    My one vintage clothing purchase from my trip to Australia:

    Found at Noosa Longboards, the surf shop in Noosa. They had a nice selection of vintage hawaiian shirts. They all looked like men's, but this one is small as men's shirts go and actually not too baggy on me - it works best worn open or I can even tie it at the waist.

    It's by Hukilau Fashions (love that label!), and the material feels like cotton with a bit of a satin finish. Great metal buttons, though the lowest one is unfortunately missing. But that doesn't matter in the way that I'm wearing this. I just loved the bright color and the Polynesian motifs of the print. The size/material label is made of something like pellon and shows a lot of wear and it seems that some of the printing on it has gone.
