Frequently Asked Questions
What is terry cloth and why is it good for the beach?
Terry cloth is a soft, looped cotton fabric, the same family of fabric your favourite towel is made from. It’s super comfortable, fast-drying, and feels great against sun-warm skin.
Our terry pieces, dresses, polos, shorts, are designed to take you from the boat, to the beach, to the bar, without changing. They absorb water fast, dry on the walk back, and look intentional in a beach bar at sunset. Terry is one of the most versatile fabrics in resortwear, and it has personality, which is why we love it.
What’s the best men’s terry on the market?
HIHO’s men’s terry is, in our biased and well-earned opinion, the best on the market. Three reasons. The cloth: a soft, looped cotton terry that’s super comfortable on the skin, absorbs water fast, and dries faster. The cut: pieces designed for actual island life, the boat, the beach, the bar, not stylised vacation silhouettes that look great on a hanger and miss in real life. The longevity: our terry pieces are made to last, with reinforced stitching and weights that hold their shape after years of sand, salt and sun.
We have terry polos, shirts, shorts and pull-ons for men. The two things you’ll notice first: how soft they are, and how often you reach for them once they’re in the rotation.
