Exceptional 1960s Surf Line Hawaii barkcloth Hawaiian shirt featuring a richly detailed novelty scenic print with island landscapes and architectural motifs. This is an authentic mid-century piece made from original cotton barkcloth, a textured fabric prized for its durability and distinctive hand.
Design details include guayabera-inspired flap pockets at the waist, flap chest pockets, epaulets at the shoulders, and a distinctive right sleeve utility slot, a functional feature found on select Hawaiian shirts of this era. Finished with a classic camp collar and natural-material buttons consistent with period construction.
Surf Line Hawaii was an active Hawaiian shirt brand during the 1960s. While the label does not explicitly state country of manufacture, the fabric, construction, and styling are consistent with mid-century Surf Line Hawaii barkcloth shirts produced during that period.
