Island Tikis in Soft, Sun-Faded Colors
Tikis have watched over Hawaiian gardens, lanais, and roadside stands for generations. These carved figures stand for strength and protection in Polynesian tradition, and they remain a favorite symbol of island life. The Koloa Tikis Pigment Dye T-Shirt brings that look to a tee with a washed-in, lived-in feel from the first day you wear it.
Koloa Surf Co is a Kauai brand, and pigment dye is a natural fit for the island. The soft, faded colors recall sun-bleached boards, sea glass, and old aloha shirts. Whether you pick Seafoam for the water, Banana for the sunshine, or Washed Denim for something quieter, each shade has a laid-back personality. Each shirt is printed by Joe's own crew.
The look is casual and a little vintage, perfect for a backyard luau, a tiki bar night, a farmers market, or a weekend away.

Fit and Sizing
Pick your usual size for a classic fit, or go up one size for a looser, more relaxed look. The Koloa size chart lists measurements so you can compare against a tee you already own. Taller and larger customers can visit our big and tall surf apparel page to see how to find a good fit in extended sizes.
How to Wear It
Wear it with board shorts and sandals for the beach, or with jeans and canvas shoes for a night out. Lighter shades like Ivory and Banana look great against a tan, while Chambray and Washed Denim pair easily with khaki shorts. Because the fabric is garment-dyed, it has a broken-in look that suits a casual island wardrobe.
Care
Check the care label for the washing directions that apply to your color. Washing garment-dyed pieces with similar colors and turning a printed tee inside out helps it keep its look.
