Early 1970s Sears Hawaii Floral Explosion Shirt – Lava Red with Tropical Hibiscus & Plumeria (L)

An exuberant burst of tropical color, this early 70s Sears Hawaii button-up channels the wild heart of vintage island style. Against a textured lava-red backdrop, massive yellow hibiscus flowers bloom alongside vivid blue and coral plumeria, layered with leafy green and deep chocolate foliage. The painterly print radiates heat, motion, and full-tilt 70s energy.

Made in the USA from soft cotton, this shirt features a wide camp collar, single-needle construction, and smooth plastic buttons. The welt chest pocket is subtly integrated into the chaos of the print, though the alignment is imperfect—a charming mark of its handmade nature. The overall design leans heavily into an off-center print style, enhancing its lively, spontaneous feel.

What truly sets this piece apart is its palette: the color saturation is bold and unrestrained, with zero fear of contrast. Shirts from the Sears Hawaii line aren’t often seen in this condition—especially in this large size and with such arresting colors intact.

Highly collectible and rarely offered in this size and condition—this is one of those rare finds that captures the explosive spirit of 1970s aloha wear.
