Nook Inc. Aloha Shirt

Clothes & Accessories

Aloha shirts, also known as “Hawaiian shirts” is a shirt worn all over Hawaii. They first appeared in the 1930s and were originally made of silk and cotton. Their cut and style were largely inspired by the palaka work shirts work by sugar cane and pineapple plantation workers. When tourists flooded the new state of Hawaii from the mainland, the popularity of the Aloha shirt grew, along with the variety of the prints. While on the stuffy mainland the shirt is seen as excessively casual, Hawaiian natives wear these shirts in their day-to-day life. Nowadays they’re most commonly made with rayon and cotton, the perfect material for a hot day.

The Nook Inc. Aloha Shirt is available from the Nook Stop machine in the Resident Services building. Select "Redeem Nook Miles". It'll cost 600 miles to purchase.
Around the time New Horizons released, Nintendo actually did sell an official version of the Nook Inc. Aloha Shirt by Fifth Sun but alas, it's no longer being made. They also released a T-shirt that was a collaboration with Puma, but that's no longer made either.

They also sell kid's sizes, and even Isabelle's pink version. You can find these at My Nintendo Store in Japan as well (they also have a cool windbreaker).

If you're in the United States and want an official shirt from Nintendo, eBay is a good place to look. There are listings from enterprising sellers buying from the UK and Japan and reselling to the US.

If the past is any indication, these will be going out of stock at some point. While they're not the official version, you can find reasonably good replicas on Amazon.
