In 1960 the Kamehameha Garment Company sent many of its garments to the rest of the United Sates. Many people enjoyed wearing these shirts in their leisure time but had more of a problem wearing them as business wear.

The huge demand for the aloha shirt produced more effective and better production. Many new factories sprung up to meet the demand. Soon thereafter designers on the mainland began making aloha shirts that are no longer authentic. Because of this the shirts no longer had inspiration.
