Thanks for a quick & easy delivery! Via FedEx, my shirt got all the way to NJ from HI in under 2 days and was in perfect condition. I would definitely recommend your site to a friend, and am actually planning to purchase more gifts from here in the future! Keep up the good work.   Keirsten H. / NJ

Button Holes: An explanation from History

October 25th, 2008

200px-ButtonHole I always wondered why men’s shirt buttonholes are on the left side of the front, and women’s blouse buttonholes are on the right side.

Various theories have been expounded: One is that in the past, ladies were dressed by servants, and buttons were usually on the back of the dress. It was easier for the right-handed person to handle the buttons.

Another is that men’s tunics had the left side on top so that if the man had to pull out his sword, it wouldn’t catch on the shirt.

The traditions have continued to this day, even though the reasons are lost in the past. It is the same for Hawaiian shirts: men’s shirt buttonholes on the left front, ladies on the right.

If we all went topless, we wouldn’t have to worry about it. However, our friend in the Hawaiian shirt business would go broke . . . and Maui Blackie would lose his blog!

My husband had ordered shirts that were too large for him, and I had to deal with returning and exchanging them for the correct size.  Every contact I had with this company was pleasant, and they were all patient with me throughout the whole process.  RS / Briarclilff, NY

Politics as Blackie sees it

October 17th, 2008

Headlines:  "Kissing Up" and "Politicians Puckering Up"

It happens every election.  The politicians kiss our okoles to get our vote.  After the politicians get elected, we the people have to kiss their okoles to get them to do what they promised us.

. . . . . . . . . . .

 

Headlines:  "Speeches Don’t Stick" and "Candidates’ Words Gone Quick"

It’s election time again.  Political candidates make speeches that sound wonderful.  They go on and on.

However, these speeches are like a Chinese dinner.  It’s great at the time but it doesn’t stick with you.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

 

Headlines: "Political Campaign Rhetoric Takes on a Different Meaning" and  "Hungry on Purpose"

Here we are again in an election year.  Candidates will be talking about many problems they would solve if elected.  They will speak of millions of citizens going to bed hungry every night.  I am one of those citizens.  I am on a diet.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

 

Headlines: "Tis the Season for Even More Political Promises: and "Who Tells the Best Lies?"

It’s election time again.  Politicians are making promises that they know are outright lies.  We, the public, know they are lies.  But we vote for the politician who tells us the most appealing lie.

We deserve what we get for being gullible again.

I had an issue and they really went out of their way to resolve it! I live on a Caribbean island, so my "uniform" is shorts and a Hawaiian shirt.  I buy most of my shirts from this company.

I got a craving for Hawaiian shirts this summer and ordered several through another online source.  The last several that I ordered through this other source had big problems so I switched to MauiShirts.com and was really happy with the whole experience.  The shirts were high quality, beautiful and durable.  I thought the price was a bit high but I’m willing to pay a bit more for things made in the USA since we all seem to be learning where our addiction to cheap foreign goods took us.

We really like MauiShirts.com!   Chirs R. / Spring City, UT
