PONO’s original pocket tees feature local Hawaiian fabrics sewn on premium T-shirts. We select the very best patterns, which are only available in limited quantities in Hawaii. Once the fabric’s gone, we discontinue the shirts.

Kapa is a fabric that was made by Native Hawaiians and was based primarily on the creative combination of linear elements that cross and converge to form bold square, triangle, chevron patterns. Kapa was used primarily for clothing like the malo worn by men as a loincloth and the pāʻū worn by women as a wraparound. Kapa was also used for kīhei used over the shoulders. Other uses for kapa depended on caste and a person’s place in ancient Hawaiian society.
