Maile Black Aloha Shirt by David Shepard
THE STORY BEHIND THE HAND-DRAWN DESIGN
Maile—one of Hawai'i's most sacred native vines—inspired this hand-drawn design. Its delicate fragrance and ceremonial significance make it precious, yet maile groves face real threats from over-harvesting and environmental change. By wearing this shirt, you're supporting responsible stewardship practices that keep maile thriving for generations to come. Every detail reflects that commitment. Crafted entirely in Hawai'i from 100% cotton poplin, this shirt feels as good as it looks—soft, breathable, and built to last. Real coconut buttons, a print-matched chest pocket, and a reinforced collar button showcase the care woven into every seam. The hand-drawn pattern captures the spirit of the maile vine while honoring the interconnected forest ecosystem it depends on—including the native 'alalā crow, whose reintroduction efforts mirror our own dedication to restoration. Limited quantity. Made in Hawai'i. A shirt with purpose.
