This button up aloha shirt features our ʻAiponokamoku print on Sea Mist material with Pool ink. 

ʻAiponokamoku 

This inoa for Pōmaikaʻi's son was given by Nalani Kanakaʻole.  The meaning given for this name is "The Righteous Ruler of the Island."  The niu was chosen by Pōmaikaʻi as the symbol for her son's ʻahaʻaina piha makahiki, or first birthday lūʻau.  I did this drawing in August of 1982 and used it originally as a pareu design.  For this 2003 issue, I re-cut the image and Kūhaʻo did the layout.

Inspired by the ivy-league shirts of the early 1900s, the fabric designs are pure Hawai‘i, and the look is pleasingly fresh. The Button Up is an open front, tapered shirt with a full length placket. Coconut buttons are featured on the stand-up, button-down collar and on the front placket. Tuck it in or leave it out over the trousers for a more casual look. Either way, it's the perfect touch of crisp aloha!
