Our Design and Fabrics


Kiholo Kai is committed to quality in construction, design, and fit.  Each shirt is carefully crafted in Hawai'i from with our island lifestyle designs and premium fabrications.

Designs -  Each design has a fun story.  From the story of the food brought over by the voyaging canoes to a whimsical look at a Hilo garden, we keep it personal and wearable.

Fabrications - All of our fabrications are cotton based.  

Our featured fabrication is Kiholo Kloth, our specialty 60% cotton 40% polyester blend fabric.  We've spent years perfecting Kiholo Kloth, and our blend is what we feel is the perfect balance for comfort, easy care, and longevity.  

If you explore our collection in detail, you will find some really unique offerings including:

Palaka Malana, or Modern Palaka. We've developed a special lightweight 100% cotton yarn dye that will be the coolest shirt in your closet.

Our Tropical Oxford is another expression of our "American Sportswear meets Hawaiian Lifestyle" philosophy: a supple yet robust Oxford cloth goes Hawaiian with a wearable palm print.
