This is a classic shirt with vignettes of island life connected by a simple white lei that wraps itself around the hand-painted images. Men in an outrigger canoe, a spear fisherman, a net fisherman, flowers, hula girls and people working together all fit nicely into this jet black background, long sleeve shirt.
