Palm Grove Embroidered Short Sleeve Resort Hawaiian Shirt in Navy by Weekender

Born in the Caribbean and raised in Miami, FL, Weekender has been making casual + travel lifestyle sportswear since 1938. Our Caribbean and Florida heritage combined with our family bonds and time-tested history provide us with the inspiration to design one-of-a-kind styles with artisan craftsmanship.

We’re a proud 3rd generation family business. Frank is our Head Honcho. Frank's father Raul, a Polish National fled Nazi Germany in 1938 and landed penniless on the Caribbean island of Cuba. Without knowledge of the local customs or Spanish language, but a master tailor by trade, Raul helped pioneer the apparel manufacturing industry in Cuba.

In 1961, Raul’s life was again turned upside down when the communist government of Fidel Castro rose to power and expropriated all of Raul assets including his apparel manufacturing business. He fled the country to the U.S. along with 31 family members and the shirt on his back. In 1963, without knowledge of the local customs or English language, Raul along with his son Frank launched the Weekender brand.

As a proud 3rd generation family-owned business, Weekender has become one of the nation’s leading casual + travel lifestyle sportswear brands.
