This pullover aloha shirt features our Puʻumanawaleʻa print on Khaki material with Mushroom ink. 

Puʻumanawaleʻa

As a child in Kāneʻohe, we hiked to the top of Puʻu ʻAliʻi to proclaim King of the Mountain. The 360 degree views of Kāneʻohe Bay gave us a sense of power.  We could see from Kānehoalani to Mōkapu.  It was exhilarating!

The love of pu'u began back then. Standing on the top of these hills - one can feel the cooling winds.  The pu'u stand out and are the special characteristics of the landscape.  The pu'u are like beauty spots - they are the highlights on a face.

Pu’u Manawaleʻa was located in the Kalapana-Kamoamoa area.  Puʻu Manawaleʻa is translated as Benevolent Hill.  Families placed the piko of their newborns in the crevices of the puʻu with a wish that the child will be benevolent.  The puʻu has since been covered by lava flows.

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!
