1950s RAYON EAMES ATOMIC REM-BRINT HAWAIIAN RETRO SHIRT HERE IS A KILLER VINTAGE MID-CENTURY RAYON SHIRT. IT IS A RARE FIND, AND IS SORT OF A MONEY GREEN BACKGROUND WITH A BOLD RED AND IVORY MODERNISTIC GEOMETRIC PRINT DESIGN. YOU COULD THINK OF THIS AS A HAWAIIAN SHIRT SINCE IT IS MADE IN THE SAME CASUAL STYLE, BUT IT GOES WAY BEYOND THE SCOPE OF AN ALOHA SHIRT.

I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT HOW UNBELIEVABLY COOL THIS PRINT IS! IT LOOKS LIKE FUTURISTIC (FOR THAT ERA) STYLIZED ROCKETS MIXED WITH SOME OTHER KIND OF SYMBOL I CAN'T IDENTIFY. SO, SO RARE AND UNUSUAL!

THIS IS THE ULTIMATE VINTAGE RETRO MID-CENTURY SHIRT. EVEN THE BRAND NAME IS COOL. THE LABEL SAYS "REM-BRINT ORIGINALS CLASSIC DESIGN" AND HAS A PICTURE OF A PAINTER'S EASEL--NO DOUBT A REFERENCE TO ITS ARTISTIC MERITS--ALTHOUGH I CAN'T SEE ANY DIRECT RESEMBLANCE TO ANYTHING PAINTED BY REMBRANDT.

INCIDENTALLY NAMING BRANDS AFTER FAMOUS ARTISTS MUST HAVE BEEN IN VOGUE AROUND THE 1940'S BECAUSE THERE ARE TWO VINTAGE JEWELRY LINES FROM THAT ERA NAMED AFTER RENOIR AND MATISSE. (See my other departments.)

I COULD NOT GET PHOTOS THAT EVEN BEGIN TO SHOW HOW GORGEOUS THIS SHIRT IS! I TRIED UNDER VARYING LIGHTING CONDITIONS, WHICH IS WHY IT LOOKS DIFFERENT COLORS IN THE VARIOUS PHOTOS. MORE PHOTOS ARE AVAILABLE ON REQUEST.

EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS TYPICAL OF THE BEST OF THE BEST CLASSIC PERIOD COLLECTIBLE VINTAGE SHIRTS. NICE DEEP POINTED COLLAR WITH INVISIBLE STITCHING AND A SAME FABRIC BUTTON LOOP. A BUTTON UNDER THE COLLAR. HORIZONTALLY SEWN 4 EYED BUTTONS DOWN THE FRONT. TWO BREAST POCKETS. DOUBLE STITCHED SEAMS. ORIGINAL REM-BRINT BRAND TAG INTACT. FULLY WASHABLE SOFT DRAPING RAYON, WHICH FEELS DREAMY NEXT TO THE SKIN.

THE SIZE LISTED ON THE LABEL IS 16 - 16 1/2, WHICH IS A LARGE BY MODERN SIZING, BUT THEY CALL IT A MEDIUM LARGE ON THE TAG. I DIDN'T REALIZE THERE WAS SUCH A SIZE DESIGNATION UNTIL I SAW THAT "ML" ON THE LABEL. IT WOULD FIT A MEDIUM OR A LARGE MAN (BUT NOT AN XL.) MEASUREMENTS ARE: SHOULDER SEAM TO SHOULDER SEAM 19 1/4 INCHES, UNDERARM TO UNDERARM SEAM IN BACK 23, LENGTH IN BACK FROM NECKLINE TO HEM 28 INCHES.

THE SHIRT IS IN GOOD OVERALL CONDITION, BUT I DO WANT TO MENTION A COUPLE OF THINGS. THERE ARE SOME LIGHT SPOTS ON THE BACK, MOSTLY ON TOP OF THE LEFT SHOULDER AREA, AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS. THESE MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY CARELESS LAUNDERING BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. IT WAS LIKE THIS WHEN I BOUGHT IT FROM A PRESTIGIOUS VINTAGE SHOP ABOUT 30 YEARS AGO. THEY ARE NOT VERY OBVIOUS BECAUSE OF THE IVORY IN THE OVERALL WILD BUSY PRINT, BUT I DID WANT TO MENTION THIS FOR ACCURACY. WE WOULD HAVE TO CHARGE MUCH MORE FOR A SHIRT THIS RARE IF THE CONDITION WERE MINT.

THERE IS ALSO SOME GENERAL OVERALL FADING OF THE FABRIC, SIMPLY DUE TO THE NATURE OF CERTAIN COLORS TO GRADUALLY MELLOW OVER 65 YEARS, BUT AGAIN THIS IS A MINOR CONSIDERATION FOR SUCH A FANTASTIC, ULTRA HIP SHIRT THAT IS STILL VERY COLORFUL.

THIS ONE IS UNIQUE AND A KILLER DESIGN! IT IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SHIRTS, AND IT WILL BE YOURS TOO IF YOU ARE THE LUCKY NEW OWNER.
