Tongan Islands Batik Shirt

Circa 2004: It’s August, the dead of winter on Tonga, and a southerly breeze has dropped the late afternoon temperature to around 75. Floating off the coast of Ha’apai, it’s just you and a boatman to watch the sunset—a brilliant, South Pacific version of the northern lights. Your Tongan Islands Shirt captures the moment quite well: deep-sea blue, kava and lime tones batik-printed on breezy 100% rayon. Short sleeves, shirttail hem. Coconut buttons. Classic fit. Machine wash. Imported.
