Sun Surf is a sub brand of Sugar Cane & Co, a Japanese brand well known for their focus on reconstructing the early days of vintage workwear history. The brand has roots that goes back to the 1950's but it wasen't until the late 80's that Sugar Cane started building the reputation for being one of the best denim makers in Japan and it is a reputation they still deserve!

This is Sun Surf's version of a classic short sleeved sensuji shirt. If one thinks about the clothing history in Hawaii most people are familiar with the Hawaiian shirts, however this shirt is also a reproduction of a vintage classic shirt from Hawaii. The so called Sensuji fabric is a indigodyed striped fabric produced in Japan and back in the middle of the 20 th century it was commonly used in Japanes work wear garments, known for beeing drabel and long lasting. These fabrics were shipped to Hawaii and used to make shirts and work garments over there as well. Some sources says that these served as a source of emotional support for Japanese immigrants who thought of their distant homeland.

If you are looking for a shirt that combines the elegance of Japanese textile craftsmanship with a Western cut, then this shirt is perfect for you. At first it will feel stiff but as time goes on it will soften and we can only imagine how beautiful the patina will get after several years of use.

The has has a single chest pocket, 40's style collar and coconut buttons. 

The shirt is pre washed so there is no need to be worried about the shrinkage.
