So your probably looking at the shirt in this post and saying "what the hell is that?" well truth be told its one of our most popular shirts. When you manufacture Hawaiian shirts, you lay down layers of the same material, set the patterns and then take a special fabric saw to them.
But as you can guess these ugly Hawaiian shirts are not made that way (people win ugly Hawaiian shirt contests with these). We simply grab the closest rolls and lay them out without ever giving consideration to them being the same. Then they are bundled up and sent to sewing, and they are assembled without any regard for the prints looking good once sewn together. Irma our seamstress hates the whole idea because she is a perfectionist. Alas I remind her that she gets the same pay and doesn't have to match pockets, her most dreaded task. Irma has been with us for almost 16 years now and is one of the best employees you could ever have.
I am looking at this long list of tasks to complete before the year ends and wondering if I will even get half of it done. I also need to do some purchasing for next year, as well as finish up some new garments that we are adding to our line. One in particular is a retro print with hula girls etc. Its navy blue and really slick looking. Hopefully its the next shirt I write about. Aloha
