Summer of 1983, I was lucky enough to go to the South Shore of Oahu for a couple of weeks with my friend, Kurt, for our HS graduation. It was the first real surf trip for me and at 17, I knew that this would not be my last. The first thing Kurt and I did was find a 7-11 and buy some chalk and a Bic pen. Back then, driver's licenses were paper and it took very little time to chalk out one of the numbers on our birthday year and change it to something that instantly made us older, which now allowed us to have a beverage at the local watering hole.
Each morning, we walked through Waikiki en route to a park, right in front of Kaiser's and Ala Moana. The surf was firing and being out there to see Montgomerey Kaluhiokalani, a.k.a. "Buttons", was 100% awesome. I had cut outs from Surfer magazine on my wall of him at home and to see him bust the doors down in 1983 was a sight I will not soon forget. On the beach, Buttons kept the party going as we just stood off in the distance soaking up every joke and pop top of the next Primo beer.
These sweaters are the opposite of what Hawaiians have in their closet, but going against the grain is a necessary lesson, just as my favorite surfer did in the 80's. Pushing forward, letting the past be the past.
With that, we want to offer our wool sweaters to you. There is a classic crew neck along with a turtleneck. The yarns hail from Australia and these are knit in Japan.
Cheers ya'll,

I’ve been eyeing this sweater since it dropped. Couldn’t believe it when I got it as a birthday gift. It’s so damn good. Has amazing hand feel, stretches easily to accommodate a layer, breathes really well, and looks money!! So stoked.
I bought this sweater recently and wear it a lot. The wool is sturdy and warm. Has a nice soft, resilient feel, not too heavy, not scratchy at all. Looks great. I like "wear-everywhere" types of clothes. This is solid enough to be an outdoors sweater for hiking, but looks nice enough to wear to church. For size, Medium fit me perfectly (I'm a thin 5-11, under 140 lbs, but it's roomy enough that bulkier guys would be fine at that size).
