Poi Pounder draws from a 1960s Duke Kahanamoku by Kahala heritage print inspired by Hawaiian petroglyphs, or ki‘i pōhaku, images carved into lava rock by Native Hawaiians to record daily life, navigation, and spiritual beliefs. Figures of paddlers, animals, and geometric markings appear across the islands, forming one of Hawai‘i’s earliest visual languages.

The print reflects the stylized approach to island imagery that emerged in midcentury design. As Kahala celebrates 90 years of shirtmaking in Hawai‘i, Poi Pounder returns from the archive in our signature cotton broadcloth. Made in Hawai‘i, the shirt features a matched front, coconut buttons, and a vintage-inspired collar. Offered in Natural and Navy.

Duke’s Pareo represents the 1960s, when the aloha shirt became part of everyday life in Hawaiʻi and beyond. As workplaces began embracing aloha attire, it moved from a resort novelty to an expression of island identity—worn from the office in Downtown Honolulu to evenings out. Worn prominently by the world-renowned surf ambassador, Duke Kahanamoku, the print became part of a broader shift toward relaxed, island-informed style.

One of Kahala’s most recognizable designs, Duke’s Pareo is recognized for its bold scale and pared-back color. This 90th Anniversary edition revisits the original print, now printed on the face of the fabric. Crafted in our signature cotton broadcloth using discharge printing for rich color and a soft hand, it’s finished with vintage-inspired details including a classic collar, French front, matched pocket, and coconut buttons. Made in Hawaiʻi and offered in Black and our signature Red.
