Alfred Shaheen, inventor of the Hawaiian shirt, has passed away. He was 86.
   "Before Shaheen came along, there was no Hawaii garment industry. There were mom and pop stores but no real modern industry," Linda Arthur, a professor of textiles and clothing at Washington State University said.
By 1959, the year Hawaii became a state, he had more than 400 employees working for him and was grossing more than $4 million a year as the major player in the islands' garment industry.

It was posted on a g33ksite I check daily.
For the rest, browsing sites while working is allright to find stuff like this. :)
