Toyo Enterprises Ltd, also famous for the army reconstruction brand Buzz Rickson's and the work wear / denim brand Sugar Cane & Co.

This is a reproduction of a vintage "Polka Dot" sport shirt produced in the mid 50s. The rayon fabric used has a nice drape and is carefully reproduced to see the standard of vintage originals.

In the world of vintage collecting, men's polka dot shirts are rare and sought after by vintage collectors. It makes us happy to see that Star of Hollywood has recreated this particular style and made it more accessible than wearing vintage ones.

Rayon is a semi-synthetic cellulosic fiber that has been used in textiles since 1899 and is among others known as the go to textile for Hawaiian shirts. The secret that makes Rayon a perfect fiber for warmer temperatures comes from the characteristics of the fibre. It's soft, smooth, comfortable and some what shiny. Compared to cotton, Rayon is a less absorbent fibre making it perfect to wear in humid climates and in warmer weather. It isn’t a naturally warm fabric, which means that it doesn’t retain heat. It will stay cool and breathable, a necessity during the hottest days of summer.
