update on Hilo Hattie and shirts with themes!

So, we see that Hilo Hattie has been sold to Donald Kang for $3 million. Mr. Kang is planning a museum for Hawaiian shirts. We spoke to the staff back in 2006 about a history of HH. No one had that! For the collector and vintage lovers of Aloha, history and labels are important. GO Mr. Kang!

then we found someone did a sales breakdown by theme for Hawaiian shirts and found (at one store) the top 5 selling themes are: #5 - automotive theme, #4 - geometric patterns (tapa), #3 - novelty prints (drinks, festivals, holidays, etc), #2 - floral prints and coming in at #1 - follage prints.

You can find all and any of these popular themes at www.justrags.com and we even have animal and music theme prints that are retro, vintage and collectables. Take a look!

Aloha for today.
