The Haleiwa T-Shirt is Sunray Sportswear's core essential and widely regarded as the brand's signature piece. Made in Japan on rare antique loopwheel knitting machines, each garment is produced in a small, family-run factory with over a century of expertise. The slow production method — taking more than an hour per T-shirt — ensures the fabric is knit without tension, resulting in a naturally stable structure that will not twist or lose its shape over time.

The fabric is a heavyweight 260gsm jersey made from 100% recycled "Ochiwata" cotton. This reclaimed cotton consists of short fibers recovered during the spinning process, re-spun into a uniquely textured yarn. The result is a slightly slubby, vintage-inspired surface with a soft, almost downy hand feel that continues to improve with wear.

Each T-shirt is pre-washed and steamed during production, ensuring a pre-stabilized fabric with a consistent fit and minimal to no shrinkage over time.

The Haleiwa features a classic, well-balanced fit — neither too slim nor too boxy — designed to sit naturally on the body. A reinforced "Strong Neck" double-rib collar ensures long-term durability and shape retention, while the tubular knit construction eliminates side seams for maximum comfort.

Timeless, versatile, and built to last, the Haleiwa is the result of Sunray's philosophy: combining British design sensibility with unmatched Japanese textile craftsmanship.

Fit Notes: This T-shirt fits true to size for a classic, balanced silhouette. As a reference, size 44 fits like a standard American Large, with 40 = S, 42 = M, 46 = XL, 48 = XXL. The fabric has been pre-washed and steamed, so minimal to no shrinkage is expected. As always, we strongly recommend checking our size chart and comparing it with your best-fitting T-shirt to ensure the right fit.
