Five
days after crossing the Pacific Ocean on board the S.S. Lurline,
the great ship berths at pier 9, Aloha Tower. You've arrived at
your port of destination, Honolulu, the Territory of Hawaii. The
shimmering crystal clear waters, the deep blue skies, the cool tradewind
breeze, the sweet fragrance of the floral lei, the mesmerizing motion
of the hula dancers that greet you and the romantic ukulele and
guitar Hawaiian music is pleasantly stimulating your senses. You
see the colorful and bright attire the locals and malahini wear
and you wish to become one with the islands, to share the Aloha.
"An Original Kalakaua" Hawaiian wear, established in 1937
is made to give the that experience of the Boat Days of old Hawaii.
Please enjoy this garment as yo enjoy the beauty of Hawaii. After
you have bid us Aloha O'e and have sailed away, your "Kalakaua"
garment will preserve your memories of this Island Paradise...Hawaii.
Mahalo
and Aloha!
Original
Kalakaua, Made in Hawaii™

The
Aloha Shirt was created in the memory of King David Kalakaua, the
last King of Hawaii.
Born
in 1836, he was elected King in 1874 and reigned over the Kingdom
of Hawaii until his death in 1891. This renaissance King sailed
the world in 1881, thus becoming the first Monarch to do so, meeting
the Emperors, Premiers and Presidents of the World. King Kalakaua
directed the construction of the Iolani Palace, the only royal palace
existing in the United States.
Philosopher,
writer and musician, King Kalakaua wrote the words to "Hawai'i
Pono'i", now the Hawaii State anthem. He was responsible for
changing some of the influences of the Missionary presence in Hawaii
and returned aloha, music and the hula to the Hawaiian Nation, thus
he was nicknamed, "The Merrie Monarch".
His
life is celebrated annually at the hula festival of the same name
on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Mahalo
for sharing the Aloha of Hawaii!
"Uamau kea ea o ka'aina ika pono"
"The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness"
Me ke
aloha,
