NEW! Fitted Hawaii “Culture Against Man” x Kamehameha

This Saturday’s Fitted Hawaii release takes a bold stance with the ideology of the Native Hawaiian people. This release, called “Culture Against Man,” puts the emphasis on the ways and important people of the indigenous Hawaiian culture. This shirt represents the struggle to be understood and the oppression the Hawaiians felt under the rule of European explorers.

The shirt’s graphic depicts that and outlines USA with the Stars and Stripes in the middle of the graphic. The shirt also features a tonal black crown on the back.

The hat being released alongside this shirt is a very simple, yet powerful Kamehameha. All black body, white logos, red button. Simple, yet bold.

These pieces release this Saturday at the Kona St. headquarters.
