Our Tahitian Pareu is a lightweight shirt, tailored to fit with a western snap shirt style.

What is a Pareu Shirt?

"Pareu" is the Tahitian word for a lightweight printed cotton fabric that was first imported into Polynesia by the French during the early 1800s. During the 1930s, the motifs and colors of the pareu began to influence the prints being used in Hawaii for Aloha shirts. By the 1950s, the pareu print had become a distinct and very popular design style for the Aloha shirt.

Fit

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.
