Summer Cool ... Going Vintage Hawaiian!
Article about the evolution of the Hawaiian Aloha shirt. "The reputation of the Aloha shirt has come a long way over the years. What was once a colorful (if not gaudy) tourist memento has evolved into a prized art form combining fashion, style and nostalgia." The site notes that Aloha shirts gained in popularity when Harry Truman was shown wearing one on the cover of a 1951 Life magazine. From a fashion blog.
