SUN SURF

About SUN SURF

SUN SURF is a brand that focuses on what is commonly referred to as "vintage" rayon-made Aloha shirts, primarily from the golden era of the 1930s to the 1950s.

SUN SURF Story

In the 1950s, as Hawaii reached its peak development, the printing of Aloha shirt fabrics was commissioned in the mainland USA or Japan. At that time, the port trading company (the precursor to Toyo Enterprises) was actually producing rayon-made Aloha shirts from the era now known as vintage, supplying them to U.S. military bases under names like "Kimono Gown" and "Happy Coat." They also produced Aloha shirts under the "Fashion Mart" label as their own brand and exported them to Hawaii. Against this backdrop, the Aloha shirt brand SUN SURF was born in the early 1970s, shortly after the establishment of Toyo Enterprises in 1965. Since then, for over 40 years, SUN SURF has been dedicated to crafting Aloha shirts based on vintage inspirations.
