Some people may find them silly, others think it's tacky, but few things represent Hawaiian culture better than the Hawaiian Aloha shirt.

The multiple inspirations for Hawaiian Aloha shirts arrived with the waves of immigrants who came to Hawaii in the early 20th century. In addition to bringing their cultures to Hawaii, these new citizens also brought their clothing. Japanese immigrants carried bright fabrics used for Kimonos to the Hawaiian Islands, while Filipino men wore Barong shirts. Mainland Americans sailed west in collared shirts, Chinese settlers favored silk.

Some of the inspirations could also be found on the islands. In the 1920's and ’30s, when Honolulu's Ellery Chun invented the shirts in 1931, Hawaiian plantation workers were already wearing brightly colored Palaka shirts. Japanese men living in Hawaii made beautifully printed shirts for themselves from Kabe crepe material. All of these combined influences helped Chun create the Aloha shirt.
