1.0 out of 5 stars
Historically, this is terribly inaccurate,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hawaiian Shirt: Its Art and History (Recollectibles) (Hardcover)
Unfortunately, many of the dates presented in this book are wrong, and this book has perpetuated several myths and inaccuracies with regard to the history and evolution of the Aloha shirt. I am a historian who does research on Hawaii, and am curator of the world's largest collection of Hawaiian apparel. It is sad to say that this book and others written by collectors have proven to be a real problem because whatever research Mr. Steele did, was not only incomplete but flawed. As the first book published on the topic of Hawaiian clothing, this book is often cited and the inaccuracies are accepted as correct when they are not.

Great pictures, bad historically,
By L.Skifforstd (Hawaii) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Hawaiian Shirt: Its Art and History (Recollectibles) (Hardcover)
Apparently the author was a collector on the US mainland since he apparently did not do much historical research in Hawaii. The dates are usually off about ten years. Also from his book you'd think all Hawaii produced were rayon shirts when cottons, in Asian prints, have been most common!

Good color pictures, some inaccuracies in the text.,
By PArthur964@aol.com (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Hawaiian Shirt: Its Art and History (Recollectibles) (Hardcover)
While the photos of the classic "silkies"are fine, and most of the text is correct, there are some historical inaccuracies.
