I have this Aloha shirt I found at a Walla Walla Washington Estate sale and cannot find anything about the brand. It is a rayon type material as opposed to barkcloth. The print has butterflies and palm.
 
The vertical buttonholes and what look like flat felled seams (as opposed to serged) suggests older, like 60s. I say 60s instead of 50s because of the earthtones colorway, and the lack of print matching for the pocket.

Japan has done some modern reproduction aloha shirts, but this maker doesn't ring a bell. Also, the print is very nice, but not so iconic that it would be a hot seller. So more liekly to be authentic IMO
