By the 1950s, aloha shirts had established themselves as resort wear even on the U.S. mainland, ushering in an era where various apparel brands entered the aloha shirt market. Consequently, designs incorporating trends from the U.S. mainland began to emerge.
■SUN SURF
SUN SURF is a brand that analyzes its vast collection of vintage aloha shirts and pours a strong commitment to craftsmanship and production processes into every single garment.
SUN SURF’s aloha shirts are known as masterpieces that attract a wide range of fans—from American casual style enthusiasts to aloha shirt collectors—because they faithfully recreate the charm of vintage aloha shirts in every detail, from the design to the fabric and stitching.
■ Fabric
The fabric used is “filament rayon,” characterized by its high heat dissipation and lustrous sheen.
Its drape when worn and the way it flutters in the breeze create a cool, breezy look, making it the quintessential material that many people associate with aloha shirts.
■ Details
The neckline features the classic open collar typical of aloha shirts, creating an airy, relaxed look.
Additionally, you can enjoy varying your style by looping the strap through the small top button positioned beneath the collar.
The buttons are urea buttons—made by blending resin—which were used not only on aloha shirts but also on various casual garments of that era.
Since urea buttons are colored at the raw material stage rather than painted, scratches are less noticeable.
The chest pocket is pattern-matched to the body of the shirt, creating a sense of unity throughout the design.
Since pattern matching requires advanced sewing skills and uses a large amount of fabric, the construction is meticulous and luxurious, reflecting the attention to detail expected from a long-established replica Aloha shirt maker.
■ Classic Silhouette
Based on vintage Aloha shirts, the fit is slightly roomy.
If you prefer a sleeker look, many people choose to wear a size smaller than their usual size.
The hem features a straight, boxy cut, creating a well-balanced silhouette when worn on its own.
