Description

Grab some sunscreen, flip-flops, and get ready to cool down because we are going to Hawaii to explore the origins behind the Aloha Shirt.

Learn about the Hawaiian Craze of the 1910s, the Fashion Father Alfred Shaheen, Elvis Presley's fashion choices, and so much more!

Rob gives Ray a lesson in the history of how the Aloha shirt came to be, the political activism behind the shirt, what elements make your Aloha Shirt worth money, and why this shirt gave birth to Casual Friday.
