Thanks for checking us out!

I was just at your store while visiting Kailua-Kona. Great shirts for some small businesses who wouldn't otherwise have shirts made.

For those of you in search of a larger size, we just started carrying this in a 3XL t-shirt, along with lots of other cool XXXL styles.

goddamnit!! i got my shirt by actually going to the luau in seattle and purchasing one there....now i can sit on my fat ass and order another one without leaving the house...good....cause mine is just about worn out and time for a replacement.

If you love original T-shirts from real places without the road trips this joint has them in spades! Sheck it out!

This tiki face design was one created for use by an ad agency and used in the Levi's silvertab jeans print ads almost a decade ago. Also available as giveaway postcards, everyone picked up a few back then.
It is a distinctive tiki design appropriated by others through the following years.
Old timers to da tiki dakine will remmeber the popstcard.
It had a cool ceramic terracotta tiki god with that face and hollowed out eyes on left half of the postcard. Right side, was the POV of the tiki; silhouette of his eyeholes thru which you are looking at a few 20 somethings cavorting in a loft all wearing Levi's silvertab jeans.

these shirts resemble the now modern and unlocal Crazy Shirts available for the tourons in Waikiki.
crazy shirts was a very kama'aina business way back then. I knew Rick Ralston who created the company and watched him create many t shirts in the Int. market place decades ago.
Now, the company ( a shadow of its former self ) sells mainland designs, created by haoles on the mainland, sold to tourists. Not many locals wanna wear da stuff. solly cholly.
