The Paradise Found brand of Aloha shirts has been around since the 1980s and has produced countless different prints. And while they always come up with new designs to keep up with the times, a handful of shirts have remained very popular over the decades.

The most famous of their shirts is the red Jungle Bird print. Tom Selleck wore the red version of this shirt in the opening credits of the 1980s TV series, Magnum PI as well as in several episodes. This shirt was inducted into the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. The Smithsonian reportedly chose this shirt and other Magnum PI memorabilia because of the show and its positive portrayal of Vietnam veteran characters Thomas Magnum, TC, and Rick in an era when the US was still dealing with the scars of the Vietnam War. Jay Hernandez has also wore this shirt in the Magnum PI reboot.
