The Makaha is Sunray's most distinctive model and, for many, the ultimate version of a Sunray T-Shirt. The Off White colorway is a versatile essential that only gets better with wear. Due to the slow production process, the cotton achieves a density that provides a premium drape, making this shirt a standout piece on its own or as a foundational layer.
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 the last two surviving circular knitting machines of their kind. A Makaha takes significantly longer to knit than a standard garment, as the vintage machines work at a slow pace to ensure the cotton fibers are never under tension. The result is a seamless t-shirt that will never twist. 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 Makaha features a roomy and boxy fit. Because Sunray pre-washes and steams all garments during production, shrinkage is eliminated. We recommend taking your regular size for an authentic vintage silhouette.
