Aloha kākou!
Our Spring/Summer 2015 Delivery continues this Saturday with more items from the Weight of a Picul Collection. In these two seasons, we focus our attention to two of Hawaiʻi’s commodities that have proven to be incredibly important in Hawaiʻi’s socioeconomic growth. ʻIliahi, or Hawaiian sandalwood, dynamically shifted our economy with the introduction of the trade industry. Koa ushered in a new demand for quality materials in modern times, solidifying its place among the world’s finest woods. The name “Weight of a Picul” stems from the Asian unit of measure that was used when trading the sandalwood in the early 1800’s, defined as “the amount a man could carry on his shoulder” and equalled 133 1/3 pounds.
For this collection, we created two separate Real Tree Camouflage patterns based on the rare and endangered ʻIliahi Tree and the fine grain Koa Tree, both of which are endemic to Hawaiʻi. In each pattern we strive to highlight the trees for their distinct beauty and importance in Hawaiʻi’s history.
Koa Tree Camo Aloha Snapback
In almost direct contrast to our shop-exclusive ʻIliahi Tree Camo Aloha snapback, this snapback features a white mesh crown with a full black neoprene visor. The front Aloha embroidery is sublimated with our Koa Tree Camo pattern, while the top button, side logos and back crest stand out in a cerulean blue. Around the back we have a black snap enclosure.
Koa Tree Camo Who The Crown Fits Tee – Black
Our standard logo tee featuring a Koa Tree Camo fill, along with a white outline and a small white crown on the back.
Vamp Keiki Tee – Blue
A design from earlier this season inspired by one of the finest ukulele crafters in Hawaii. This time it’s printed on a blue tee for the keiki and toddlers.
