| 词汇 | aloha shirt |
| 词源 | aloha shirt. Although these colorful Hawaiian shirts with bright prints of hula girls, surfers, pineapples, and other Ha- waiian subjects date back to the 1920s, they were made famous by manufacturer Ellery Chun (1909–2000), who first mass- produced them. The shirts were made in small Honolulu tailor shops until Mr. Chun, a native Hawaiian and Yale graduate, manufactured them in quantity and coined their name in 1933. They sold for 95 cents apiece during the Great Depression. See aloha. |
