This Pullover Aloha Shirt features our Keaukaha print on Green Tea material with Metal and Avocado ink. 

Keaukaha

In collaboration with the 2009 graduating class of Ke Ana Laʻahana, we offer this design! Their perspective of Keaukaha pays honor to their homeland, ʻāina hānau, ʻāina pulapula.

The elements in this design illustrate their personal lives and dreams. The currents represent place (Ke-Au-Kaha) and tides. The receding tide is a metaphor for them leaving their home and the incoming tide symbolizes their return home to nurture with the experiences and knowledge they gained while away.  

The ʻohe kāpala is their portrayal of ahi, describing the classmates as a school of ahi. They moved together, ate together and defended one another. That movement, like the fish in the ocean, was characteristic of their personalities.

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!
