1980s Red Barkcloth Floral Shirt – White & Black Hibiscus on Crimson Ground (M)

This bold barkcloth beauty channels the fearless energy of the 1980s with oversized hibiscus and plumeria blooms stamped in high-contrast black and white against a rich crimson backdrop. The fabric is a standout—thick, textured cotton barkcloth with an almost canvas-like weight that drapes with structure and presence.

Hand-drawn motifs—swirls, leaves, geometric blocks, and Polynesian-style framing—infuse the print with graphic punch, while the saturated red ground gives it heat and depth. Details include a classic camp collar, clean single-stitch construction, and a welt pocket that slightly breaks pattern alignment, adding to the authentic handmade vibe. Black plastic buttons offer a subtle modern contrast.

This shirt has no visible brand or label, but the print and build quality point to a small-run or lesser-known maker—making it a compelling pick for collectors and vintage heads looking for harder-to-find originals that aren’t already in every curated rack.

An exceptional survivor in excellent condition, this shirt is highly collectible and rarely offered in this palette and print scale.
