1960s Pomare Tahiti Hibiscus Shirt – Red & White Barkcloth Cotton (L)

A bold, hibiscus-charged throwback from the golden age of islandwear, this 1960s Pomare Tahiti shirt radiates mid-century aloha with unapologetic heat. Cut from thick textured cotton barkcloth, the shirt showcases oversized white hibiscus blooms exploding across a fiery orange-red background, accented with vivid green pistils and scattered flower motifs in sharp black outline.

Crafted in Honolulu by Pomare Tahiti (RN 37145, Hilo Hattie), this shirt is a textbook example of the brand’s graphic intensity and durable construction. The barkcloth fabric offers rich texture and a heavier hand—perfect for collectors seeking substantial vintage builds. It features a classic camp collar, translucent plastic buttons, and a single patch pocket (unaligned), all stitched with a confident single seam.

The off-center print placement adds a spontaneous, vintage flair, while the saturated tones and crisp black outlines give this piece powerful visual punch. In excellent pre-owned condition, this shirt is a standout for both its preservation and presence.

An exceptional survivor from Hawaii’s mid-century style boom—highly collectible and rarely offered in this size and condition.
