“Spiral Sage” Sonoran Shirt
– COMING SOON!

Description

Available Friday, May 15 at 6:00 p.m. Phoenix time (currently MST)!

Will show as “Sold Out!” until stock is added.

The Sonoran Shirt returns with Spiral Sage. Inspired by the ancient spiral petroglyphs carved into stone by the ancestral Hohokam, it blends warm sandstone tones with muted sage greens drawn from the Sonoran Desert landscape, accented with earthy copper stitching and weathered desert hues.

Spiral Sage features a contrasting and disruptive pattern that assists in concealed carry by breaking up the visual “printing” of belt-mounted gear underneath it.

Details include:

• Double chest pockets with pocket-in-pocket organization inside of both.
• Annoyance-free collar; branding and size tag on the inside bottom placket.
• Sized slightly larger (+1″ girth) and longer (+1/2″ length) than typical shirts for enhanced CCW use.
• 100% cotton
• Made in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
• Limited edition

Ancient Spirals of the Sonoran Desert

Long before modern cities rose from the Arizona desert, the ancestral Hohokam flourished across the Sonoran Basin, building vast canal systems and leaving behind enduring symbols etched into stone. Among their most recognizable designs are spiral petroglyphs — flowing geometric forms believed to represent journeys, water, cycles of life, celestial movement, or spiritual pathways through the desert world.

Scattered across canyon walls and volcanic rock throughout southern Arizona, these spirals remain some of the Southwest’s most iconic and mysterious expressions of ancient artistry. Spiral Sage draws from these timeless desert markings, echoing the textures of sunlit sandstone, sagebrush, and the long shadows cast across the Sonoran wilderness at dusk.

The Sonoran Shirt Story

From the vision of our founder Ralph Holzhaus, a quality Hawaiian shirt fan, our premium Sonoran Shirt line combines islands style with a Southwestern flavor that has been largely missing from the concealed carry world. Meant to be a truly low-profile concealment garment, its attributes are subtle.

Our Gen. II Sonoran Shirt evolved with fresh patterns and updated pockets featuring an organizer inner-pocket that keeps items separated and prevents the outer pocket from bagging out. The bisected, flat organizer pockets are perfect for pens, business cards, even small flashlights. The standard full-sized pockets are still available for envelopes, notepads, etc.

Cut slightly larger at the waist (1″ extra girth) and longer (1/2″) than most Hawaiian-style shirts, the Sonoran Shirt will cover most belt holsters. Even if you don’t carry a gun on the waist, modern living has added everything from smartphones, multitools, sheath knives, and even trauma medicine supplies to our waistline. Many people have found the larger cut works just as well for these lifetools as well.

Twin shirt pockets allow the contents of the two sides of the shirt to be balanced if worn as an open-front covering garment with a tanktop or t-shirt. We opted not to use vents on the sides of the shirt due to the risk of exposure or entanglement of weapons that we have experienced in the past with those designs.

Ever get annoyed by the tag in the collar of your shirts? We did too, and solved it by placing our maker and care tags at the bottom of the buttonhole placket.

Limited runs of various prints ensure that our shirts will be hard to identify as covering garments. We have a few rules for deciding what makes a pattern suitable for a Sonoran Shirt. We prefer a design that aids in breaking up any “printing” from a concealed handgun or magazines. However, our patterns are also chosen to reflect the flora, fauna, landscape, and culture of the beautiful Sonoran region, including the Baja California Peninsula and the Sea of Cortes. If it is native or imported to the Sonoran Desert (central & southern Arizona and northern Mexico) and lives or grows here (including our many lakes) it’s fair game to show up on our shirts! Really, they aren’t so much rules as guidelines.

Made in the U.S.A. in our own production shop (yes, we do make them right here in Phoenix, our little corner of the Sonoran Desert). While these are generously cut (1″ added girth, 1/2″ added length), we still recommend ordering your regular size. High-quality 100% cotton construction unless otherwise noted. Cold wash, cool iron; some shrinkage may occur.

Whether it’s camping or casual Fridays, tactical pants or Dockers, the Sonoran Shirt will keep you cool, stylish, and under the radar.
