Personally, spending a little more on your Aloha clothing is worth it every single time.
My father still has & wears his favorite shirts from when The King, Elvis Presley was a regular in Waikiki and they never go out of style.
My tip, stick to 100% cotton or Bamboo based materials avoid Polyester.
As for buttons, Pearl, lava rock GREAT! but please no coral 🪸 buttons unless you’re buying Vintage 👌🏻😊🏝️
