Product Description
Beautiful and wild print shirts evolved from the special culture of Hawaii, a paradise of mild climate, clean water, and abundant flowers. With their beautiful Island landscapes, colorful tropical flowers, Asian images, surfer boys, and hula girls, Aloha shirts are great fun to wear and own. In this expansive book, over 425 different shirts are displayed in clear color photographs along with an historical text, women's clothing, 20 different button styles, and for the first time 229 researched manufacturer's and retail labels which help to date and identify the shirts. Graphic designers will revel in the diversity of "Hawaiian" designs and the remarkably beautiful colors of the prints.

Fun and beautiful! June 16, 2000

i am hardly an expert in Hawaiiana, but this book seems exhaustive in its documentation of the Hawaiian shirt. It's hard to believe that so much "ordinary correspondance" still exists from 70 years ago. In addition, the book is just gorgeous. Hundreds of pictures of the most interesting shirts.
 Lots of pretty pictures December 14, 1999

The history presented in this book is better than what you find in the Steele book, but again the dates presented in relation to the development of Hawaiian fashion are often way off. Collectors and others need a historically accurate book. Lets hope some historian out there is listening...
 Complete, beautifully photographed and written. July 29, 1998

In addition to its beauty, Schiffer's book is complete and historically accurate. This is a book you will read over and over again.
