As early as 1810, this cotton fabric came from Tahiti and left its impressions on many artists and traveled royalty. French painter Paul Gauguin painted many of his primitive lifestyle pieces with women draped in the bold and colorful pareos. As a forerunner to the traditional tapa cloth, pareo made its way to the shores of the Hawaiian islands in the early 1930's, and its unique hand painted likeness continues in this Duke's Pareo design, with subtle pineapple and floral imagery. Printed on the reverse side for a vintage look.

Our cotton broadcloth is a durable woven fabric. By having the reverse side of the fabric facing out, the prints' motifs and colors are softened. Special care is taken when printing to ensure quality and uniformity.

This special edition aloha shirt entitled ʻĀina Pūlama Mau, meaning ‘islands forever treasured’ in Hawaiian, celebrates the 40th anniversary of The Nature Conservancy, Hawai‘i chapter.

TNC has been active in Hawaiʻi since the late 1960s, and opened its Honolulu office in 1980. Since then, it has created partnerships to manage over 2 million acres of forests, watersheds, and restore Hawaiʻi’s coral reefs and fisheries.

Kahala artists worked closely with TNC scientists and Hawaiian cultural advisors and the result is a striking piece of artwork that weaves together an assemblage of wildlife and evokes a call to preserve the nature and culture of these islands.

Featured in this print are 30 native species of both land and sea, from the iconic ‘I’iwi bird and beloved Honu, to lesser known favorites like the Pinao’ula damsel fly and Kāhuli tree snail.

“The native plants and animals featured on this shirt celebrate the stunning biocultural diversity found in our lands and waters. They are the foundation of what makes Hawai‘i, Hawai‘i, and there is a story to be told about each one of them. We are honored to work with Kahala to tell that story through this design.” - Ulalia Woodside, Executive Director, The Nature Conservancy, Hawai‘i chapter

A portion of proceeds supports The Nature Conservancy, Hawai‘i chapter.

Tropic Vision is the work of the late John Severson and a collaborative print in our Collector's Edition series. Inspired by our iconic "silkies" from the 1930's, we partnered with the same Japanese fabric mills that produced our originals to create an exclusive rayon filament, which we then cut and sew in Hawai'i. With improved printing techniques, these shirts have the look of the original, but with an updated smooth feel. A modified fit, this shirt has the tailoring of our Standard Fit with a slightly relaxed drape to it.

This shirt comes with a collector's box that showcases the print through an aloha shirt window front and tells the story of Kahala on the back. Whether you keep it or gift it, this shirt is something special.

Re-imagining prints is something that we love to do each season. This particular print is especially cool for many reasons. A 1940's heritage design, we brought Pa'ani back in our Collector's Edition rayon filament, a fabrication re-produced from the same factory that originally produced it for us. These special shirts have the same vibe of the classic aloha shirt but with an updated look and modernized fabric. This shirt comes with a collector's box that showcases the print through an aloha shirt window front and tells the story of Kahala on the back. Whether you keep it or gift it, this shirt is something special.
