Duke's is pretty awesome. What a perfect location. You can literally jump in the ocean between beers. Does it get any better than that???

No, just the ones that I can find that are available for purchase. Magnum, of course, wore many other different kinds.

So in your opinion should I get Medium and make sure its ALWAYS washed in cool or get the LARGE..Wash it in warm water and let it shrink and go from there?

I notice on alot of the sites that sell paradise found shirts their sizing charts don't match each others . One site says MED is 42 chest while the other says 46 , large and small don't match either ( chest or length )

The PF shirts I do own are used so i guess they could be shrunk down abit .
Makes it tricky when shopping online .

BT, I bought my Star Orchid shirt (and Birds of Paradise) last year when we were in Hawaii at Bailey's Antiques and Aloha Shirts. They had all the different sizes including XL. I'm sure if you email/call them they can mail one out to you:

Thanks Steve,

I'll email them and see, what happens.

This shop seems to be the grail for all Hawaii Shirts lovers and I hope, that I'll be there one day in person. Must find this hot dog shirt, too ;)

Aloha from paradise Bond...years ago I discovered that when I bought a shirt I liked and wore out, I could never find another just like it. So when I started buying the Magnum shirts from "Paradise Found", I usually bought 2-3 of them depending on which one it was. I love the black jungle bird shirt and wear it numerous times throughout the year, but only have the red one just to have I guess because I don't wear that one at all. So I have 2 Paradise Found "Navy Blue Orchid" shirts that are essentially brand new, however, I am a big fellow and they are 2XL.

However, when ever I'm out I will look for one of those paradise found shirts for you in XL and keep you informed.
