Most Hawaiian shirts are made from polyester and it shows. They cling in the heat, they don’t breathe, and after a few wears they start to look like something you pulled from a hotel gift shop bin. Cotton changes all of that. A well made cotton Hawaiian in a considered print is one of the easiest things you can put on in summer and still look like you thought about it. We’ve been paying particular attention to the weight of the fabric, the quality of the printing, and whether the pattern actually matches at the seams, which is the detail that separates a shirt made with care from one made to hit a price point. The prints in here are bold without being loud. The fits are relaxed without being shapeless. Yes, they cost a little more than what you’d find on a rack at the beach. That’s exactly the point.
