New Men's Iolani Sportswear Painted Turquoise Hawaiian Footprint Shirt–M, 1950s

About the Item

Long before the tiki craze hit its peak in the 1960s, Hawaiiana had already stormed the closets of suburbia. Thanks to the souvenirs brought back by servicemen stationed in Hawaii and the South Pacific, a lust for all things Polynesian saw the introduction of loud Hawaiian shirts into the wardrobes of otherwise subdued American men. With a Hawaiian fisherman motif on its front and a 12” hand-painted footprint on its back, this example ambiguously SHOUTS “relax.” Turquoise short sleeved button front shirt with point collar and left breast pocket; horizontal rear yoke and Eisenhower pleats at shoulders. Hand-painted silver fisherman, shack and footprint motif on front and oversized 12” footprint on reverse. 4 pearlized gray button front closure with hidden button and loop at throat; unlined. fabric: gently-textured poly cotton blend noteworthy: gently machine or hand wash in cool water; hang dry alterations: none condition: new/unworn measurements: collar: 2 ¾” at widest neckline opening: 5” (with throat button undone) shoulders: 18” sleeve: 9 ¼” from shoulder, 4 ¼” from underarm sleeve circumference: 15” at upper arm and mid-bicep chest: 45” max waist: 41 ½” length: 26” from shoulder, 27 ¾” from rear neck, 17 ¼” from underarm label: Iolani Sportswear (Hawaii) size: vintage size medium; comparable to modern size medium
