We needed a nice shirt for a luau that week, and read great things about this shop, so we drove all the way from Kailua-Kona to check them out. The womens' selection left a lot to be desired, but the shirts look great. read more

Sig Zane Designs - Accessories Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

I love Sig Zane shirts! I've bought shirts for my husband, son, future son-in-law and co-workers. I receive emails on latest arrivals, and the shirts sell out so fast. The material and sewing are top-notch. The shirts are one size larger than average brand, so my co-workers who normally wear x-large will fit large, and my son who normally wears a large fit the medium. I used to go to the downtown store with a co-worker but it is easier to order online. There are more sizes and designs on-line, and shipment is super fast! read more

Sig Zane Designs - The shirts are Kahanulaua'e Pullover Aloha Shirt Khaki, Aipononkamoku Button Up Aloha Shirt - Sea Mist, and White Ginger Blossom Button Up - Accessories Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

Amazing quality and original Aloha shirt designs. Made to wear wash and wear again. A good selection of women's clothing

Found the perfect shirt for a class reunion we are going too in June. The selection at the store in Hilo Hawaii was outstanding.

Ordered a Aug Zane shirt. Color and print not great. I wanted to send it back but if you order from them you have to send back to Danang, Vietnam at your expense with original envelope ect So I'm done with him. Shirts are$145. They don't care about refunds. Never again will I order one read more

Awesome clothing designs hand made locally!! Great service, well worth the trip to Hilo from Kona. read more

We visited Sig Zane in Hilo, it's a beautiful store, the futures and dressing room. The employees were chill, not in your face, helpful and friendly. The selection of shirts had sizes up to 4X. It's definitely worth the visit for a well made designer aloha shirt. Women's selection was limited, but there were also accessories available, handbags, jewelry, and T-shirts. read more

It was my first time here and it was a nice experience. Very welcoming, open, clean, and comfortable. The workers were really nice and helpful. They knew each product very well. I was able to catch a quick glimpse of mr.zane himself, he seemed happy to see all the customers in the store. There is a lot of free parking around the building. You can tell the quality of the clothing is superb. The feel of the fabric feels beautiful. Now that i know which styles i fit, i can order more online. Definitely worth it. You should at least own one thing from the store. They have all kinds of sizes for men and women. They had these little cute bags and pareos too. read more

They have the most simple yet beautiful designs that I really appreciate. Quality of their cut and design is very apparent and worth the price. read more

Customer service here is great and the fresh designs are always welcomed. The shirts are not cheap but also understandable given that they do not mass produce the shirts. The quality of the shirts are nice but they are a little stiff and the sizes tend to run large. read more

The staff has all the pretense of a fifth avenue boutique but none of the quality. A sleeve had raw edges on a shirt I purchased and had to be completely removed and redeem. Fortunately for me, I have this skill set. Otherwise I would have thrown more money at a very overpriced shirt. There is the perception of quality but not the existence of quality. Sadly, we will not make a special trip to Hilo on our future vacations. read more

The designs are incredible. The staff is incredible too. The store is clean and amazing!

It's Sig Zane, what can I say. Quality Aloha shirts with the best reputation!! I have over 20 shirts and I Love them ALL!!

This is one of the places and that is unique to Hilo. Sig Zane is known for vibrant unique aloha shirts. I'm sure you must have seen guys wearing them at weddings, parties or to work. Many politicians and businessmen love to wear these iconic aloha shirts The store is right in downtown Hilo and absolutely gorgeous with their wood shelves and flooring. The workers here were very nice and even showed us new prints which weren't on the sales floor yet. They do have dresses and tops for women but they are more widely know for their aloha shirts. The aloha shirts are pricey and over $100 each. But there are a limited amount that are made and they are good quality. You see locals of all ages wearing these aloha shirts. The aloha shirts have an old school look yet trendy; somehow they seem timeless. Sig Zane himself chooses the designs and colors. It has a certain look, so you can spot these aloha shirts right away. If you can't get to Hilo, they have a website and a store in downtown on Oahu, Sig on Smith St. The Aloha shirts here are a little different, more contemporary aloha shirts. Kūha'o Zane (Sig's son), Director of Design and Marketing for Sig Zane/Founder of SigZaneKaiao runs this store and chooses the designs and colors. Every local in Hawaii has a Sig Zane. ******** When in Hilo town make sure you visit this store to get a Sig Zane read more

Most beautiful store and true Hawaiian designs and gorgeous materials. Hand made in Hilo!

