Our Heritage

A Kahala shirt makes you feel good. It's that simple. Our artwork reflects the lifestyle and vibrancy of Hawai'i. We carry a bit of the Waikiki beach boy spirit in our hearts, surf when the waves are good and never turn down an adventure.

We are family owned, community minded and committed to manufacturing the majority of our collection locally. After all, an aloha shirt made here in Hawai'i means something special.
