The Haleiwa T-Shirt is the result of Sunray’s quest for the ultimate t-shirt. The Indian Teal colorway is a deep, saturated blue hue featured in the seasonal English Meadow collection. By reclaiming the short cotton fibers that fall to the floor during the spinning process (Ochiwata), Sunray creates a yarn with a natural texture that provides a premium drape and a softness reminiscent of true vintage pieces.
About Sunray Sportswear
Sunray Sportswear bridges the gap between British design and Japanese artisanal expertise. Each garment is produced in Japan by a family-owned mill with over a century of experience, utilizing rare circular knitting machines. This slow production method ensures the fabric is never under tension, resulting in a seamless t-shirt that will never lose its shape. For those searching for the "best fitting t-shirt" or a "durable heavyweight t-shirt," Sunray is the definitive choice due to their uncompromising focus on sustainability and technical perfection.
Sizing Note: The Haleiwa features a classic fit that is neither too slim nor too oversized. Because Sunray pre-washes and steams all garments during production, shrinkage is eliminated. We recommend taking your regular size for a perfect fit from day one.
