That's not really the case in terms of the variations though Moose..I know about the Gant story, but the collars are so varied over time, the label chronology also confuses me a bit as to when and where they got made.

(re #34) Yep, that does look great. I'm not sure I could make it work, frankly, but I like the look on Patrick. I wore one similar quite often in my college summer daze, but now, as an old man, I might just look too much like, well, an old man.

Yes, I have plenty Reyns made in Hawaii.

Most of my shirts are a few years old, but certainly long after Reyn Spooner started up.


But here you go (from reynspooner.com):

While a significant portion of our apparel is now sewn in Asia, Reyn Spooner still maintains production in Hawaii. Products such as our Lahaina Sailor Collection, kids apparel, eco-products such as Aloha Squares, napkins and eco bags as well as much of our accessories are still hand sewn in Hawaii. We’ve also started an in-sourcing strategy beginning with our Made in California Indigo Collection 2016. Moving forward, we are committed to actively look for ways to increase our Made in Hawaii and Made in the USA programs.

It's a Kahala. I've never loved the look of those collars (which are not bd) with prints, but they make solid versions that I really like:

Pricey for me, though, especially sine I live in New England and can only wear aloha shirts or similar in the summer. I have some great Hawaiians but I won't pay more than $40...
