Since 1977, Sun Surf has been dedicated to reproducing the finest Hawaiian shirts of the 1930s through to the 1950s. Each shirt is crafted in Japan using original archival garments as reference, preserving the authenticity, character and craftsmanship of the golden age of aloha wear.
The Ancient Capital design is based on a rare early-1950s shirt produced under the Kilohana label, faithfully recreated by Sun Surf with remarkable attention to detail. Featuring scenes inspired by Japan's historic temples and landscapes, the artwork captures the rich cultural influences that helped define post-war Hawaiian shirt design.
Cut from an exceptional crepe rayon, the fabric has a fluid drape and distinctive textured hand that brings the print to life. Using Sun Surf's specialist over-printing techniques, every nuance of the original artwork is carefully reproduced, capturing not only the intricate details but also the atmosphere and charm of the vintage piece itself.
