KAMEHAMEHA
The Kamehameha Garment Company was set up by Herbert Briner (said to be the founder of Hawaiian ready-to-wear) in 1936 and was run from a garment production facility that had previously produced uniforms.
The name comes from King Kamehameha I who was responsible for uniting Hawaii’s islands. The company is particularly famous for its Aloha shirts as well as its tropical flower patterned cotton clothing (featuring sarongs, full skirted dresses, sun and swimsuits) for women.
