Palaka is a fabric rich in history and tradition, characterized by its distinctive plaid and cross-striped pattern. Originally introduced in the 1920s, Palaka quickly became a staple due to its strength, durability, and breathability - perfect for plantation workers in the tropical heat.
Over time, Palaka evolved beyond its utilitarian roots to symbolize Hawaiian culture and heritage. Wearing Palaka is more than just a fashion choice; it's a tribute to the hardworking people and an appreciation of the Kama’aina style that embraces comfort, practicality, and a deep respect for the land and its people.
Today, Palaka remains popular in Hawai’i, cherished not only for its functionality but also for the sense of community and history it embodies. When you wear Palaka, you honor a tradition that spans generations, celebrating the unique blend of resilience and style that defines the aloha spirit.
Understanding the correct sizing for apparel is crucial for ensuring comfort and fit. The following sizing chart provides detailed measurements for each size category, allowing customers to make informed decisions when selecting their garments. The measurements are based on elastic waistbands, hip circumference, inseam length, and side seam length. Please refer to the table below for specific dimensions.
| Size | Waist (Elastic) | Hip | Inseam | Side Seam |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 28” - 38” | 43" | 7.5" | 17" |

It is recommended to measure your body accurately before selecting a size. To measure your waist, use a flexible measuring tape around the narrowest part of your waist. For hip measurement, wrap the tape around the fullest part of your hips. The inseam should be measured from the top of your inner thigh down to your ankle. Finally, the side seam length is measured from the top of the waistband to the bottom of the garment. These measurements will assist in determining the most suitable size for your needs.
