1950s Alfred Shaheen Hawaiian shirt - Large
Tax included.
A gorgeous 1950s shirt from the man himself, Alfred Shaheen, in a rich aqua-teal green cotton. Handprinted in Hawaii, with coral fronds and blocks of black colour, and bright yellow tropical fish (the goofy looking ‘face on’ fish is my favourite). With button front, the selvedge names the print as “Reef Tapa” from 1958. Highly collectible and rarer size!
Chest of garment 50”, label notes size L
Mid shoulder to hem 28”
17.5” between shoulder seams
Presents well and very vibrant still! The only thing to note is it has at some point been taken in and let out again leaving lines of ghost stitch evidence at each side (this has left a few small areas of damage but falls on the underside of the sleeve so not very noticeable when worn! Do zoom pics)
