What to know about Sun Surf
Sun Surf is the Hawaiian shirt label of Tokyo-based Toyo Enterprise, the heritage apparel group behind Sugar Cane, Buzz Rickson's, Tailor Toyo and Whitesville. Founded in the 1970s, it reproduces rayon aloha shirts from the 1930s-1950s golden age, working from an archive of thousands of collected vintage originals. Production relies on period techniques including discharge printing and overprinting on filament rayon to recreate original colours and pattern depth. The range extends to jackets, tees and artist collaborations, sold through specialist Japanese-Americana retailers worldwide.
