A tactile celebration of geography and heritage, this heavyweight cotton shirt by RJC (Robert J. Clancey Ltd) offers a full scenic print mapping the Hawaiian islands — from Niʻihau to the Big Island — across a nautical grid of compass points, ocean currents, pineapples, and ships.
The base is a deep navy, setting the stage for hand-drawn island shapes, palm trees, fish, surfers, and place names like Lahaina, Hilo, and Hana. “Map of Hawaiian Islands” is elegantly rendered in cursive across the chest, giving the shirt a museum-exhibit charm. The layout is slightly off-centered, lending a natural flow, while the patch pocket is expertly pattern-matched for seamless visual continuity.
Crafted from thick, durable cotton, the shirt features a sturdy camp collar and branded RJC buttons that underscore its authenticity. Condition is excellent pre-owned — color remains rich, print is crisp, and the fabric shows no visible damage or signs of over-wear.
This is an archive-worthy example from one of Hawaii’s most prolific shirtmakers. The map print remains a coveted sub-genre for collectors and is seldom seen today in this size and quality.
Don’t miss this rare chance to own a tangible piece of island cartography.
