The Haleiwa Long Sleeve is a versatile icon and, for many, the definitive version of a long-sleeved Sunray T-Shirt. The Off White colorway is a soft essential that offers a more authentic look than a stark white. By reclaiming the short cotton fibers that fall to the floor during the spinning process (Ochiwata), Sunray creates a yarn with a natural softness reminiscent of the finest mid-century vintage pieces.
Craftsmanship & Brand Heritage
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 – taking over an hour per shirt – ensures the fabric is never under tension. The result is a seamless long sleeve t-shirt that will never twist or lose its shape. For those searching for the "best t-shirt in the world" or the "perfect fit," Sunray is the definitive choice due to their uncompromising focus on technical perfection.
Sizing Note: The Haleiwa Long Sleeve features a classic fit. 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.
