A '''Hawaiian shirt''' is a type of [[shirt]] that appears in ''[[NetHack]]''. It is made of [[cloth]], and is nearly identical to the [[T-shirt]].

==Generation==
The Hawaiian shirt makes up 0.8% of all randomly generated [[armor]]. General [[store]]s, used armor dealerships and antique weapon outlets can sell Hawaiian shirts.

[[Tourist]]s start the game with an uncursed +0 Hawaiian shirt.{{refsrc|src/u_init.c|147|nethack=3.6.7}}

{{upcoming|NetHack 3.7.0|As part of {{commit|20cbadcf85544cf9d0c3f4e4200b2800bab49c8e|commit 20cbadc}} - which strengthens [[quest leader]]s and makes it so that killing them no longer makes the game [[unwinnable]] - [[Twoflower]], the [[Tourist quest]] leader, [[Monster starting inventory|always generates with]] a +3 Hawaiian shirt.}}

==Description==
While worn, a Hawaiian shirt provides no base [[AC]].

Entering a [[shop]] with a visible worn Hawaiian shirt will cause the [[shopkeeper]] to charge an extra {{frac|3}} markup and buy things for {{frac|3}} of the base price.

{{upcoming|NetHack 3.7.0|Reading a Hawaiian shirt that is not worn under body armor will print a message describing its design - as with the T-shirt, the design is dependent on the item's object ID, so it will remain consistent for any one shirt.}}

==Strategy==
Like the T-shirt, Hawaiian shirts are generally employed to enchant as an additional source of AC, but are best reserved until after a character obtains protection from [[polymorph trap]]s - worn torso armor will be destroyed if they polymorph into a large form. Tourists in particular may want to consider removing their shirt as soon as possible for this reason and hold on to it for later use once they have [[magic resistance]], along with solid [[Scroll of enchant armor|enchantment]] on their other armor if possible. An enchanted Hawaiian shirt may also be [[wish]]ed for in order to top off an otherwise-complete [[ascension kit]].

For characters not averse to [[polypiling]], shirts are fairly easy to obtain with a [[wand of polymorph]] (or the {{spell of|polymorph}} spell for powerful enough casters) and a large pile of armor, which is most easily obtained in the [[Castle]] or [[Fort Ludios]]. The Castle's armor storeroom in particular has a 13.13% chance of containing either a Hawaiian shirt or a T-shirt, and the random general store items in [[Orcus Town]] may also have a Hawaiian shirt among them. A bones containing a Hawaiian shirt is very likely to belong to a Tourist.

==History==
The Hawaiian shirt first appears in [[NetHack 2.3e]], where it generates if the SHIRT [[compile-time option]] is defined - in [[NetHack 3.1.0]], this is changed to the TOURIST compile-time option.

==Variants==
===NetHack brass===
In [[NetHack brass]], stylish clothing stores can sell Hawaiian shirts.

===SLASH'EM===
In [[SLASH'EM]], the two [[Tourist (player monster)|tourist]] [[player monster]]s in [[The Guild of Disgruntled Adventurers]] generate with Hawaiian shirts.

===dNetHack===
In [[dNetHack]] and [[notdNetHack]], the Hawaiian shirt confers 0 base AC and 0 base [[DR]] while worn, and appears as a '''flowery shirt''' when unidentified.

Twoflower [[Monster starting inventory|always generates with]] a blessed +0 Hawaiian shirt.

===xNetHack===
In [[xNetHack]], Hawaiian shirts that are not worn under body armor can be read to print a message describing the shirt's pattern.

Twoflower always generates with a +3 Hawaiian shirt.

===SpliceHack===
In [[SpliceHack]], the [[Cartomancer]] role starts with a +0 Hawaiian shirt.

===EvilHack===
In [[EvilHack]], Hawaiian shirts that are not worn under body armor can be read to print a message describing the shirt's pattern. [[Tortle (starting race)|Tortles]] that play as Tourists have their starting shirt replaced with a [[toque]].

Twoflower always generates with a Hawaiian shirt, and player monster tourists that are not [[Tortle (monster attribute)|tortles]] will generate with Hawaiian shirts.

Hawaiian shirts can be made of other materials such as [[leather]], which provides some base [[AC]] and may make them more valuable to wear early on. Shirt wishes are just as popular as in ''NetHack'' if not more so: [[Object materials (EvilHack)|object materials]] and [[Object properties|properties]] make the shirt slot valuable for characters that are not [[Giant (starting race)|giants]] or tortles. An example of such a wish is "blessed greased fixed +3 [[dragonhide]] Hawaiian shirt of decay", with "decay" being an object property that provides [[drain resistance]].

===SlashTHEM===
In addition to SLASH'EM details, [[SlashTHEM]] adds [[Musa-Shiya]], an [[artifact]] Hawaiian shirt that grants a +2 AC bonus and [[hallucination resistance]] while worn, and can be [[invoked]] for [[enlightenment]].

===Hack'EM===
In [[Hack'EM]], Hawaiian shirts can only be made of cloth, as in SLASH'EM.

==Encyclopedia entry==
{{encyclopedia|
'One of the things he can't do, he can't ride a horse,' he
said.  Then he stiffened as if sandbagged by a sudden
recollection, gave a small yelp of terror and dashed into
the gloom.  When he returned, the being called Twoflower was
hanging limply over his shoulder.  It was small and skinny,
and dressed very oddly in a pair of knee-length britches and
a shirt in such a violent and vivid conflict of colours that
the Weasel's fastidious eye was offended even in the half-light.
