Magnum Mania!

We all know Paradise Found makes the original Magnum shirts we have in our closets, but are there any leads on the new Magnum's new red/white/black palm tree shirt?

I wonder if they come in adult sizes?

That wins my internet surfing for today!

So helpful!

Why do you guys even have a reboot section of the website if you hate it so much?

Been a long-time Magnum fan, long-time reader of the site (actually had thought I'd already signed up years ago) and have enjoyed the knowledge and info here. If there's no reboot fans here, then let me know and I'll ask elsewhere.

Hi LZeitgeist,

We are just having a bit of fun.
I'm sure the answer you are looking for will surface here, but in the meantime you'll have to be patient and have a good sense of humor.
Let us know if you find the answer before we do.

Oh, I understand, my feelings aren't hurt, I'm not upset - I just figured there'd be at least *some* positive response by now instead of just kidding. I'm patient.

Thanks!

There are a few here who like it.

I complemented Perdita Weeks once as being one of the bright spots before I stopped watching the show.

As for the shirt, I thought it was pretty ugly (and not in a good Aloha shirt ugly way).

This was the Magnum shirt I had back in the day:

That's the one I wear most often as well -



My red Jungle Bird shirt seems to have shrunk just a bit as I've added a bit of girth. (This pic was a couple years ago)



Both shirts are the same size, but the black orchid shirt just seems more slimming on me.

Looking forward to adding a few more iconic Hawaiian shirts to my (somewhat) growing collection...

Never admit to adding girth!

I am not a Hawaiian shirt guy, but is it possibly something called "Saint Laurent Palm Tree red shirt"?


Google that, and see if it looks right.


PS: fwiw, I always like the purple jungle bird shirt best.

Holy cow, you did it! That's the one! Thank you!

Yves Saint Laurent... definitely something Higgins would buy... or a TV studio costumer woild choose for a high-profile reveal... unfortunately not something a County Government-employed sign and graphics guy can afford even if it was still available... yikes.

Yep that looks like the one. I wonder if it might not pop up soon enough on mauishirts.com - that's where I bought my classic MPI red jungle bird shirt earlier this year before my trip to O'ahu. I love that shirt! That said, the new MPI reboot shirt is ugly. Black palm trees?? Who's bright (or dark?) idea was that???
