Magnum P.I. was a widely popular crime drama TV series that was broadcasted throughout most of the 80s (1980-1988). It won multiple Primetime Emmy Awards and cemented its legacy as one of the most popular shows during its time. The main character, Thomas Magnum, (starring Tom Selleck) was a private investigator based in Oahu, Hawaii. Magnum, an indulgent man who often enjoyed the luxuries of Robin Master's estate, is followed on his various adventures while out solving cases, most of which usually contain humorous overtones and thrilling action. While Magnum certainly takes his job seriously, he is basically the embodiment of "work smarter, not harder". It’s no wonder why there’s so much interest in the original, iconic Tom Selleck Hawaiian shirt.
Before becoming a private investigator, Magnum and his partners T.C. and Rick served in Vietnam as Navy SEALS. Magnum P.I. is unique in the fact that it was one of the first television series to portray Vietnam War veterans as human beings with emotions. In a time where veterans were often seen as cold-blooded killers, this portrayal was praised by many ex-servicemen who appreciated the rare showing of respect. Some of the most memorable characteristics of the show were Magnum's glorious mustache, his baseball caps and his wide variety of Aloha shirts.
Those who are die-hard fans of the drama series will know that Magnum would often wear a specific red Aloha shirt, often referred to as the Magnum P.I. shirt. This red Hawaiian shirt features a funky "jungle bird" pattern and went down in history as Tom Selleck's Magnum PI Shirt. Funnily enough, Paradise Found is the manufacturer and label of this famous shirt. Once Pacific Clothing ( the owner of Paradise Found at the time) discovered that Selleck was donning their pattern, they decided to provide their Hawaiian shirts directly to the show. In 1988, Tom Selleck handed the famous Magnum P.I. shirt over to the Smithsonian Institution, where its rich history and elegant designs can be enjoyed for eternity.
