Ha!

Nice pic of Sir Algernon Farnsworth, although I feel the date on the photo has to be off.

You’re right. Those are from the first season. The Ferrari has black a-pillars that became body-colored in the second or third season, I believe. I also think that shirt was only worn in season one. Algie was also from the first season.

The shirt also made an appearance in Season 2 Episode 1 "Billy Joe Bob". Magnum is wearing the shirt when in the KKC he encounters Billy Joe Bob for the first time.

I have made extensive efforts myself to get this particular shirt down through the years but I believe its no longer in production. The closest shirt to it is the Paradise Found Star Orchid shirt which is available only in black. Jay Hernandez wore this black version in a recent episode.

This is a nice little article. I'm surprised they don't even mention the reboot.

It's interesting how many things come full circle. Even short shorts on guys are coming back in fashion.

There were a few odd looks from the show that wouldn't work today though. (I'm thinking short shorts with shirt tucked in and a belt.)

There were a few appearances of flared jeans in the early years too. Overall though, the Mag fashion is pretty timeless.
