I haven't seen a post, or anything in 'Magnum Gear', about the thongs, Magnum wore! I believe they ate,'Scott Hawaii', brand thongs! The company is in Hawaii, and you can order them on-line! Just Google, Scott Hawaii, and I think you will be happy! Check-out the;'Hokulea', or the 'Kamuela', both come with blue straps! The 'Milo' looks good also, only has black straps! Aloha

I'm sure this post got a lot of clicks by the female members! :wink:

I always thought "thongs" (for flip-flops) was an Australianism.

Have you checked that these were the same in all or most episodes?

Yes; If you check it out, He always seems to be wearing the black thongs, with the blue cloth strap! I bought a pair of these in the 80's at Nordstroms! They aren't sold in Oregon anymore, but I have bought them on-line! Styles have changed, but they still look like the ones on the show! Aloha

I'm in my 50's, and we've called them thongs, as long as I can remember!

In the episode, 'Professor Jonathan Higgins', Magnum is wearing the thongs when he goes out to get the mail, and finds out he won a prize in the pizza contest!

Come on man, Magnum doesn't own a thong collection and he's never worn one! ;)

But seriously, good question. I don't know!

Maybe I should have said, 'go aheads', that's what my Dad called them!

When I wrote this post, it never occured to me, that all you guys would think about is Magnum in a thong! Why is that? Thongs are what you put on your feet! Do you guys always dream about Magnum in his underwear?

Only sometimes...not that there's anything wrong with that :wink:

More than you ever wanted to know about "flip-flops, zoris, Hawaii chappal, thongs, Japanese sandals, or jandals" is, of course on Wikipedia.

Finding good flipflops is difficult. Might try ordering a pair of these.

I am positive these are the thongs Magnum wore on the show! I am even in touch with 'Scott Hawaii', and they are checking to make sure! I still have 2 pair I bought several years ago. You won't be sorry! Just check out the episode I mentioned earlier, you'll see! Aloha
