Vintage 50s SPEAR by National Rayon Jamaican B.W.I. Tourist Novelty Hawaiian Style Shirt

National Sportswear was a prominent mid-century American garment manufacturer that specialized in high-quality resort wear with tropical novelty prints. The SPEAR line was a premium casualwear sub-brand during the golden age of mid-century fashion.

This is an iconic 1950s original vintage Jamaican novelty print resort shirt. This highly collectible Hawaiian-style shirt features an all-over vibrant graphic print detailing classic Jamaican tourist highlights, including Montego Bay, Rio Grande rafting, Blue Mountain, palm trees, sailboats, and a traditional Calypso Band. The illustrations explicitly spotlight classic cultural and geographic locations meant to entice mid-century vacationers.

The shirt serves as a wearable travelogue of post-WWII Caribbean tourism, featuring a vibrant multi-colored Jamaica - British West Indies novelty print.
