Sun Surf SS39478 Rayon Hawaiian Shirt "Sasa Tora" Special Edition

The Sun Surf brand is known for making the finest reproductions of classical Hawaiian shirts today. These shirts are carefully reproduced with a big attention to details when it comes to reproducing pattern, fabrics and fits of the fantastic shirts produced on Hawaii in the 30s to the 50s. If you compare these ones to a original vintage one it will be hard to tell the difference! 

This is a reproduction of a vintage Hawaiian shirt dated to the late 50's. The original version of this shirt was made by Art Vogue in California. It is a well known shirt that has been featured in many publications in the past. Actor Sam Melville's character wore this shirt in the movie Big Wednesday. The material used in this shirt is a rayon crepe, which is very rare, this reproduction also has the hand sewn stitching on the short point collar and on the folded cuffs. The shirt also comes with beautiful shell buttons.

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.