Sig Zane Designs is perhaps the top Hawaiian apparel designer in Hawaii, PERIOD. His designs are inspired by nature and it's many treasures - flowers, ferns, sea creatures, trees, or historical places. Each design comes with a story about how he came up with the design (i.e., he describes the significance of the flower). He uses very standard colors (blacks, browns, blues) and doesn't hesitate using bright and vibrant colors (reds, oranges, teal blue, yellows) in his base colors and designs. The clothes are made with dyed 100% cotton, which make for a very comfortable and long lasting clothes. Sig Zane has been selling his line of Hawaiian clothes for over 25 years. He has become a national and international designer sensation. I went into the Hilo, HI store today and the place was flooded with guests from Japan and all across the US. Prices are on the high side, but I believe it matches the quality designs and product materials used to make the clothes. Ladies short dresses: $95 - $140. Men's Hawaiian shirts: $89 Ladies purses: $140+ Men's Tshirts: $36. If you are at the Hilo store, be sure to check out the back sale / clearance section. In most instances, there are XXL-4XL sized shirts and dresses at a 25-50% discount. You might get lucky finding a smaller size. Super huge kudos go to Ipo (Internet sales manager & distribution) and Emery. Both have helped me over the years and have been super friendly. I've purchased Sig Zane design clothes over the last 15+ years, and will continue to do so! Maika'i Loa! read more

Sig Zane, is the epitome of Hilo fashion designers and also a very pleasant man to be around. Come Merrie Monarch time (http://www.yelp.com/biz/merrie-monarch-festival-hilo-2 ), the city is all decked out in Sig's finest and his store is packed with wave upon wave of tourists, locals, and halau's alike. Simple, but using a variety of colorful dyes, Zane emphasizes the plain beauty of the world around him. The store is elegantly designed with a rich wooden feel. It's in stark contrast to the outside Hilo waterfront which emanates an more small old town feel, but they work so well together. His men's shirts start around $80, but he has many online sales and at the back of his store is a clearance rack. He even had a new gradient color style dress which was completely striking, but unfortunately my girlfriends size was sold out. His employees are extremely helpful and easy to talk to. It's small town Hilo after all. If you had to pick one Aloha clothing to wear, this should be it. read more

Definitely cool designs in Hawaiian shirts and dresses, but the patterns that appealed to me in the women's styles weren't in the right sizes. Wasn't much of a choice in women's actually. Items were not cheap here, but I assume it's because this designer is a known commodity. I even saw him working in conjunction with Big Island Candies (one of his patterns was on one of their candy boxes). I wouldn't have minded putting up the money if I could have found something I liked. Unfortunately I was stymied several times by the selection. Too bad. read more

I have to update my review. What impressed me was their customer service. I have about 8 Sig Zane Aloha Shirts. I bought one about 3-4 months ago. I probably wore it about 3-4 times in that timeframe. Recently, after washing it I noticed that there was a small part near the neckline that was coming apart. It looked like a defective stitch or something. I called the store and talked to a nice lady. I told her what happened and she said to mail the shirt back and they would send me another shirt or a different shirt of my choice. Since I was going to Hilo, I told her I would stop by the store. I went today and I told the people working that I talked to a lady and told them what she said. They never argued or disagreed. They didn't even look at the shirt. They just wanted to make sure I was happy. A lot of stores would ask for the receipt or haggle with the customer. Instead, Sig Zane just wanted to make sure the customer was taken care of. This is how clothing stores should be. I am very happy, not only with the shirts I buy, but also awesome customer service. read more

My fave aloha shirts. Beautiful designs, meaningful, and of the highest quality. The core of my professional wardrobe. I acquired them about 10 years ago when they were very affordable. I'm sure they will last at least another 10. The bayfront shop is neat. Nice people. New designs are super cool. Hope to add another to the collection soon.... read more

Sig Zane Designs - my collection of older designs.... - Accessories Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

Love dropping by Sig Zane when I'm in Hilo. Clothing can seem a little pricey but it's worth it, and when you're walking down the street everyone knows it's a Sig Zane (at least in Hawaii). Only thing is womens selections (mostly referring to tops) can be more scarce than the men's. So if you're looking for a certain type of outfit, good to call ahead and see if they have it. read more

Sig Zane Designs - Nice new digs - Accessories Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

