    This is the logo on an Alfred Shaheen of Hawaii dress label. Is there an ancient Hawaiian god with six arms, or is this supposed to be the Hindu god/goddess Kali?

    It's something Hindu anyway. Irish name, Hawaiian shirt, Indian goddess...that ought to be some shirt!

    Hi,
    I loved Hawaiian shirts. I wore them all through the 60s and 70s. I started wearing them again in the 90s. I bought my last one in 2009. The ones now are polyester and the designs are lousy. I really miss my old shirts, worn out and too small now.:sour::sour::sour::(:(:(:(:eek:.

    If you buy Tommy Bahama ($$$) they come in silk too. A friend loves Hawaiian shirts, but I found out he doesn't do the synthetics either. I just gave away an old Hawaiian shirt, but it was pretty darned small. One size bigger and I'd be wearing it myself.(LOL)

    Hi,
    I have only a few silk ones most of mine have been Rayon. I have such an allergic reaction to any polyesters. I used to love my hospital scrubs but when they started out with polyblends, no more scrubs. The same with regular shirts I can do cotton but when they started adding polyester, it was like wearing a plastic garbage bag. I hate hate hate hate polyester. I used to say polyester was the fur from the Spam animal. I must say, I love Spam sandwiches, especially grilled and on whole wheat with mayo. Did I say I am a food junkie???

    I react to animal fibers, and sometimes to polyester. It should be worn with naugahyde pants; a lot of naugas gave their hides so we could have cheesy, tacky recliners and really ugly clothing.
