A standout from Hawaii's golden age of aloha wear, this 1960s Surf Line shirt—made exclusively for Liberty House—is a rare heavyweight piece steeped in island history. Crafted from thick cotton with a dry, textured handfeel, it features an oversized tapa-inspired motif rendered in washed indigo against a natural ground. The bold, off-center print evokes tribal and barkcloth patterns while delivering a uniquely modern edge.
Cut in a classic boxy fit, the shirt is equipped with four front flap pockets—an uncommon and highly functional design element rarely seen in modern reproductions. Wooden buttons add natural charm, while the camp-style collar and single-needle stitching reflect quality construction of the period. A box pleat at the back adds subtle shaping and ease of movement, while a rear slit suggests a hybrid design with utilitarian intentions.
Though untagged for size, its generous cut (25.5" pit to pit) places it in the XL range. The pattern isn’t print-matched at the pocket panels—another hallmark of true vintage—offering authenticity over polish.
This is a hard-to-find original from a trusted Hawaiian retailer, and a collector’s gem that balances bold aesthetics with historical value.
