Step into a vibrant shoreline fantasy with this rare Made in Japan rayon shirt, a stunning artifact of 1960s aloha style. The print is pure escapism: canoes glide across a still lagoon, palm trees sway under cotton candy skies, and hula dancers gather near the water’s edge. The palette blends tropical blues, sun-washed reds, and earthy browns to create a visual rhythm that feels like a lost mural of midcentury paradise.
Crafted from 100% rayon with a soft, flowing drape, this shirt was manufactured in Japan for Sun-Glo Products Co. of Florida - a now-defunct importer known for high-quality aloha wear during the 1960s tiki boom. The fabric carries the period’s telltale sheen and slight texture, with a bright screen print that’s as bold today as it was six decades ago. It features a camp collar, five white plastic buttons, and a single patch pocket with unaligned print (a minor production trait that adds to its authenticity).
Subtle signs of age only heighten its appeal - this piece wears its vintage proudly. With a chest width of 21" and length of 25", it's best suited to a modern size Small–Medium fit.
This is the kind of shirt serious collectors covet - not just for its origin or age, but because scenes like these don’t come around twice.
Don’t miss your chance to own a true piece of midcentury island art.
