From the 1930s to 1960s, Kahala proudly developed the first namesake collection of aloha attire with the legendary Hawaiian waterman, Duke Kahanamoku. His spirit lives on in the inaugural launch of our Kahala x Duke Kahanamoku® licensed aloha shirt collection, a testament to his sportsmanship and enduring influence that resonates across oceans and eras.
This marks the beginning of an ongoing collaboration between Kahala and the Duke Kahanamoku license, featuring designs thoughtfully reimagined from the original Duke Kahanamoku label and our extensive Kahala archives.
Kahala x Duke Kahanamoku®
Woven in Tradition
Crafted with precision and pride, this collection pays tribute to the timeless aloha shirt silhouette found in the original Duke Kahanamoku label.
Featuring a vintage-inspired button-down collar, French front, and coconut buttons, each design embraces the classic details that define Hawaiian heritage. The bold, saturated colors are brought to life through the meticulous technique of discharge printing.
Proudly made in Hawai‘i, every shirt embodies the spirit of the Ambassador of Aloha, carrying forward a legacy of style, craftsmanship, and cultural pride.
