There were a few different editions of Beach Boys print Hawaiian shirts issued by Reyn Spooner some years ago.   I'm not sure any of them are offered for retail anymore.  They still pop up on E-Bay, as I found a couple on a search.  Here's one of the designs:

I'm about to conclude, but has any Dennis Wilson merchandise been made available since POB's reissue?  Jim Morrison's face has been plastered on many a tee, & someone with enough savvy could market Dennis along similar lines (late '70s image preferably).

Go here: http://www.threadshop.net/denniswilson

There used to be another design too, but that's now sold out

Thanks for the link. Those shirts are very nice. Could you possibly describe the design that got
sold out, just to satisfy my OCD? I'll bet it was a great design.

I'm pretty sure it was just a straight picture of Dennis from POB that took up about as much space on the front as the shirt on the left. It didn't just use the front cover though it was more like this: http://snobsite.com/archives/Dennis%20Wilson%20(Reduced).jpg. And the picture went down to just undernearth his pocket. Sorry, I'm really not that good at describing things Tongue

They should sell Mike Love robe's of the early 70s. Tongue

But seriously, I have bought shirts of bands that I wasn't familiar with before just because I thought the shirt was cool. I would think that the BBs could do the same with an early 70s or even Ricky Blondie era picture. Even a Pet Sounds shirt would be groovy.
