You know that Aloha shirt; dark green background, white pikakes (at least I think they are Pikakes). Does anyone know where I can get that shirt?

Only thing I know is type in Hawaiian shirt on ebay..type in green and your size and then just check back with NEWLY LISTED every few days and hope for the best. I've been wanting the purple paradise found shirt that is on the cover of season 3 box, but have yet to track one down. Good luck on your search. I've also been looking for Magnum's olive drab rain jacket that is seen from earlier episodes like "Of sound min" to "Unfinished business" when he's talking about the pow exchnage and Magnum replys "Buck Greene doesn't have any friends".

If you're talking about this one:

It's the star-orchid shirt and can be found here:

but it's only offered in burgandy, navy blue, and black.

I don't think he wore that color very often. I have a handful of Aloha shirts but none he wore on the show. I'll get the Jungle Bird eventually. Yes, I know I am very slack for not having it yet.

It looks like a Paradise Found Star Orchid. The color comes in dark navy or black background and I think is available new or on eBay. The older or "vintage" aloha shirts all seem to run a size smaller than what you get today. A medium today would be a large or even extra large on a vintage Paradise Found! Good luck.

I've actually been trying to do research on the Printed Hawaiian shirts Magnum has worn. (at least in the first 2 seasons)
and I hate to say this but the Star orchid and the Calla Lilly Shirts advertised as Magnum shirts made by Paradise Found are in fact NOT what magnum wore. Are they real close. Yes! But not correct. As for the Star Orchid there isnt enough orchids on the shirt. There is about 50% less! The Lilly shirt is off on the clusters amount and leaf placement. Im afriad to look to hard at my parrot shirts now.

Too bad that Paradise Found does not do the navy blue Star Orchid since at least 2 years anymore.

Some shops have old stock, but none of them has my size (XL) in blue
