For a very good new aloha shirt, try the Cooke Street shirts sold at Costco. These are 100% cotton, and they take the trouble of aligning the pattern on the breast pocket to match the rest of the shirt. I call it the "invisible pocket". Availability varies quite a bit from store to store. We usually shop at the Redwood City (CA) Costco, and last year I didn't see any Cooke Street shirts, only some off brand made of rayon with misaligned pockets. This year they had the Cooke Street shirts again, but I think the RWC buyer is a bit insane. It seems like they purchase the same number of every size, so if you don't get there early in the season, they only have a few if any medium or large sizes, but plenty of XS and XXL. We tried Mountain View, but they didn't have the Cooke Street shirts at all! On July 3rd we went to SF for the morning, and on the way back I said "let's stop at the South San Francisco store". I was in heaven! They had plenty of every size and every pattern. So I bought about 24 shirts, two of each pattern. That should hold me over for a while! If you love aloha shirts as much as I do, try these.
