Not your typical Hawai'ian Aloha Shirt :)

I bet they could sell a lot of those shirts to members of the forum !

I've looked out the booklet by Te Rangi Hiroa on 'Arts and Crafts of Hawa'i vol X war and Weapons', and he illustrates a rough-headed club from the Bishop Museum very similar to the one on the shirt. In fact, looking at his various illustrations I did wonder if the ones on the shirt were copied from the booklet [or, both shirt AND booklet were copied from the same artefacts].
