NATIVE HAWAIIAN DESIGN

The Fishing for the Ladies design originates from a playful ʻōlelo noʻeau (Hawaiian proverb). 

“Aia i ka huki kūmū.” 

“Gone to haul kūmū fish.” 

The story behind the proverb relates the kūmū (whitesaddle goatfish) to a beautiful woman. The proverb says you have, “gone to haul kūmū fish” and implies that you have “gone to get a woman.” Wear this shirt to subtly let the room know that you (the wearer) are interested in the ladies.

The kūmū (whitesaddle goatfish) is a highly prized reef fish for its sweet, rich flavor, tender texture and brilliant red color. It was so prized, in fact, that this fish was often reserved strictly for the aliʻi (chief) of the area.
