This pullover aloha shirt features our Pākūkū print on Burgundy material with Rose ink. 

Pākūkū

The cadence of the gourd regulates every step in hula kahiko. Its rhythm is set by the hoʻopaʻa and the dancer illustrates the movement. The ipu is one of the percussion instruments of traditional Hawaiian dance.  “Pākūkū” is often heard in the hālau hula.  It directs both step and movement of the hips.

These gourds are ready to be transformed into ipu heke for the next generation of dancers.  Ola ka hula!

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!
