Boys' sizes here are numbered by age, which means they only fit for as long as the age lasts. After 28 years of selling boys' shirts we tell every customer the same thing: unless you are certain, take the next size larger. He grows into it by spring and you paid once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — 2, 4, 6, 8, 14, 18 (sizes reflect the boy's age)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e — Blue, Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — Nui Nalu, made in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are average boys' sizes keyed to age, not to a chest measurement — a 6 is cut for a six-year-old. They are not cut small. The reason we push the larger size is growth, not sizing. If your boy is at the top end of his age or shot up over the winter, move up a size without hesitating. Note that the run jumps from 8 to 14, so there is no 10 or 12 in this shirt; for a boy in between, the 14 is the one to take and it will sit long on him at first. Cotton has a little more body than rayon, so it stands away from the skin instead of clinging on a hot day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuaus, beach vacations, family portraits, cruise dinners where the dining room asks for a collar, church on a warm morning, and school Hawaiian day.

Cotton will tighten up slightly on a hot wash and a hot dryer, which is one more argument for buying the larger size. A warm iron on the collar and placket is all it needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelling Hawaiian clothing from our Maui showroom since 1998 — 28 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe have fitted a lot of boys, and we say plainly when to size up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCall us before you order and a person picks up to talk sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
