Aloha Wear Photoshoot

Photoshoots look like a lot of fun. And they are! One thing we noticed over
the years is that our photoshoots generally start off pretty slow, especially if
the models don’t know each other very well. The photographer plays a big role in
helping the models relax and have fun. As the shoot progresses and everyone gets
used to [...]

Cutting 340 Layers of Fabric at one Time

Most Hawaiian apparel manufacturers sell more men’s shirts than any other
type of clothing. To keep up with the demand from their retail customers, they
must constantly produce shirts by the hundreds. One manufacturer told me that
when they prepare layers of fabric for shirt production, it can take up to 2
days. The video below shows 340 layers [...]

Sunset on the North Shore Video

Here’s the video of the sunset at Sunset Beach. I was able to look at the sun
more directly and for longer periods as the sun got closer to the horizon. I
hope I didn’t damage my eyeballs by doing so. Seeing the surfers sit on their
board while watching the sun go down (and looking for the [...]

Morning Hike an Makapuu Lighthouse Trail

It had been a while since I last went hiking so I decided to go to the Makapuu Lighthouse Trail. The cool thing about this trail is that since it is located at the southern tip of Oahu, you can see up both coasts of the island. The best place to see this is at [...]

Filming a Sunset

Last night I ventured off to the North Shore again to film a sunset. When the sun was still up, people were playing around on the sand and in the water. As the sun approached the horizon, everyone mellowed out as if under a magic spell and just stared at the sun. Even people driving [...]

Sharing the Aloha Spirit in Fukuoka, Japan

The people of Fukuoka, Japan are really into Hawaii stuff. Maybe it is
because of the cultural ties between that city and Hawaii that began over 100
years ago when boatloads of Japanese immigrants came to Hawaii to work in the
sugar plantations. Whatever the reason, the people really responded with
enthusiasm when a bunch of Hawaii companies and [...]

Hawaiian Dress Parts Ready for Sewing

When a manufacturer cuts layers of fabric for production, the number of layers can vary greatly. If the manufacturer only needs a small production run to meet demand, they may only cut a couple dozen layers at a time. If demand is high, they may cut well over 100 layers at a time. This is [...]

Humback Whales 100 Yards from Shore

Just like humans, humpback whales seem to enjoy coming to Hawaii. Usually it is easiest to spot them from high lookout points along the coast or on a whale watching boat cruise. If you are lucky, you might even see them from the beach, although they’re difficult to spot unless they are close or if [...]

Speed Ironing a Hawaiian Shirt

Receive 20% off your order when you use this coupon, good through
Sunday July 5, 2009.
I am not very efficient at ironing my dress shirts. It must take me at least 2
minutes to do each shirt, and even then, I am left with rogue wrinkles and
creases. That’s probably why I don’t iron my shirts [...]
