"SASA TORA"
"Sasatora", the first reproduction of Sunsurf's special edition. This popular design has been featured in many vintage aloha shirt books published overseas in the past, and was worn by Bear, played by Sam Melville, in the movie "Big Wednesday." This work also has a model made of rayon habutae, but this time it is based on an extremely rare model made of rayon wall crepe material, and faithfully reproduces the characteristic vintage sewing specifications, such as the hand stitching on the short point collar and the folded cuffs.
The original was made by "Art Vogue," a brand of Art Vogue of California, which developed sports shirts, mainly aloha shirts and bowling shirts, in the 1950s and became popular. In addition to the excellent design, the originality of the switching patterns, careful sewing, and unique woven names are rich in originality, and they have captured the hearts of vintage collectors not only at the time but also today. "
The "Art Vogue" brand name, which is a reproduction of the vintage design, is attached to the back of the neck, and a tag designed for this purpose is also included.
The shell buttons, carved from shells, have a beautiful luster that draws attention and creates an elegant atmosphere.
Characteristic details such as the hand stitching on the small short-point collar are also reproduced.
The classic open collar of aloha shirts gives a relaxed feel around the neck and a refreshing look.
You can also enjoy changing the style by looping the small top button under the collar.
The chest pocket is patterned to match the body, creating a sense of unity throughout the design.
Matching the patterns requires high sewing skills and uses a large amount of fabric, so it is made with care and luxury, and you can feel the commitment that only a long-established replica aloha shop can provide.
The cuffs are folded and sewn, a detail unique to vintage reproductions.
The shoulders, which are prone to stress when worn, are yoke-styled with an additional piece of fabric to increase strength.
Pleats are provided in two places on the back to reduce the feeling of tightness when moving around the shoulders.
The hem is cut in a straight line, creating a box-shaped silhouette that is well-balanced when worn as a single piece.
The fabric is made of rayon wall crepe, which has a distinctive grained surface.
The warp threads are made of untwisted rayon yarn, and the weft threads are made of rayon wall yarn with an uneven surface, giving the material an appearance similar to crepe. Originally developed as a fabric for Japanese clothing, it coordinates perfectly with Japanese-patterned aloha shirts.
