"In the late 1920's and early 1930's tourists, always looking for exotic souvenirs, fell for a fad of the young islanders, unusual prints. Artists and tailors spotted a serious business. The name 'aloha shirt,' registered in 1936, soon labeled a flourishing industry." Includes photos. From a Hawaiian coffee company that also produces a travel and tourism magazine.
