This is most of my Hawaiian shirt collection. After I finished taking these I remembered I have a box of about 20 more waiting to be sold or gifted away, some very cool. I'll have to haul them out soon. If anyone would like more detailed photos, or descriptions of the materials used etc., I can add to the thread. Most of these are barkcloth. All but three were purchased locally from thrift stores. [ Edited by: Tikiwahine 2007-04-27 19:46 ] |

Awesome collection, thanks for posting. I reallylike the blue one with the drinks that you did the detail on. (I can hear Joan Crawford yelling "No wire Hangers".) :D |

Man, I thought I had a pretty good collection going but yours blows it away (and is much more traditionally aloha than some of mine). When I lived in NorCal where I worked had "ugly, shirt day" on Fridays, which was cool cause you could get away with wearing some stuff that you would otherwise get strange looks from. |

Tikivile- I come across shirts almost everytime I am out. I have my eyes open for ones with tiki images for Tiki Kate and ones that are XL for Bongo Bungalow. What size tapa are you looking for? And also do you only collect barkcloth/barkcloth like? Vintage only? If you give me some info I will gladly keep an eye out for ya :) [ Edited by: leleliz 2009-04-09 16:20 ] |

One of the very first shirts my wife made for me was out of this very print. Sadly the shirt doesn't quite fit like it once did, but I still keep this treasure tucked neatly away in my closet. I was able to find a replacement for the other one but I have not had any luck finding this print. My wife is AWESOME! She's made quite a few shirts for me - although she does have quite a pile of fabric waiting to break in that new sewing machine. [ Edited by: KeithH 2009-04-09 18:26 ] |
