Covid has upended life as we lived it. Changing our attitudes and ways. I seriously committed this year to "shop local." You should too. Went to SZD website, registered then perused the most beautiful selections. By the way by registering you are updated almost daily if not weekly of the selective beautiful items that become available in limited supply and sizes. So I shopped and bought. Easy to do. You are able to "curbside pick up" using Covid protocols they instruct you. Or you can have your items shipped to you. They have specials on that because of the holidays. I had a problem with one of my items on delivery. I emailed their website also called and left a short message. My call was returned in a timely manner by a very polite and helpful person. My issue was resolved right away, I was satisfied. Easy. Just a side note, I have cleaned out my closets many, many times over the years. But the items that are still held dear are my SZD items. They are still beautiful and wearable. I also shopped online with their other business Paliku Surf. Some of Paliku Surf items are on SZD website too. "Shop local everyone!" read more

I went nuts once in this store and bought 3 dresses. I don't regret it one bit and rotate them for Aloha Fridays. His patterns are so stylish that you could actually wear them outside of Hawaii and not get funny looks. read more

I own several items of clothing from Sig Zane and I really, really want to love them, but I just can't. The brick & mortar store in downtown Hilo is a must visit every time I go to Hilo, but I just can't get excited about their women's clothes. 1) I wear a size medium, have an hourglass figure, and their clothes never seem to fit right - always too tight around the bust and hips and way too big around the waist. I've heard that Sig prides himself on creating clothing for Hawaiian women who may not be "supermodel thin." That's great, but it seems as if his clothing will only fit you if you are built straight up and down. I'm used to mainland designers like J. Crew designing for women that are basically built like little boys, but this is a Hawaiian designer who's supposed to be designing for Hawaiian women. C'mon! If you are at all curvy (meaning you have waist to bust and waist to hip ratios less than 1 and not aren't just thin or big all over), don't even think about it unless you're willing to go to a tailor. I'm extremely frustrated by this issue - can you tell? 2) There's something odd about the fabric. It's feels very thick and stiff, doesn't really "drape" well, and doesn't breathe very well in the humidity. The labels say that their clothing is 100% cotton (except for a few items that are done in linen), but it feels almost like the kind of material you would make a thick tablecloth out of. I don't know. It's really difficult to describe. This brand is favored by hula dancers and while the dresses look lovely while standing still I find them very difficult to dance in just because they don't move with my body. 3) The online selection is terrible, which bums me out since I'm currently finishing my PhD in Boston and don't get to Hilo very often anymore. The two stars are for amazing prints that are beautiful to both look at and think about and how amazing their aloha shirts look on a handsome Kanaka man! read more

Stopped by this store on a trip to the Big Island after I saw some really cute stuff on their website for kids. Ends up that some of their kids products on the website are no longer available?!?!?! And the few kids items they did have were not available in all sizes. Looked at some of the women's clothes- nothing you could really where on the mainland unless its aloha day at work. If you're in the neighborhood, it wouldn't hurt to stop by, but don't make a trip just for this place. read more

Aloha wear is like rodeo gear - both look cool in their element, but once removed look pretty lame. If you are going to buy one aloha shirt, and find yourself on the Big Island then consider Sig Zane. You may get more long term usability from his simple designs on solid backgrounds. However, if you are one of us working stiffs I can think of a lot of better uses for $110. Of course, if you are a Hawaii State politician you already have 5 of these as wearing $600 worth of cloth somehow makes you more authentic. read more

I was there last year November, I went back there a couple weeks ago and the store looked so empty. Yeah, EMPTY. What they had was exactly same dresses I tried on last year. I was so disappointed and asked if they close the business but the sales people said they won't. I couldn't find anything for my husband or myself. Just wasted of my time. I wanted 1 and half stars since the sales people were very polite, but I cannot give 2 stars so I ended up with a star. read more

Sig Zane is my favorite designer and I have many items in my closet. Every time I am in Hilo I go into the store. On my last 2 visits to the store my experience shopping was noticeably different in that I was ignored and offered no help despite at least 2 sales people and an empty store. On all of my prior occasions I received lots of assistance, for example different styles, sized and colors were brought to my dressing room and I happily purchased items. The last 2 visits I helped myself, was offered no sales assistance and left empty handed. Please consider hiring some helpful staff or I am going to stop shopping Sig Zane in Hilo. read more

seems so much more high end than reyns but prices are about the same. the store was very nice - had lotsa selection. really the designs are unique, beautiful - the fabrics are soft and high quality. read more

