Vintage Late 70s / Early 80s Hawaii Surfer Ringer Tee – XS/S

Such a cool late 1970s / early 1980s Hawaii souvenir ringer tee with the perfect old-school surf feel. Featuring a beautifully faded tropical graphic with a surfer riding a wave, palm trees and bold Hawaii lettering across the front.

The emerald green body is finished with contrasting buttery yellow trim around the neckline and sleeves, giving it that unmistakable vintage ringer tee look. Based on the fitted cut, lightweight fabric, ringer construction and style of the graphic, we believe this piece dates to approximately the late 1970s to early 1980s.

The fabric and print have softened and faded beautifully over the years, giving it the kind of genuine worn-in character that is so hard to replicate.

The original neck tag is present but has faded completely and is no longer readable.
