For its "US13487 Palaka Check Blouse Jacket," SUN SURF meticulously studied an original from its own archives and authentically recreated every detail—a piece of Hawaiian history that's wearable again today.
The history of Hawaiian workwear—and thus the origin of the Aloha shirt—begins with the Japanese immigrants who crossed the Pacific and settled in Hawaii. The hard work there required sturdy workwear that differed from traditional Japanese garments.
When Yasuda Kayoji, himself born in Japan, founded the Union Supply Company in 1922, he made a name for himself with high-quality, functional workwear. The simple yet durable blouson jackets made of 10oz palaka check fabric quickly became standard on sugarcane and pineapple plantations.
