1990s - Koko Head Marine Tile Shirt – Made in Hawaii, XL

Bold yet refined, this heavyweight cotton shirt from Koko Head features a richly textured marine tile motif that evokes the energy of vintage Hawaiian block printing. Dolphins, sea turtles, and sharks leap across stylized rectangles, layered over a subtle palm frond background that adds dimension without overwhelming the print.

The natural cream base and washed indigo palette provide contrast for the forest green monstera leaves, creating an earthy yet aquatic feel. Cut from thick 100% cotton with a dry hand and reinforced single-needle seams, this shirt offers a sturdy, structured drape—ideal for collectors who value both craftsmanship and island heritage.

The camp collar keeps things relaxed, while the clear plastic buttons add a subtle vintage nod. A single patch pocket blends smoothly into the layout, perfectly aligned with the design. Made in Hawaii by Lola of Hawaii, this piece reflects authentic local manufacture, not mass-market reproduction.

An excellent survivor from the post-Golden Era of aloha wear, this shirt is highly wearable and collectible—especially in XL, where sizing is increasingly scarce in deadstock and vintage.

Don’t miss your chance to add this archive-worthy example of Hawaiian shirtmaking to your collection.
