you can go to Aloha Stadium to the flea market and buy the mass produced look at me I'm a sun burned tourist ones but if you make the trip to Baileys you might find that rare unique shirt that someone might say "Hooooo brah, solid shirt!"
