1980s Kalakaua Scenic “Aloha Vocabulary” Shirt – Blue Rayon with Coconut Buttons (L)

This soft rayon beauty from Kalakaua is a wearable lexicon of island life—an educational feast of motifs and movement, all set against a soothing mid-blue canvas. Scattered across the shirt in playful script are classic Hawaiian words like “Hula,” “Waikiki,” “Torchfisher,” “Lei Lady,” and “Outrigger,” each paired with its vibrant illustration: hula dancers swaying beneath palm trees, outrigger canoes slicing through the surf, and pineapples bursting with tropical charm.

Crafted in the USA by Fergy Inc. (RN 112215), this piece features all the hallmarks of a high-quality 1980s build: a crisply tailored camp collar, single-stitch construction, coconut shell buttons, and a precisely aligned patch pocket. The fabric itself is soft, breathable rayon with a flowing drape—ideal for collectors who appreciate comfort and authenticity.

The motif placement is off-centered for a natural, organic feel, with balanced repeat spacing across the front and back. A hidden loop closure at the collar adds subtle vintage charm. This shirt is in excellent pre-owned condition, with no visible flaws or discoloration.

Highly collectible and rarely offered in this condition, especially with print-matched details and authentic Hawaiian provenance.
