A bold testament to vintage island artistry, this 1970s Penny’s Hawaii button-up delivers a graphic punch with its stylized tribal bird motif and oversized botanical print in rich olive green. Printed on a thick, natural-toned slub cotton-poly blend, the design draws from traditional Polynesian tapa aesthetics—featuring geometric plumage, swooping bird figures, and blocky florals that wrap across the entire shirt.
This shirt’s texture adds depth and dimension to the already striking design, while details like horizontal buttonholes, a camp collar, and crisp white buttons offer a nod to classic aloha tailoring. The patch pocket is set off-center and not aligned to the print—a hallmark of authentic mid-century production.
Made for Penny’s Hawaii, this piece represents the intersection of department store accessibility and genuine local design during the golden age of Hawaiian shirt manufacturing. With its thick weave, tribal symbolism, and XL sizing, it’s an exceptional survivor from the era—perfect for collectors and style-forward wearers alike.
Seldom seen today in this size and condition, especially with such sharp visual contrast and fabric presence.
