With summer well underway, Hawaiian shirts come out to take over. While sometimes we love the colors of these summer staples, have we ever wondered what the story behind their creation is?

This colorful book illustrates hundreds of images and recounts the stories behind these kaleidoscopic shirts. What makes them cultural icons and their powerful way in exuding the atmosphere of islands are some of the subjects featured in this work.

As fun as it can be, The Aloha Shirt book witnesses the revival of these shirts and stunningly embodies the world’s love for Hawaii.
