■ A Reissue of the Charming Designs of Vintage Aloha Shirts
Sun Surf – Spring/Summer 2026 Collection | ORIENTAL BORDER
・Reissued based on vintage designs from the 1950s
・Oriental border design featuring a crane motif
・Made from filament rayon, known for its smooth drape
・Authentic materials and craftsmanship befitting a long-established aloha shirt brand
This model is a reissue of a design by “Marlboro Sportswear,” a mainland U.S. brand that built upon the foundation established by Hawaiian aloha shirt brands, introduced innovative ideas while incorporating current trends, and occasionally attracted attention with its unconventional designs.
Featuring a stylized crane as the main motif, combined with a striped design, this is a highly polished piece.
It is said that at the time, the Oriental boom in the U.S. mainland influenced Aloha shirts, leading to the creation of pieces like this one.
While incorporating Japanese motifs, its appeal lies in a unique design that fuses Japanese and Hawaiian elements—distinct from so-called “traditional Japanese-patterned” Aloha shirts.
■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 piece.
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.
The neckline features the classic open collar typical of aloha shirts, creating an airy, relaxed look.
Additionally, you can enjoy varying your look 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 the 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 design unity.
Since pattern matching requires advanced sewing techniques and uses a large amount of fabric, this is a meticulous and luxurious construction that reflects the attention to detail expected from a long-established replica Aloha shirt maker.
■ Classic Silhouette
Based on vintage Aloha shirts, the fit is slightly relaxed.
For a sleeker look, many customers opt to wear one size smaller than their usual size.
The hem features a straight, boxy cut, creating a well-balanced silhouette when worn on its own.
