Sunny Side Mornings, Washed in Color
Some mornings on the south side of the island start with nothing but warm sand, a light breeze and a shirt that feels like it has already seen a few sessions. That is the feeling we wanted to capture with the Koloa South Shore Pigment Dyed T-Shirt. Pull it on before a quick walk along the shoreline, or keep it on through a long afternoon when the water is glassy and nobody is in a hurry.
Pigment dyeing is a garment-dye process, so the color is applied to the finished shirt. The result is a soft, faded look that feels broken in from the start. Whether you are heading out for an early swim or winding down after a day in the sun, this tee fits right into the rhythm of the coast.
What Goes Into It
- 6.1-ounce, 100% US ring spun cotton
- Soft-washed, garment-dyed fabric
- Top-stitched, classic width rib collar
- Twill-taped neck and shoulders
- Double-needle armhole, sleeve and bottom hems
- Seven color and logo combinations: Washed Denim with a white logo, Blue Spruce with white, Denim with white, Bay with white, Ivory with navy, Pepper with white and Sandstone with white
The top-stitched collar keeps its shape wash after wash, the twill tape reinforces the neck and shoulders where a tee takes the most strain, and the double-needle hems give the shirt a sturdy finish for everyday wear.
Fit and Sizing
Sizes run from Small to 3X-Large. Check the size chart and compare its measurements with a tee you already reach for. Because pigment-dyed color is applied to the finished garment, each shirt has its own subtle variations in tone, which is part of the charm.
How to Wear It
Pair the tee with board shorts and sandals for a day at Poʻipū, or layer it under an open button-up on cooler evenings in Hanalei. It also works with worn-in jeans for a relaxed look that carries from the beach to the car and on to dinner.
Care
Follow the care label inside the shirt. Washing inside out in cool water and air drying will help the pigment dyed color keep its soft, faded character for many seasons.
