Step into the golden age of island style with this authentic 1960s Iolani shirt, crafted in Hawaii from richly textured barkcloth. A striking fusion of atomic floral motifs and bold Polynesian-inspired panel patterns evokes a mid-century aesthetic that collectors covet.
Set against deep teal and indigo tones, oversized white blossoms burst with chartreuse and inky black centers - framed by rhythmic, geometric bands that create a mesmerizing vertical flow. The layout is off-center, enhancing the handmade, artful appeal. A rare welt pocket is cleanly inset on the chest, while the pattern match is intentionally unaligned - an idiosyncratic hallmark of true vintage.
Every detail exudes craftsmanship: single-stitch seams, a one-piece collar with crisp shaping, and gleaming inset metal-rimmed buttons that feel more tailored than tropical. The barkcloth itself is soft but substantial, with a textured weave that whispers of its era.
Tagged medium, this piece measures 21” pit-to-pit and 27” shoulder to hem - ideal for a modern trim fit or a cropped collector's display. In excellent pre-owned condition with no visible flaws, this shirt is a standout example of 60s-era island tailoring from one of Hawaii’s most respected heritage brands.
