Todd has partnered with the experts at Kahala on this limited-edition take on their legendary Aloha Shirt. Originally made from repurposed kimono cloth, rayon became the fabric of choice for aloha shirts after WWII when silk was rationed for parachutes; it has a lustrous feel similar to traditional silk and is naturally breathable. Kahala works directly with Japanese mills to develop their special fabric, a unique rayon filament. Aloha shirts are defined by their silhouette — short sleeves, open collars, and a loose fit and straight hem designed to be worn untucked — and their prints. In this case, an archival 1940s print inspired by a vintage yukata, a type of cotton summer kimono worn in Japan.

Kahala’s story started when co-founder George Brangier came to California from France and met legendary surfer Duke Kahanamoku, who invited him to visit Hawai’i with him. George fell in love with the islands and moved there. In 1936, he and his business partner, Nat Norfleet, started a clothing brand named Branfleet. Later renamed Kahala Sportswear, their signature item is the Aloha Shirt — they were the first business to switch to factory manufacturing these iconic shirts, and are the oldest still-operating apparel company in Hawai’i today.

Classic Look

I've worn the shirt once, got many compliments on it. It's worth the price for sure. Looks great with blue jeans. One issue (but still a 5-star): I ordered and received the Medium, but it's larger than the Medium I ordered and received for the "mid-century Teal Fish" shirt in the TS x KA group. So, not sure how much I'll wear it given that.

Father’s Day gift

I’ve wanted one of these shirts for a while. My wife purchased one for me as a gift. I love the shirt, comfy and fits just the way I like. I’m 5’8” 165lbs with an athletic build. She got me the medium and it’s my new favorite.

Beautiful shirt and sizing is perfect

Husband is 6' 4" and has a hard time finding shirts he likes that are long enough on him. This was perfect. Nice clothes for men that are larger than your average.
