"TORCH GINGER"
"The motif is torch ginger, a perennial plant of the ginger family. It has a long history in Hawaii, and thanks to the island's favorable climate, it blooms throughout the island, delighting the people. It has been featured in aloha shirt designs since its early days and has long been a popular motif, making it one of Hawaii's most iconic plants. This latest reissue features a bordered background with torch ginger, creating a unique design with contrasting colors. It truly conveys Kamehameha Garment Company's strong commitment to its patterns."
The classic open collar of an aloha shirt creates a relaxed, refreshing look.
You can also change the style by fastening the loop around the small top button located below the collar.
The back of the neck features an original Sunsurf design.
The buttons are made of bamboo, carved from bamboo.
Their natural texture complements the plant-based design.
The chest pocket and body pattern are matched, creating a unified look throughout the design.
Matching patterns requires advanced sewing techniques and a large amount of fabric, resulting in a meticulous, luxurious construction that exudes the attention to detail you'd expect from a long-established replica aloha shirt manufacturer.
The shoulders, which bear the most strain when worn, are strengthened with a yoke design that adds an extra layer of fabric.
Two pleats on the back reduce tightness when moving around the shoulders.
The boxy hem is cut in a straight line, creating a well-balanced silhouette even when worn alone.
The fabric is made of filament rayon, known for its high heat dissipation properties and luster.
The drape and the way it flutters in the breeze create a cool look, making it a classic material that many people associate with aloha shirts.
Based on vintage aloha shirts, the sizing is slightly loose.
For a more streamlined look, many people recommend going down one size from their usual size.
