Background of the Brand/Fabric/Style/Era:
Cooke Street has been crafting quality aloha shirts in Honolulu since the 1970s. This 1980s Hawaiian shirt likely dates to the late decade, identifiable by the typer-style font on the label and the care tag layout—both hallmarks of American-made casualwear from the era. The bold block-print design reflects the vibrant, playful aesthetic of classic islandwear, making it a standout piece for collectors and vintage summer styling.
