Hawaii ~ Red Dirt Shirt


Red Dirt Rules ~ some of them printed here ~ the ones I like:

Never judge a day by the weather
The best things in life aren't things
Tell the truth . . . there is less to remember
Speak softly and wear a loud red dirt shirt
Loosen up . . . the unaimed arrow never misses
There are two ways to get rich . . . You can make more or you can require less
What you look like doesn't matter . . . beauty is internal
No rain . . . no rainbows!!!

On September 11, 1992 Hurricane Iniki hit the Hawaiian island of Kauai, causing nearly 2 billion dollars in damage. Among the businesses affected was our small screen print shop. All of our white shirts waiting to be printed were drenched with water and stained with Red Dirt blown in from the storm. Instead of throwing out the shirts, we decided to dry them and print them as they were. The T shirts, stained with the ultra iron rich Red Dirt soil and printed with Hawaiian based themes, became a hit with the locals and visitors alike.

When my mom went to Hawaii she got a Red Dirt T-shirt, which I have now.