Amazing designs based on the leaves and other nature of Hawaii. Lots of bright colors as well as neutral shades. Men's shirts run to 3X. They are just starting to carry some larger sizes in women's attire. We happened to go in when they were having a sale on everything so that made buying some beautiful aloha shirts more doable - I think the regular price is $80. They are good quality for that price but still, ouch! They also have a website so if you are not lucky enough to find yourself in Hilo you still can check them out. read more

I'll admit, it took me a while to appreciate and jump on the Sig Zane train. For one, you can't deem this place as just an "aloha shirt" store. If you do then you're going to get sticker shock at the prices. If all you needed was a "nice" aloha shirt, you could go to Macy's and find something there. You come here looking for art on the canvas of clothing. Sometimes, simplicity is the hardest form to conquer and the easiest to overlook. This is what Sig Zane has mastered in terms of taking the natural elements of Hawaii and translating it into modern art. Wearable modern art. He's been doing it so long and does it so well that you can tell when other designers or clothing companies are trying to imitate his style. As they say, imitation is the highest form of flattery, so job well done Mr. Zane. Btw, side note, on one visit to the store last year, my family actually met Mr. Zane himself! He was super nice, friendly and really approachable. Very enthusiastic about his clothes and about my kids that were in there! Tips: If you see something you like, in your size just get it! Like all art pieces, they're made in limited quantities, so once it's gone, it's gone! read more

So many beautiful designs that I wanted to purchase but unfortunately don't even have size Large in stock. I even checked online and still couldn't find my size. They need to make more of the common sizes! read more

Sig Zane Designs - Sig Zane Aloha Shirt in Koa frame :-) - Accessories Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

I've never made it to the big Island, but it's already in my heart....or atleast I wear it that way. Thanks to Sig Zane. I was introduced to the style of Sig Zane by friends. If you're tired of the tired typical Hawaiian shirt, Sig Zane may be for you. The designs they offer are vibrant, unique, and Indigenous. Sig Zane is a Hawaiian Native-owned business, and many of the designs are Native-inspired. I've done my Sig Zane shopping online. Their website has several options for ya. Some of the shirts can be pricey, but they really are worth it. They sometimes have several pieces on sale as well. When you wear a Sig Zane garment, you are wearing art. read more

I wanted to send a Big Island friend in to the Hilo location for a gift of a custom tailored shirt as I had been told they made back in 2012. After 1 phone call to the Hilo location with a not-very-friendly man who basically just told me to email the website, and 3 emails later.... I finally got an emailed reply that they no longer make custom shirts as "their production has evolved over the years." To me this was a disappointing evolution. I guess they're too busy designing corporate logos now. Sig Zane has also opened a store location in Chinatown on Oahu but when I went to check it out in person, it was closed with no hours posted. I have heard it is open one day a week but... what day?? That information was not visible on the door. So, Reyn Spooner got my gift shirt money. At this point I feel very "3 stars" about Sig Zane, but am adding a 4th star for the fact that if I run across a Sig Zane shirt in a thrift shop, I still grab it and wear it proudly as a Hilo brand, even if it barely fits me (LOL) and despite the fact that the design is rarely matched across the front of the shirt (one of my pet peeves). However, if their goal as a business is to get people to pay full price in a retail location, they haven't gotten me on board yet. read more

Sig Zane embodies everything I love about the big island and Hilo. If you're going bring one trophy item back from Hawaii, make it a Sig Zane shirt! The staff is full of aloha -- friendly & knowledgeable. When my girlfriend asked a clerk about his fresh-flower lei, he said it was made from tahitian gardenias and then gave it to her! They told us about everything from the printing process to the ancient medicinal uses for the plant used for the design. Their men's aloha-wear is perfectly tailored; the prints are simple, tasteful and beautiful. Colors are bright and cheery, but nothing is gaudy. Everything in the store is made in Hawaii, and if you're lucky you'll meet Mr. Zane himself. read more

Flew over for work! Finished, rented a car and drove to SZD. Only to find out they were closed and renovating to accommodate customers. Oh well ‍ at least I got some Mochi!! read more

Sig Zane's shirts are great - beautiful and striking designs. The staff in the store is friendly and helpful and does not pressure you. They are expensive -- if you are going to be in Honolulu, I suggest not buying at the Sig Zane store but going to Bailey's on Kapahulu Ave. - a huge vintage aloha shirt store, with a pretty good selection of Sig Zane stuff at half the cost of what you would pay new. read more

