Aloha, everyone! Long-sleeve Aloha shirts have just arrived from EANBE!
You might think I’m getting a little carried away... and you’d be right. I am.
Since Aloha shirts originated in Hawaii, they’re synonymous with tropical resort vibes, and you can’t help but think of them as short-sleeved. But you know, they do actually come in long sleeves. That holds true for EANBE, the brand we started carrying at Circles for the first time this past summer.
The short-sleeve versions were so popular that they sold out while I was still debating which one to get, so I missed out on wearing them this summer—but with the arrival of the long-sleeve versions, I think I’ve finally found my chance at redemption.
EANBE, which promotes a "Tropical City Pop" aesthetic, features designs themed around "music," "sake," and "laughter"—all of which are uniquely excellent. Honestly, every pattern is so good that I’m having trouble choosing, but I need to be careful not to let them sell out again while I’m still dithering.
In any case, isn't it just wonderful that EANBE Aloha shirts can be worn even outside of summer? You can’t blame me for being excited. Plus, I’ve had a few drinks, so I’m in a great mood! Getting to shoot these photos with my wife has me feeling pretty giddy!
If you look closely at my face, you can tell it's red, right? That’s because these were taken after enjoying some delicious wine and food at an event held at Aliba, where we hosted DRUM from Fukiage.
And my dopamine is flowing, it’s overflowing, excuse me. Anyway, now that I’ve let my inner voice out, my mission here is complete. Let’s go get some sushi!

"Bringing 'ii anbee' into everyday life"
"Ii anbee" is an Okinawan dialect phrase used when you're in a good mood. Whether you're drinking, traveling, going out for fun, or on a date with that special someone—putting on an Aloha shirt just makes you feel a little bit better. EANBE is a brand that stays by your side for those moments. We hope your every day is filled with "ii anbee" vibes.
” ABOUT EANBE ALOHA “
For our Aloha shirts, EANBE carefully selects the most suitable fabric for each design. The main material used is rayon, commonly found in standard Aloha shirts. Rayon, meaning "shining thread," is characterized by its strong luster and soft texture.
We also use Tencel (Lyocell), which has a soft feel and beautiful luster, along with excellent moisture absorption and quick-drying properties. Known as "a fiber produced by the most environmentally friendly method in the world," it is recognized as a sustainable material. We carefully select the best fabrics from these two options to create our shirts.
To beautifully express complex patterns, our shirt prints are dyed in domestic factories using a technique called "hand-捺染 (hand-screen printing)." This is a method where artisans carefully dye the fabric one color at a time by hand, allowing for high pattern reproduction and the expression of delicate hues.
The fabric is then sewn item by item by hand by Okinawan artisans to complete the garment, which is then delivered to you.
