Vintage Hawaiian Fabrics - selvage, hangtag, and label photos

Recently I found a grouping of vintage 1960s Hawaiian fabrics with fantastic selvage information, printed paper label, and paper hangtag.  Selvages are 44/45 inches wide.

You'll find these vintage fabrics available on Revival Fabrics website in the Hawaiian and Tropical vintage fabric section

An excellent book and reference guide of the history of Hawaiian clothing is The Aloha Shirt: Spirit Of The Islands by Dale Hope.  This is my go to book when I need to know about Hawaiian shirt makers, in depth history of the textile trade and textile artists of Hawaii.  The gorgeous photos make this a book I'll never part with.  (You can find a copy on Amazon)

Enjoy the photos below, let me know what you think I'd love to hear from you.
