Looking to replace lost aloha shirt

Pages: 1 5 replies

On a recent trip a luggage accident cost me the first aloha shirt I bought (along with a brand new aloha shirt I can replace, and some t-shirts). Its an RJC shirt with seaplanes, often referred to as 'Over Paradise'. I contacted RJC and they no longer make it, and I haven't been able to find it online anywhere. So I figured its a bit of a long-shot but I'd ask here to see if anyone has a 2XL they'd be willing to sell me.

Not quite the same but close and it's an RJC. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/273203501248?

Sent Jason a PM, but just in case this gets seen first...

Got another lead - looks like "Early Flight" was another name for this pattern: https://www.mauishirts.com/early-flight-mens-cotton-blend-aloha-shirt.html?

Lotta sites have it but only in a Small; even Amazon only has that size so they must be using a same source? Not sure. Comes in a couple of colors, though, which is interesting.

Good luck on your quest!

Thanks for the link Rupe! I'll keep looking but I'm glad to know that there is some out there, if not in my size.

If you locate a source for the fabric my wife makes them.

Most times I would say in time you will find one.

BUT big guys, especially tiki guys well their shirts are not able to resell a day after they first get them as they spill on them right out the gate.

Never find larger sizes, not the cool ones.

My wife has cloths she has had for 40 years that look brand new.

Heck, she gardens in cloths that still look great.
