“The Eastern Hunter” - Version 35 of our Business Suit collection and Part 3 of our Hunting Suit series.
This edition features 10oz twill cotton pants and a 450gsm jacket, with single-needle embroidered Kalo (taro) leaves - a symbol deeply tied to Kaua’i - woven across the full twill cotton skirt.
The inspiration for this suit dates back to 2001 on the East side of Oʻahu. I was just a kid at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Kailua. Honestly, my dad had to drag me to class - all I wanted was to surf and skate. But he said, “One day you’re gonna get into a fight, and you better know Jiu Jitsu.”
My first Gi was a raw, unbleached Atama — the only kind Jason Izaguirre sold at the time. This suit is a tribute to that first step, and to the joy I feel watching my oldest son take his.
Jacket is made from a high-quality, pre-shrunk 450gram Pearl Weave 100% cotton material with a 10 oz. twill cotton skirt featuring single needle Kalo embroidery. It features a durable, rubberized, Ripstop collar with T3 stitching and branded taping inside lapel and cuffs.
Pants are made from an ultra-lightweight 10oz Twill Cotton with 6-point pant loop system and T3 stitching on all seams of pants and branded taping inside cuffs. Pre-shrunk to minimize shrinkage.
The entire inside of the suit including arms and legs feature TTWD screen printing throughout. Our signature Arm Bar logo is embroidered on sides of Jacket and Pants in a sky blue contrast thread. Each suit includes an Eastern camouflage transport bag equipped with a velcro seal and handle, designed after vintage Japanese rice bags.
For this release, we have also prepared a small batch of Kids Hunting Suits. Keep in mind that all designs and details remain the same on the kids versions but we’ve switched out the drawstring waistband for an elastic waistband for a more comfortable fit.
NOTES:
1) Size guide is approximated.
2) Our signature TTWD screen printing throughout all of our suits is not designed to last for the life of the suit. To increase the lifespan of the prints, wash suits in cold water and hang dry only.
