Labor Day Clothing Recommendation

Labor Day 2014 is Monday, September 1st and while its the largest BBQ holiday on the planet, its also a good time to bust out your favorite Hawaiian shirt.

I don't want to get into writing about whether or not to wear white after Labor Day, because white is in a lot of the designs people wear year round.

So I think I will just skip all of that and jump right into what I am wearing for Labor Day. And without further ado I am going to wear a Tapa Hawaiian shirt with khaki shorts and my trademark flip flops.

I chose this color combination for a few reasons, the first one being that I simply love brown!

The second reason is that the pattern in this particular shirt exemplifies the spirit of Polynesia and Tonga.

This shirts design contains an authentic tapa design with traditional Tongan geometric patterns, Tongan warriors, canoe paddles, and of course sea turtles, you have to have sea turtles! If you don't know by now I own Wave Shoppe Hawaiian Shirts in San Diego, and we have one of the largest inventories of Hawaiian shirts in the county.

Now if brown is not your thing, we offer a lot of other cool looking mens Hawaiian shirts online and if you are one that needs to try on your clothes before purchasing, you can hop into your car and head to our showroom, where you can purchase the very same shirts we offer online. We also offer some items in our downtown clothing store that you wont find on the online store such as hula dashboard dolls, leis, tiki mugs and more.

How many different ways can you write about a Hawaiian shirt?

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!
