This pullover aloha shirt features our Healakūpono print on Pink material with Biscuit and Paprika ink. 

Healakūpono

Top Notch Automotive specializes in lifting trucks.  They have taken our personal trucks, modified height and wheels, and delivered exceptional next-level super trucks.  For their ten-year anniversary, we collaborated creating an aloha shirt.

“He Ala Kūpono” was designed to acknowledge the many ala - or paths - that their trucks navigate.  Dependability is most important, but the intricate work they do also guided the art going into this anniversary design.  These important ideas manifested in the various niho and pewa patterns that appear throughout the print.  The map of Hawaiʻi Island illustrates where they operate as well as the island-wide capability of the vehicles they modify both on and off the pavement.  

This design was named He Ala Kūpono, “the proper path,” not only to call to the many ala that their trucks travel, but to recognize the kūlana of Top Notch’s work.

Inspired by the ivy-league shirts of the early 1900s, the fabric designs are pure Hawai‘i, and the look is pleasingly fresh. The Pullover features a half placket and is designed slightly wider to allow over-the-head dressing with ease. 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!
