Product Description
Aloha Shirt (Hawaiian Shirt)
Remade from a vintage kimono.
Enjoy the traditional weaving and dyeing of Japan’s good old days in a form that fits today’s lifestyle.
Material: Silk fabric (Ro) with a sheer texture
Note: “Ro” is a type of silk weave that developed during the Edo period for summer clothing.
This fabric was originally used as formal wear for married women during midsummer in Japan — a part of traditional summer kimono attire.
Now that kimono are no longer worn regularly, we want to preserve the unique charm of kimono, and the beauty of Japanese dyeing and weaving, in a form that suits modern life.
With that desire, this piece has been reborn as a men’s top.
