Includes physical pieceDuke Kahanamoku Special Edition 'Wondrous Palm Tree' L/S Burgundy
From Clutch Cafe
Starting life in the 1930's under Kahala Sportswear in Hawaii, Duke Kahanamoku became somewhat of a legendary walking, talking advertisement for all things Hawaii. The shirts manufactured under his name from the 1930s to 1960s are incredibly sought after & highly collectible. Today Duke's legendary line of authentic Hawaiian Shirts are reproduced under license by Toyo Enterprises in Japan, famous for their true reproduction styles via Sun Surf. The growth of Duke's brand allowed for these shirts to make their way into the US and become the mainstay for resort wear. This special edition 'Wondrous Palm Tree' Hawaiian shirt is a true replica from an original late 1950s shirt manufactured in Hawaii under Duke's brand. Made in Japan by Sun Surf of Toyo Enterprise, but under Duke Kahanamoku license, this shirt has been cut from a mid-weight Fujiet Rayon. It features a discharge print throughout depicting Palm Trees throughout. This shirt comes complete with Duke Kahanamoku branded special edition box. 100% 'fujiet' rayon Discharge print Reproduction of original shirt Open collar Button front Two chest pockets Made in Japan
Duke Kahanamoku Hawaiian shirts from the 1930s to 1960s are among the most collectible aloha shirts in existence, and today they are reproduced under license by Toyo Enterprise in Japan via their Sun Surf label. This special edition 'Wondrous Palm Tree' shirt is a faithful replica of a late 1950s original, with a deep burgundy ground and allover allover circular medallion print in ecru, each circle framing a palm tree over a chevron-wave background. The construction follows the original: open revere collar, two chest patch pockets, white shell-style buttons, long sleeves with single-button cuffs, and a straight-body cut that sits relaxed through the chest and torso. The fabric has the soft, slightly structured drape of a period woven cotton.
