Product Description
Inspired by classic aloha shirts from the 1930s, ‘40s, and ‘50s, these shirts from Waikiki-based Avanti Designs bring a piece of paradise to your everyday wardrobe. Each one is made of 100-percent crepe-de-chine silk or a heavyweight silk-cotton blend, and appointed with an original print of palm trees, colorful flowers, or island scenes Read More
Incredibly flimsy, compared to Tommy Bahama, I got 2 from the last drop; un-worn.
Poor, poor, poor quality, avoid; unless you favour the see through look.
Are they made in Hawaii? Regardless of the company's location, if it is NOT made in Hawaii, then it cannot be called an Aloha shirt, only a Hawaiian shirt. An Aloha shirt, MUST be made in Hawaii.
In Hawaii, they make Aloha shirts just about any material from cotton, linen, silk, rayon, even that cheap sweaty polyester. I tend to like the rayon and silk ones because they are cool. It really depends on the price and who makes it. I know a lot of tourists go to Hawaii and buy some pretty nice silk Aloha shirts, but they tend to not bring them back to the mainland U.S. so lots of them end up in thrift stores like Goodwill. When I was younger, I used to find some pretty expensive Aloha shirts for $5 or $10 and there were racks and racks of them. I don't know if it is still like that, apparently that sort of tourist shopping info was published in some Japanese travel brochures so it kind of killed off those deals.. LOL!
bsatowI have never heard of this distinction and I have been to Hawaii many times. As far as I know, they are called Aloha shirts in Hawaii and Hawaiian shirts pretty much everywhere else, doesn’t matter where they’re from. But obviously a “true” Aloha or Hawaiian shirt would be made in Hawaii. Anything else should be called a “camp shirt”. But to the average person any brightly colored large tropical print shirt will always be a Hawaiian shirt.
And no, I am not a Millenial. Whatever that has to do with it.
I love these shirts in silk, I bought one in California maybe twelve years ago and it's great for hot days. Just bought the Ulu Fruit print here, can't wait!
