Style # 10-01 Pareau Print Surf Trunk

Vivid Colors

In Tahiti, the classic garment, for both men and women, is a piece of cloth with hand printed simple one or two color designs of traditional flowers or leaves. They fold it and wrap it around their bodies a zillion ways. I fell in love with the traditional artwork on these "pareaus" while on a surf trip there in 1978.

These trunks are made from traditional Tahitian pareau cloth.

We take printed 100 % cotton poplin and then back it with a layer of poly cotton solid white lining for strength and opacity. These are the kind of trunks you would've had custom made back in the sixties on a trip to the islands.

They feature real coconut buttons in the fly and on the pocket flap. That is the original traditional style of fly closure for real surf trunks.