Nothing says Hilo apparel than Sig Zane. The designs they offer are truly unique and offer a different aloha shirt that stands out and makes a statement. Is it more expensive, yes, but you get a high quality shirt with a truly unique print that makes it worth it. The store itself is somewhat off the beaten path, however it is Hilo..How far is anything really? The selection is the entire collection. So if it isn't available there, it isn't available period. Sig Zane offers a contemporary look to aloha shirts which are refreshing and attracts not only the younger crowds, but the older groups of businessmen. Sig Zane's looks are quintessentially Hawaii and more so Hilo. It is different, cool, and traditional all at the same time. If you ever want to spring for a nice aloha shirt. Check out Sig Zane. Oh, they also have a website you can order off of as well! read more

Absolutely beautiful store! It's like art and clothing in one! My husband has a few item and loves all of them! Yes it is pricey but the amount of work and background that goes into each design is totally worth a piece of art that will last a very long time! Not to mention made in, designed in, printed in Hawaii! The man that gave a bad review probably came in with a bad attitude and gave the sales staff a bad time. Everyone that works in the store is amazingly friendly and helpful! We've never had anything but good service! read more

The shirts are amazing. The colors and patterns so vibrant and full of mo'olelo. And the staff...simply delightful! read more

Sig Zane Designs - Accessories Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

If you are looking for an Aloha shirt that will get a lot of compliments, then Zig Zane is the place to get it from. They have a variety of unique dress shirts for both men and women. They are located in downtown Hilo off of Kamehameha Ave. near Cronies Restaurant. The shirts are made of the highest quality material, and you can tell when you try it on. There are so many beautiful colors and designs that are used in the shirts. To me that's what makes them stand out from other designers. When you see someone wearing a Sig Zane shirt you can tell that it's not just another Aloha shirt from a big store. I have a few of the shirts, and get lots of compliments whenever I wear them. The hard part is deciding what shirts to buy, when you go to the store. It's a better idea to just by at least two at a time, because you will go home and say I should have got that other print to. Many of the shirts are a one time limited print, so don't wait to buy the one you want. The prices are high for the shirts, but the quality is worth it. The store is small, but is set up very nice. The super friendly and helpful staff will make sure that you find what your looking for. Sig Zane Designs is the place to go for that one of a kind Aloha shirt! read more

Love this guy. Local and nature inspired aloha wear. Not your run of the mill aloha shirt, but one with spirit and designation. Be prepared to lay down some cash, but well worth the investment. Malama Pono! read more

Just back from the Big Island and on my first day I drove from Kohala to Hilo to see what was up at Sig's. This place is a real treat. Sig is a fascinating man and you'll be especially lucky if he happens to be around. Beautifully designed clothing made in Hawai'i. The materials are carefully and thoughtfully selected and hand silk screened using Sig's designs. The store is a treat to visit. On both recent visits there was a bowl of freshly cut gardenias making it smell like the paradise it is. read more

3/9/19 Ordered 2 shirts and a dress online. This is my 2nd time ordering from Hilo. Awesome service, ordered on Saturday, received in my office before lunch on Tuesday! Just a shout out to those in Hilo, awesome job! read more

Really loved this store. And it is the only one in Hawaii or elsewhere, as I understand. You can go online but that would take away from the experience of visiting the store. The sales clerk had a great understanding of the plant species that are used in the designs as each is clearly well thought-out and each has a deep significance to the designer and to the people of this place. The fabrics are hand-printed and the styles are very Hawaii. Very Hilo! I really wanted an item with the koa leaves print but they were sold out in my size. :( Very sad. You could say that each piece is a unique work of art. These very limited edition items are well worth the prices, which do not seem at all excessive to me all things considered. Oh yes, of course I made a purchase and I know I bought something more than just a couple pieces of clothing. read more

Hands down the best Aloha Shirts I have ever purchased. The are on the pricier side but well worth the value and investment. Sig and Kuha'o Zane take pride in what they do and it shows. Every design tells a story and every product made for a reason. Thier work can be seen in the designs at the Sheraton Kona Resort and Spa at Keauhou Bay, along with many other community based companies and organizations. read more

Stroll into the beautiful Bayfront store and pickup a classic style button-down shirt. Next thing you know everyone is hollering, "That shirt fits like a dream, where did you get it?" From the designer featured in the in-flight magazine, dats where. Zig Zow! Super aloha staff. I would be stoked to see some 3 piece suits. read more
