“I keep a lot of these in the back,” Oliver Men’s Shop owner Parker Moosman says as he emerges from the boutique’s storage room with a small pouch. Inside is a collection of 50-plus vintage Hawai‘i charms that Moosman’s culled during his travels or sourced from manufacturers. The mix includes everything from island silhouettes and rotating discs topped with hula dancers to patinaed 3D surfers and keepsakes from local swimming competitions. Moosman himself wears a charm of St. Christopher, the patron saint of travelers, a favorite among surfers.
To snag a few while at the shop, just shoot a knowing glance toward the back and drop a low-key “what else you got?”
