Re: Aloha shirts
I think Reyn Spooners are usually poly cotton, so they have longevity and are a good bet for vintage buys.

Re: Aloha shirts
There's mutiple grades ReynSpooner shirts from the cheaper poly-cottons right thro to some serious sea-island cottons and even some silk.
A visit to one of their stores is great if you get the chance, so many patterns and designs to choose from it's quite overwhelming.

Re: Aloha shirts
Great photo.
I only have two RS, but (this time of year) half a closetful of vintage Aloha shirts.

Re: Aloha shirts
One of the few places to wear Aloha shirts in London (the original Trader Vic's in the Park Lane Hilton) is under threat of closure https://linktr.ee/savetradervicsldn

Re: Aloha shirts
Tell us more. As a teenager me and my mates used to blag our way into top London hotels. We got into the Hilton Park Lane on one occasion. We would have been wearing Ben Shermans, Harrington jackets and Levi Sta prest. Aloha shirts came later, in our 20s and then visiting Essex night clubs.

Re: Aloha shirts
Its an original Trader Vic's that's been there since 1964 - more or less unchanged (see the google reviews for pics). Its a real curiosity, it being in the basement of a posh hotel in Park Lane, let alone being in London. Apprarently its the first international branch of Trader Vic's; I was surprised when I visited that it had survived this long. Not enough rockabillies in London to keep it going, so seems to mainly serve confused business travellers eating alone.
