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.

It's been awhile since we've made women's aloha shirts and we are excited to re-launch our women's styles in our favorite heritage prints. Designed to be tucked in or tied in a knot, these cool shirts have the feel of an original, with the modern look of today. Collect one, collect all.

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 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.

Pa'ani, Hawaiian for "play" features local favorites and serves as a good reminder that there's always time for a good time.

Inspired by iconic large-scale engineered prints from the 40s and 50s, Pilialoha (meaning close friendship or beloved companionship) features a romantic scene of a beautiful couple paddling their canoe through a secluded lagoon.

We partnered with the same Japanese fabric mills we've worked with for decades to create an exclusive rayon filament that gives us the same look and feel as our iconic 'silkies', which were also a rayon filament fabric. With improved fabric quality and printing techniques, our Collector's Edition shirts have the same cool and easy fit, with an updated smooth hand.
