seaweed (pua o ke kai) women's tee- faded black

a premium heavyweight tee where seaweed becomes a state of mind. pua o ke kai, the flower of the sea, drifting up the water column with her eyes closed and not one care left to give.

in the front and center is a sea goddess in an elevated state, rendered in gold leaf and ink, her hair coming apart into limu and pakalolo, framed by two panels of psychedelic island art nouveau in rust, deep ocean blue, and ember orange.

this features the men’s relaxed fit tee styled on a woman.

design notes: a feminine figure rising out of a single strand of seaweed, hair becoming limu, frond becoming pakololo, the ambiguity is the whole point. swirling currents pull from art nouveau and old psychedelic poster work, gold against black against ocean color. an elevated, unbothered serenity runs through the piece, dignified and quiet, never loud. clean from a distance, weirder and more rewarding the closer you get. finished with the kailua hi woven sleeve label. what she is the flower of is yours to decide.

100% carded cotton, 7.1 oz heavyweight, 16-singles, garment dyed for a faded, lived-in finish. soft but substantial, broken in from the first wear. the faded black gives the print that washed, already-loved look, like a shirt you have owned for years and only just found again.

men's boxy oversized fit, with a body cut roughly 2 inches shorter than our standard heavy tee, so it sits square and a little cropped. dropped shoulders, wide neck ribbing with twin stitching, side seamed with shoulder to shoulder tape, preshrunk to hold its shape. take your usual size for an oversized fit, size down to bring it closer to a more standard women's fit.
