Today I was sitting in my comfy chair enjoying all the sun and warm weather (its 84 degrees today) and contemplating writing a Blog post about Hawaiian shirts and then it dawned on me, how many different ways can you write about a Hawaiian shirt?
I did some Web searches hoping to see what some Island authors have written lately but it appears that most of the writings are just a bunch of gibberish. So I turned my thoughts inward and started looking at the shirt I am currently wearing.
My Hawaiian shirt is an oldie but goodie, I believe its one of the very early shirts produced by Wave Shoppe in Southern California. If I were to describe it I would say that it is light grey in color with splashes of medium grey in the background, burgundy/rust colored foliage, turtles and outrigger canoes.
Now we have the condition of the Hawaiian shirt, in which I should mention is made out of polycotton. I think for a shirt that has been washed at least once a week for the last 6 years that it is in wonderful shape. Sure it has a few lightly frayed edges, especially near the lower hem, its still a cool and comfortable shirt to wear. This garment even has the original coconut buttons!
So there you have it, a post about Hawaiian shirts that’s actually honest as well as original. Penned while
sitting in paradise!
