I will help you.

I did not own a Hawaiian shirt. Mick Jagger is a favourite entertainer. He is wearing Hawaiian shirt on a sailboat. For years I search for similar shirt. There is a famous American book written by Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea.

A few hours after posting, I went to Hawaiian delicatessen. And purchased my first Hawaiian shirt. It is not what we think of as "traditional" Hawaiian shirt with the cocoanut buttons. It is tokidoki scrubs. Made in Hawaii. Tokidoki is by Italian artist Simone Legno. Scrubs is Americanese for clothing worn in hospital operating theatre. To be worn as casual; about same as t-shirt.

So. Very funny coincidence of posting Mick Jagger wearing Hawaiian shirt and then purchasing my first Hawaiian shirt.

Perhaps it is my English—as—second—language. So sorry.
