A palaka is a two-color yarn-dyed plaid, traditionally a combination of white with blue, brown, or red as the second color. Our Palaka "Nui" (meaning large/many/great) doubles the size of the plaid and combines at least two other colors - often a combination of traditional palaka colors. The fabric also is printed instead of yarn dyed, allowing for a relaxed, sun-faded look.

What is "Western Fit"?
Not too boxy and not too fitted. Designed to be worn untucked. If you're between sizes we recommend sizing up.
Find your perfect fit:
Chest:
The chest measurement is taken 1" below the armhole. Measure under your arm at the broadest part of your chest for a full chest measurement.
Neck:
Measure the circumference of your neck with at least two fingers of room. Round up to the nearest half inch.
Sleeve Length:
Measure from the base of neck at center point, where your collar meets the yoke, over the shoulder and down to the wrist.
