Crazy Shirts Today
In October 2001, Mark Hollander became President and Chief Executive Officer of Crazy Shirts Hawaii, taking over from Rick Ralston. Hollander was part of the investor group that bought Crazy Shirts.
Under the new leadership, Crazy Shirts expanded in new untapped markets across the nation, such as South Carolina and Santa Barbara and moved its production facility from California back to Hawaii. The move created over 50 new jobs in Hawaii and unified all of the company’s production-related activities, including artwork and catalog production.
In the 1970s, the Crazy Shirts line included about 150 designs. Since then, they have changed production technology and today more than 550 designs are available.
Hollander currently oversees the operations of the company’s retail locations across the country, as well as the production facility and administrative offices in Halawa Valley, on the island of Oahu, Hawaii.

Famous quotes containing the words crazy, shirts and/or today:
“Stupid or smart, there wasn’t much choice about what was going to happen to me ... Growing up was like falling into a hole.... I might not quit school, not while Mama had any say in the matter, but what difference would that make? What was I going to do in five years? Work in the textile mill? Join Mama at the diner? It all looked bleak to me. No wonder people got crazy as they grew up.”
—Dorothy Allison (b. 1953)
“It’s true I’ve got no shirts to wear;
It’s true my butcher’s bill is due;
It’s true my prospects all look blue—
But don’t let that unsettle you:”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
“Boundless in your charity, but shrewd and cautious as a lender, you delight all those today whom you made beggars the day before.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
