"Hawaii Unbuttoned: A Practical Guide to Buying and Selling True-Vintage Hawaiian Shirts"

By, Craig Callaway 1st ED. 2009

That is collect Aloha shirts and I've been collecting for many decades. Like him,I buy most of mine from

thrift stores. I used to pay $.50-$1.00 but now that they have become more popular,the prices have

increased considerably. X

I buy up to $4.99(they are all $1.99 to $4.99 here) when the condition and label warrents it.

At Sal/Army Wed. is 50% OFF day and Thurs.is Senior day 9am to 1pm 50% OFF.

Then Goodwill has the Club Card for $4.50 a year that is hit or miss depends on the deal sheet what color tags are on sale.

I ALWAYS hide mine with other shirts on top and kneel down to check the condition/label/and coconut buttons,away from all the other pickers who see me all the time and only pay AFTER THEY LEAVE THE STORE. I don't need the competition on aloha shirts.....it's bad enough on the artwork and collectibles already!!!!!!!!!
