A true nod to the modern tapa revival, this HRH (His Royal Highness) shirt from the 1990s blends Polynesian tradition with understated style. Featuring a centered all-over block print motif, the design showcases iconic Hawaiian elements like monstera leaves, plumeria blossoms, hibiscus, seashells, and sailboats—all framed in bold, ivory borders against a heathered indigo backdrop.
Cut from soft, breathable cotton with a slubbed texture, this piece has been pre-washed by time, giving it a worn-in ease without compromising structural integrity. The fit is gently relaxed, and the feel is lightweight yet substantial—perfect for collectors who appreciate authentic wear.
Coconut shell buttons run down the placket, adding rustic charm, while a square camp collar and single-needle stitching complete the vintage pedigree. The patch pocket offers utility, though its pattern misalignment marks it as hand-cut and truly vintage.
This piece shows minor cosmetic wear typical of its age, including faint fading and light seam softness, but remains structurally sound with no damage to note. With its rich indigo tone and cultural symbolism, this shirt stands as a hard-to-find original from the Aloha revival era—ideal for collectors seeking a quiet classic that still speaks volumes.
Don’t miss your chance to own this scarce HRH block print—an easygoing, archive-worthy example from one of Hawaii’s lesser-known cult labels.
