I first visited Hawaii in the 80s. I was surprised to find out from a local friend that a Hawaiian print shirt should be made with the wrong side of the fabric facing out which made for a much more subtle coloring than the "hawaiian" shirts we got on the mainland.
Another surprise for us was that dressier restaurants required either a blazer for men or a Hawaiian shirt. They were equivalent.
