Notes: An extremely rare and iconic first-edition vintage Patagonia Pataloha Hawaiian Shirt from the Mid-1980s in excellent very lightly worn preowned condition. This was one of the original 1985 Patagonia Pataloha aloha shirts. Made of 100% rayon.
“In the 1930’s, a splashy, brash shirt was born on the islands of Hawaii, Soon it became famous. As its popularity grew, however, the Hawaiian shirt, once an item of impressionistic beauty, slowly degenerated. Its colors became lurid, its patterns lacked subtlety and it was most often found covering large bellies or hidden under Nikons, a pitiful sight. With these new Pataloha originals, we hope to restore some dignity to a once great classic. Using the old patterns as our guide, we asked an artist friend to design 3 shirts exclusively for us. She did, and we had the designs copied onto 100% stabilized rayon. (This rayon, made from a spun yarn rather than a filament, wrinkles less than the old shirts and is less likely to bag out of shape.) The shirts are cut loosely with wide full sleeves and body for that feeling of wearing nothing at all. The pockets are carefully matched to the pattern and the buttons are made of coconut shell. Garment washed, allow for 3% shrinkage. Imported” (Patagonia, Spring 1986).
Please carefully review product descriptions, photos, and measurements before purchasing to ensure a proper fit and satisfaction. Please note that items for sale are vintage/pre-owned in nature, with most being previously worn. Each garment is carefully inspected during the listing process for imperfections/flaws which are then photographed and/or noted in the item's description. See the “Condition Ratings” tab for more information.
Please refer to the measurements included in the description to ensure a proper fit, as vintage sizing frequently differs slightly from modern sizing. Sizes listed in the product title are based on the “best fits a” size rather than the tag size. To ensure a proper fit, we strongly recommend comparing the provided measurements to a similar garment of your own that fits to your liking. For more information, visit the “How to Measure” tab.
