VINTAGE ALOHA SHIRTS

This is the first volume of the “Vintage Aloha Shirts” series, which introduces approximately 2,000 of the more than 4,000 vintage shirts in the collection of TOYO ENTERPRISE Co., LTD’s president Ryoichi Kobayashi, known as a world-class collector of vintage aloha shirts, in 10 volumes over a five-year period.

Based on the knowledge of vintage aloha shirts accumulated by Mr. Kobayashi over the years, and supervised by Yoshihiro Nakano, an aloha shirt researcher who has inherited this knowledge and directs the popular aloha shirt brand “SUN SURF,” this is a completely preserved edition for fans to covet.
This book contains not only basic knowledge of aloha shirts, but also the history of each brand, the background behind the shirt’s creation, and other information that is generally unknown.
Basically, the book will be divided into chapters for each shirt design pattern, and each issue will include some kind of “special feature” in addition to the chapters. This first issue will feature two major brands, KAMEHAMEHA and DUKE KAHANAMOKU.
