80s Paradise Found Macaw & Cockatoo Shirt – Teal Cotton with Bamboo Band (L)

Bursting with vibrant character, this 1980s Paradise Found button-up is a standout example from one of Hawaii’s most iconic aloha shirt makers. Crafted from soft, breathable 100% cotton, the saturated teal base plays host to a brilliant center band featuring scarlet macaws and white cockatoos perched amid bamboo fronds. The birds are rendered in vivid red, yellow, and black, capturing a playful yet refined tropical aesthetic.

This piece is a precision-balanced composition—note the perfectly matched pocket and the crisp centering of the print across both front and back. A classic camp collar and smooth coconut-style wood buttons underscore its vintage pedigree. Made in Hawaii and tagged by Linda Lee Atkinson (RN 54758), this shirt exemplifies the golden era of collectible islandwear, back when Paradise Found shirts were sewn domestically with a keen eye for design integrity.

The fabric has a soft hand with a light drape, ideal for warmer climates or layering. The single-needle stitching and clean seams point to quality construction rarely seen in modern casualwear.

In excellent pre-owned condition with no visible flaws—this is a highly collectible parrot motif that rarely surfaces in such vibrant shape or size.

Don’t miss this hard-to-find original from Paradise Found—an exceptional survivor of vintage island style.
