I found a couple of 1969 and 1969 ads for clothing and at the bottom, where information was as to where you could buy the clothes, it said: "...and in Hawaii: The 5 McInerny, Ltd stores..."

here's a sad article from 2002 about the company's demise

McInerny had a lot of local contract work that they sold under their own label, too

that looks very late 60s/early 70s to me.

i worked with one of the McInerny boys at a restaurant for a while ~

Early '70s. Brown and orange was a colour combination they just couldn't get enough of.

Mary- That's really cool that you worked with one of the boys at a restaurant!! Thanks guys for the info, glad to know what the label says!! Sometimes they are hard to read and decipher letters!! I was thinking around that time period myself but wanted an opinion from you experts! Thanks for all your help!!
