From the black sand beaches of Honokalani and Punalu¹u, to the lava rocks of Kilauea – the color “black” is just as common-place in the Hawaiian Isles as it is anywhere else in the world. Simple, conservative and subtle – black goes with anything. It can be mysterious, sexy and sophisticated – which brings us to the proverbial axiom, “Black Is Beautiful”. Black can also convey negative connotations as well, it represents times of mourning or even rebellion – which makes it a balanced color. Under the cover of darkness (black skies) is when the (Huakai’ipo) Hawaiian Night Marchers made their nightly procession. This Ele’Ele pack is for you – the royalty that keep us going strong year after year.
Here is the rundown on this soon to be classic hat. There are two different styles: The Pride hat which features a raised embroidery Old Hawaiian Style “H” and The Warrior hat which features a raised embroidery stitching of the late, great “King Kamehameha.” Both hats come in an exclusive linen fabric (the same fabric used on some of the finest Italian suits), a satin lining on the inside of the hat that features a collage of ancient Hawaiian weapons, FITTED crest stitched on the back and the FITTED crown that rests on the right side of the hat. Along with the hat is a matching black t-shirt which features the same collage print of the Hawaiian warrior weapons (seen on the lining of the hat), printed on the front of the t-shirt in a black tonal print, and “Black Is Beautiful” across the back of the shirt – also in a tonal print.
The pack will be released at Fitted Hawaii this coming Saturday, September 29th. Phone orders are excepted as well as of 2PM.
Now check out detailed pictures of the caps and the t-shirt after the jump.
