Aloha Shirt (Suika)

This is a very breathable, lightweight, dead stock from the 1980’s. The fabric is a ecru cotton with black sashiko stitching. We hand dye each shirt with a natural Akane dye (the same dye they used to dye the red circle on Japanese flags apparently). The end result is similar to the inside of a watermelon, which is suika in Japanese. 
Due to the narrow width of the vintage fabric and the limited amount, we can only make a few shirts total. 
*Please understand that each shirt is dyed individually and there could be slight variations from one shirt to another. 
- 100% cotton selvedge  fabric
- Black thread sashiko stitching 
- Deep Akane natural hand dye
- Japanese sea shell natural buttons 
- Hand stitched button holes 
- Hand painted sumi tag on vintage hemp fabric 
 
 
The fabric is washed so there shouldn’t be much shrinkage once you receive the shirt
