Why Aloha Shirts?
Many people assume that my passion (or obsession) for wearing Aloha shirts on Friday stems from that popular geek cult film Office Space. “If you want to go ahead and wear a Hawian shirt and jeans”. But that isn’t the case. For me its about a memory. In February of 2000 we took a vacation (or holiday depending on where you are reading from) in Lanikai, Oahu, Hawaii. One of the most relaxing and beautiful places I’ve ever been to. White sand beaches, lovely little shops in nearby Kailua, snorkeling, sea kayaks…priceless. As an aside, Lanikai is where Ann Margaret drops off Elvis in the film Blue Hawaii.
Anyway, after two glorious weeks we returned to the snow and the cold. The following Friday I wore my new, straight from Hawaii (with wooden buttons), Aloha shirt. It was my way of reminding myself that only a week before I was relaxing on a white sand beach with a good book and a cold beer. And thus began an obsession. Every Friday is Aloha shirt Friday. Every Friday is a reminder that I work to live, not live to work.

Love the way you’ve made the shirts into a team motif Paul. And of course, you look *great* in them!

passion/ obsession? More like Fetish if you ask me. And in no way does that excuse your colour and pattern selections. I suppose it diverts peoples eyes away from your ugly mug.
