A number of our friends, relatives and family sailed from China to settle in Hawaii around the 1800's through 1980's. Many were and are talented seamstresses and craftsman who earn their living making apparel and later became a strong contribution to the creation and manufacture of Hawaiian shirts and Hawaiian clothing in Hawaii. A quick look at history of Hawaiian shirts

Many Classic Hawaiian Shirts for men were originally made from soft colorful silk fabric taken from Japanese Kimono garments brought to Hawaii from labors hired to work the sugar and pineapple plantations in the 1920's. The silk fabric of the kimono was a real eye catcher rich in color with scenic floral designs. The silk fabric was soft light cool and comfortable, a good material for Hawaiian shirts, however the cost of quality silk was expensive. With the creation of rayon all the good qualities of silk had a affordable fabric and soon Hawaiian shirts would be made with this fabric. Rayon intensifies the lustrous sheen and color with good comfort and fluid drape of silk that make rayon fabric one of the most popular materials for Hawaiian shirts today. Today rayon Hawaiian shirts are made of quality soft fine smooth soft heavy or lightweight 100% rayon. In the 1800's outside traders from America and Europe introduced cotton cloth to Hawaii that was colored and printed with a few simple designs. As the years went by Hawaii began to develop and soon had sugar cane and pineapple plantations as outside developers took control of the land. The workers from the sugar cane and pineapple plantations as well as cattle ranchers or paniolos, (Hawaiian Cowboys) wore cotton palaka shirts which are criss-cross checkered looking print patterns with straight cut bottoms so they did not have to tuck in their shirts while working under the hot Hawaiian sun. They also cut off the long sleeves to help stay cool. And an increasing variety of colors and variations of these shirt prints began to grow and were the beginnings of pre Hawaiian shirts. Around the time the tourism industry was just starting in the 1920's and 30's a Chinese immigrant tailor named Ellery Chun put together a flower print shirt on a brightly colored background and became the originator of Hawaiian shirts what we call in Hawaii, Aloha Shirts. The Hawaiian shirts, Aloha print, Hawaiian clothing industry was born. By the early 1940's this new fashion of the islands was established as the Aloha wear industry. This industry began to grow with steady demand over the years. Today Hawaiian shirts is made of many materials with cotton as the most popular followed by silk, rayon, polyester and other synthetics. The Hawaiian shirts design today typically reflect the scenes you find around Hawaii with Tropical Flowers the most popular. This is a reason almost all Hawaiian shirts fabrics from hawaiianclothing.com are tropical flower designs. The popularity of Hawaiian shirts has grown to the point where other countries are making them in large numbers.
