It's the most energized town on the island, and you can feel it from the first moment you walk down Front St. The main attractions of Lahaina are within a few blocks of each other. All along Front St., the main drag, and on the side streets are innumerable restaurants, shops and hideaways where you can browse or recoup your energy. Some of the more interesting sites are the Banyan Tree in the main plaza, the Courthouse, the Baldwin Home, and the Carthaginian II. Ka'anapali with its 4 miles of glorious beach, is Maui's westernmost point. It begins where Lahaina ends and continues north along Rte. 30 until it runs into the village of Honokowai. Ka'anapali is Maui's resort coast with 500 acres of fun and relaxation. There are 6 luxury hotels, a handful of beautifully appointed condominium properties, a shopping mall and museum, 36 holes of world-class golf, many tennis courts, and a multitude of restaurants.

Hawaiian shirts based on

Different Styles of Hawaiian Shirts Different Types of Hawaiian Shirts There are different types of Hawaiian shirts based on the style or layout of the design. The most common ones are the basic all-over print and the scenic print. But there are variations within these types well as several other styles. We'll also cover some of the terminology used for Hawaiian shirts. All of our shirts are made in Hawaii with great care and with special attention to the details like matched pockets. Basic All-Over Print Hawaiian shirts: These shirts are probably the most common shirts. They are characterized by a repeating print that appears all over the fabric in a uniform manner as illustrated to the left. These shirts can be worn tucked in our out. These shirts typically do not match up perfectly to create a seamless image at the buttons. Scenic Print Hawaiian shirts: The scenic shirts are similar to the all-over print shirts in that the details in the print repeat in a uniform matter. The only difference is that these shirts contain scenery rather than just a simple repeating image of a flower or leaf. For some people, the scenic prints conjure up feelings of freedom and being on vacation. These shirts typically do not match up perfectly to create a seamless image at the buttons. Panel Hawaiian shirts: Some shirts have prints that are laid out in vertical panels, usually flowers and/or leaves. Like the basic all-over prints and the scenic prints, the panel designs have repeating patterns, but they repeat as you go from one side of the shirt to the other, rather than all over the shirt. These shirts typically do not match up perfectly to create a seamless image at the buttons. Border Hawaiian shirts: Shirts that have a design going across the shirt are called border Hawaiian shirts. Most of these shirts have a design in them that repeat every 10-12 inches as you go from one side of the shirt to the other. If the design happens to go across the bottom of the shirt, they may be called a Bottom Design Hawaiian shirt . The shirt illustrated at left is a border shirt that also happens to be a bottom print. Border Hawaiian shirts are meant to be worn untucked. Matched Prints: Some border or bottom print Hawaiian shirts have a seamless image at the buttons. The shirt to the left, unlike the one right above it, is perfectly matched at the buttons creating a seamless image as you go across the shirt. These shirt are harder to make and require greater skill and attention to detail. Many border print shirts do not match at the buttons like this one does. Engineered Hawaiian shirts: Engineered Hawaiian shirts have a seamless image from one side of the shirt to the other. The image usually repeats every 18 inches, which is greater than that of most border print shirts. The shirts also have a seamless image that is uninterrupted at the buttons. These shirts are usually the priciest shirts for any given quality of fabric because it requires the most fabric to manufacture. Engineered Hawaiian shirts are meant to be worn untucked to show off the entire design. Matched Pocket: The better Hawaiian shirts have a matched pocket. That means the pocket exactly matches the print on the shirt making it nearly invisible. In the picture to the left, you can see that the palm tree leaves on the pocket precisely line up with the leaves on the shirt. The result is a seamless image created by the pocket on the shirt. Creating matched pockets requires the use of more fabric and more precise cutting and sewing. All of our Hawaiian shirts come with a matched pocket. Return to Hawaiian Shirts Home Questions?

