Thanks for the tip bl@ster, just found one on the Bay and my copy is on the way. I can only dream of fitting into a vintage aloha shirt though.

Love that book and am so impressed with the Kamehameha shirts. The vintage and vintage-inspired aloha print designers really know how to make it interesting without making it "tourist".

Koi shirt is excellent. A favorite of mine as well.
The Spooner is a good one too.

Can someone please comment on the sizing of the Kamehameha shirts ? Do they fit true to size?

Thanks

They run big. I am a true size large and I wear a Medium from them.

The Koi is a classic and I have a fish fetish in aloha shirts anyway.

Nice ones. Something about the print on the Diamond Head one reminds me of an old paint-by-number painting. I like it

The simpleness of the Diamond Head and it's earthy tones are very appealing. I like it too.
