I made a shirt using fabric with a monstera motif, which was very popular in the mainland United States and Hawaii in the 1950s.

In the 1950s, after the war, America became a victorious nation and tropical plants from the countries where soldiers were stationed became all the rage. Typical examples include Monstera, as seen on this fabric, as well as Bird of Paradise flowers and Hibiscus. By placing these plants in everyday life, a resort-like atmosphere was created.

Monstera in particular is characterized by its exotic leaf shape. Because it is a relatively easy plant to grow, it has become extremely popular not only in Hawaii but also in warmer regions like California.

The fabric used this time is deadstock cotton broadcloth from the United States, which was only imported to Japan in limited quantities.

The inside of the yoke is made of cupra satin, a smooth and comfortable material.

The shape is a long point and open collar, focusing on the style of the early 1950s.

This is a resort-like pattern that will evoke the atmosphere of an American resort during the hot summer months.
