I am looking for material to make mens aloha type shirts. I believe they are reviving some of the old original fabric patterns used in shirts made years ago. Any ideas on sources would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks-C Wilk

*I don't know where you live, but I just heard that a Hawaiian fabric store is opening soon near San Francisco (in South SF, I think). If you are nearby, let me know and I will find out more details.
*Diane-thanks for the reply. I live in Oregon. I will probably travel to the Bay Area at least a couple times a year. Please let me know the name of the store soon to open.Corinne wilk
