1970s | Hawaiian Shirt | Scenic Print – XS/S

Description:

Item:
1970s short sleeve Hawaiian shirt in lightweight fabric with a bold full-coverage scenic print. Features classic open collar styling, button-through front, and chest pocket. The artwork combines ocean waves, tropical foliage, flowers, and rainbow detailing, creating a vivid, postcard-like composition that is instantly recognisable as seventies islandwear.

Era:
1970s

Brand:
Unbranded

Condition:
Good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age and use. Fabric remains strong, colours are bright, and the shirt retains excellent overall structure. Honest wear that adds authenticity without detracting from presentation.

Provenance Note:
This is classic 1970s Hawaiian styling, where the print did all the work. These shirts were about escapism and atmosphere, built to carry the feeling of sun, sea, and colour wherever they were worn. The large-scale scenic design and saturated palette reflect a time when Hawaiian shirts were expressive and unapologetically bold. It’s a perfect example of how seventies leisurewear leaned into optimism and visual impact rather than restraint.

Provenance Note:
This is the real thing. “Made in Hawaii” means it was produced at the source, not as a later imitation. Royal Hawaiian were part of the original lineage of aloha shirt manufacturing, creating garments intended for daily life in the islands, not costume or export novelty. The scale of the print, the intensity of colour, and the ease of the cut all come from that authenticity. Shirts like this don’t try to reference Hawaiian style, they are Hawaiian style, which is why they still carry such power and presence today.
