Due to incredible demand, the five First-Class Aloha Shirt stamps celebrating
Hawaii’s stamp on fashion are now offered in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA)
booklet of 10 stamps. Available nationwide today, the stamps can be purchased
online at usps.com/shop,
by calling 1-800-STAMP-24 (1-800-782-6724) or
by visiting Post Offices.
The stamps were first
unveiled in January at a ceremony in Honolulu in sheets of 20 and coils of 100,
and sold more than 50 million in April alone. Two of the five
classic shirts depicted in the stamp art showcase surfers and their boards; one
shows fossil fish, shells, and sea stars; another shows a tropical flower known
as the bird of paradise; and one shows Kilauea, a volcano on the southeastern
edge of the Big Island of Hawaii.
Customers may view
the Aloha Shirts Forever stamps, as well as many of this year’s other stamps,
on Facebook
at facebook.com/USPSStamps, through
Twitter @USPSstamps or on the
website Beyond the Perf at beyondtheperf.com/2012-preview.

Service’s online site for background on upcoming stamp subjects,
