Buying guide & FAQ
Which shirt did Tom Selleck wear?
The one everyone asks for is Paradise Found's Jungle Bird: red rayon covered in parrots and tropical leaves. It's the print most people mean when they say "the Magnum shirt," and it's still made by the same Hawaii company today. After the show ended, Tom Selleck and Universal Pictures gave one of his red parrot-print shirts to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, where it's part of the permanent collection.
Paradise Found also sells several other prints under the Magnum P.I. name, including Calla Lily, Bamboo, Mini Anthurium and Star Orchid. Those are further down this page.
What the real one feels like
It's 100% rayon, so it's soft and drapes heavy, with bamboo wood buttons and a chest pocket matched to the print. That matched pocket is worth checking on any aloha shirt you buy, because it takes extra fabric and extra cutting time to get right.
Rayon wants gentle care. See our care guide before the first wash.
Sizing the Jungle Bird
Paradise Found's men's shirts are known to run large, so don't automatically order your usual size. Lay a shirt you already like flat, measure it armpit to armpit and from the collar seam to the hem, and email the numbers to jz@MauiShirts.com before you order. We'll tell you which size lines up.
Matching his and hers
The Jungle Bird print also comes as a women's camp shirt and as dresses, so you can show up to the theme party as a pair. Browse every piece in the print on our Jungle Bird page.
