The Hawaiian shirt, or Aloha shirt, is a visible greeter and ambassador and is worn as a statement of a person’s love and connection with a special place. The Hawaiian shirt originated in the 1930’s and has evolved over the decades. Originally, there were fifteen different Hawaiian prints made. These prints were then sent to Japan where they were printed by hand onto silk.

Surfers and beach goers started noticing these Hawaiian shirts and began buying them in increasing numbers. Visitors to Hawaii started bring home Hawaiian shirts as souvenirs and people started falling in love with the bright, easy to wear, casual look of these shirts and an entire new fad began.

At the end of the 1950’s, Hawaii became America’s 50th state and even more attention and tourists were brought to the islands, and more significantly to the Hawaiian shirt.  The Hawaiian shirt began to make appearances in movies and on television and the hype behind the Hawaiian shirt has not seemed to fade. The popularity of these shirts has managed to bleed through the decades and will most likely manage to do so throughout the years to come.