Sig Zane is one of my favorite stores for Aloha attire. The prints on the clothing is special and each print has its own story. It's exciting to ask a salesperson to tell you about the print and what may have inspired them to create the print. Yes, it's pricey, but for the quality of the clothing and fit, it's well worth it. The dresses and tops fit my body perfectly, even after I wash it! Unlike other brands you don't have to worry about shrinking or taking it to be dry cleaned to avoid shrinkage. People always get compliments when they wear Sig Zane. read more

This place is always nice to visit. Can't always buy a clothes every time but it's always fun to try things on. The staff is very helpful with anything you need. They are very very nice when returning a gift that's may be more then 90 days out. The designs are very nice and they have a rainbow of colors. If you want a good quality made aloha shirt this is one to always have in your closet. read more

I love Sig Zane's clothing and items, the perfect mixture of art, culture, class and style. He takes old Hawaii and art and creates beautiful clothing that stand out. You know a Sig piece when you see it. The men's linen shirts when they have them in are perfect for Hawaii weather. The dress pattern art does sometimes wear off where your purse rubs, but once it does you get to have guilt-free shopping to replace it, I mean c'mon now you NEED a new one :) read more

The designs, colors, and cut is, as most reviewers have written, unique, comprehensive, and generous, respectively. However, one improvement that would significantly improve the label is use of a blended fabric or non-wrinkle type material. I wear apperal by Sig on a nearly daily basis for work and HATE to iron/dry clean the wrinkles after washing and drying on the line. read more

Sig Zane another Hilo exclusive. Cool designs, unique and expensive. Elegant atmosphere and the workers are very nice!! Go get some aloha shirts! read more

I love this store. I work a few minutes away and I can't get enough of it. Although due to the price I only can afford one a year. But it's all worth. Beautiful designs if you can get them before they sell out to other people. It does run a little small for women but guys last I bought one for my husband it ran one size bigger. They last a long time. I have dresses from several years ago. It's too bad my daughter keeps out growing hers so fast, she can only wear them for a few months. Customer service is awesome! Everyone there is so friendly. By now they all know us by name so that's cool. Most of them are bilingual so it helps when the tourist come and speak another language. I still have a bag when he first designed the open leather trim bag. Still lasting, now if I could only get the rain to stop so I don't get it wet. LOL right stop raining in Hilo. read more

The condescending snob that 'helped' us typified this establishment. Overpriced and absolutely not worth it. I am certain that Zane purchased all the positive reviews. read more

Sig Zane was a fellow Pacific Handcrafter's Guild member many, many years ago. His designs have always been impressive - reflecting nature and the true essence of Hawaii. Sig's shop in Hilo is very unassuming on the outside but when you walk in, the décor is rich and breathtaking. My husband has purchased several shirts; pricey, but well worth it because the prints are unique and the quantities are limited. My only disappointment with his line of clothing is the lack of women's apparel. There are some dresses and tops, but I've never been able to find anything that grabbed me. I'm hoping that he'll produce a simple sleeveless shell one day. Something subtle and elegant, which will feature the mastery of his art. I'm also hoping that he'll bring back some of his original designs from 30 years ago. Maybe an anniversary limited edition series? We visit the shop whenever we're in Hilo so maybe one day I'll be pleasantly surprised. read more

Friendly staff who are eager to assist you with your needs. The quality of Sig Zane shirts are unmatched!

Not only does Sig zane create amazing aloha attire which I love to wear for work and leisure but his staff is simply wonderful. I have been a customer for more than two years and during 2015 I spoke with Hoku from the Hilo store who has been my source for new Sig zane shirts in my size each time new ones are released. She takes the extra effort to photograph the new arrivals and email the pictures to me so that I can select from the newest arrivals. Within 24 hours I can place my order over the phone and the shirts are at my doorstep within a few days after. She always has such aloha and professionalism in her voice and were I Sig Zane I'd give her a big raise in pay. She exemplifies the best in aloha and customer service just as sig Zane exemplifies the best in unique and limited edition aloha wear for men. Mahalo! read more

I am very disappointed with my order from Zig Zane Hilo Hawaii..listening to friends telling me how good they are and being from the island, I decided to support our local vendor..i ordered a blouse and two dresses. To my disappointment they sent me one wrong size dress and the other dress was not in stock..i sent back the wrong size dress for the right size and asked for a credit on the dress i didnt receive. Called the business a week later to confirm receipt of dress and to process my credit..i was told all is good dress receive credit receipt in the mail. Approximately 8 days later i get a call asking me to return the dress for credit. No dress received. To make a long story short, i finally get my dress with NO TAGS..No washing instructions, no fabric information, it was not even ironed. It looked like it came right off the sewing machine. I will buy my hawaiian clothing elsewhere and my disappointment will be noted to friends and family.. read more