Just for you. `Ôlelo No`eau ~ Wise Sayings "I hele i kauhale, pa`a pû`olo i ka lima." "In going to the houses of others, carry a package in hand." To go empty-handed is an affront and embarrassment to both host and visitor. "He wahî pa`akai." "Just a packet of salt." Gifts that are grown or made by the giver are the best, as it is imbued with the giver's spirit, creating a "mystic bond". "E `ôpû ali`i." "Have a stomach like a chief." Fig., Be kind and generous as a chief. "`A`ohe lokomaika`i i nele i ke pâna`i." "No kind heart lacks a reward." The Hawaiian version of the Golden Rule. If one is treated well, generously, and hospitably, the courtesy to the same extent is to be returned. Different Kinds of Gifts `âlana Offering, especially a free-will offering. `âlana aloha Peace offering, offering of love. `âlana kuni Burnt offering, offering to procure death by sorcery. ha`awina Grant, contribution, honorarium, donation. ho`ina A farewell gift, especially as a parting gift after a feast. ho`okupu A ceremonial gift given as a sign of honor or respect, often to a chief or deity; church offering. louulu A betrothal gift sent from one family to another. makana Gift, present; reward, award, prize. Makana ka ho`i (What a gift!), sometimes said sarcastically, by an ungrateful person. makana aloha Gift of friendship or love; freewill offering. makana hele Parting gift. Lit., going gift. `oloa A gift to a newborn child. pâlala / palaloa A gift or tax given to a chief at the birth of a child; to honor a child with a gift; house-warming feast. pani Final gift in a ho`okupu (gift-giving as a sign of honor and respect) ceremony. wainohia A gift of affection. Nâ Makana Makamae ~ Treasured Gifts hulu Feather, quill, plumage. Objects made of feathers were the most valuable, aesthetically and materially, and were exchanged among ali`i (royalty) and as gifts to warriors with prowess. niho palaoa Carved whale tooth. Rare, highly prized, worn by high chiefs. Take a look at Uncle Charlie's lei palaoa. kâhili Royal feather standards. Other gifts include canoes, adzes, bowls, pieces of kapa , and fishhooks. Valued intrinsic gifts include feelings of kôkua (helpfulness), lokomaika`i (kindliness), and aloha . Gift-giving with Aloha hâ`awi lokomaika`i To give freely, openhanded. hâ`awi wale To give freely, gratis. ho`onu`a Give lavishly, generously, continuously. kahiau To give generously or lavishly with the heart and without expectation of return. kihikau To give lavishly. manuahi Gratis, free of charge. pâna`i Reciprocate, whether good or bad; to pay back, reward, or revenge. Repay each gift with something at least equivalent to what is received; giving more is better. pu`upâ To give and receive freely. hâ`awi manawale`a / manawale`a Give gladly. Pseudo-Gift-giving / Poor Etiquette "Genuine (gift-giving) can only take place when no exchange of money is involved, or more precisely, when something is given without any thought of getting something back except the pleasure of giving and purest aloha." ~ George Hu`eu Kanahele hâ`awi papa he`e nalu Give for the sake of receiving a gift; trade, buy and sell. helu Counting. Refers to the graceless, offensive behavior of recalling past favors to get something back. The person so offended often returned the gift. kû`ai Trade. To return a gift immediately savored of trade, and cheapened the gift. When one had been given a gift in a bowl or dish, the container was kept for a few days before returned, filled with something. ku`aku`ai Give for the sake of receiving a gift; trade, buy and sell. maua Failure to return a gift. Mahalo Mahalo "Thank you", gratitude, appreciation. There is no precise equivalent of thank you in Hawaiian. As with Native Americans and other Polynesians, saying thank you upon receiving a gift was considered unnecessary and offensive. The unspoken grace and humility in receiving the gift "spoke" volumes. To give proper thanks for a gift, give a gift back, preferably of greater value. Each new exchange lends value, prestige and mana to all concerned, creating a positive spiraling effect generated by generosity and hospitality. Mahalo nui loa. Mahalo â nui. Thank you (not an exact translation) very much. `O wau nô me ka mahalo. I am, (yours) in gratitude. >> Hawaiian Greetings & Sentiments Sources: Pukui, Mary Kawena & Elbert, Samuel H., Hawaiian Dictionary , Revised & Enlarged Edition, University Of Hawai`i Press, Honolulu, 1986.
