This 1960s Liberty House shirt is a masterclass in vintage Hawaiian textile design—crafted in soft cotton barkcloth and brought to life through a rich, tribal tapa-inspired print in chocolate brown, dark navy, and warm tan. The bold vertical striping and textured wave-like patterning are broken up by stylized botanical emblems, while a strip of symmetrical leaf blocks runs cleanly down the placket.
A detail that sets this piece apart: the original metal buttons—each embossed with a classical human profile, adding a unique, collectible accent to an already rare shirt. The patch pocket is expertly aligned with the body print, blending seamlessly into the geometric chaos.
Cut in a true 60s relaxed silhouette, the shirt features a wide camp collar and single-needle construction throughout. The cotton fabric has softened beautifully with time, offering a supple, breathable drape perfect for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
An exceptional survivor from the Liberty House archives, seldom seen in this size and condition.
