BILLABONG RUSTY O'NEILL QUIKSILVER HAWAIIAN ISLAND CREATIONS The surf apparel industry struggled to react to the Grunge era where bright colors became passee and laughed at as inauthentic and trying-to-hard.  It was bound to make a comeback, and post-Grunge, it did. But it had to embrace its roots and show some soul. Authenticity was key Hawaiian Island Creations (HIC), previously seen primarily in Hawaiian local surf shops, was a no-brainer. Suburban mall outfitter Pacific Sunwear is who brought HIC to the mainland. Looking at their graphics and quality, it's not hard to see why. This one's beautiful. Straight from 1997 and sitting in a drawer at my parents house for the last 20+ years. A mermaid relaxing at the break. Moderate fabric thickness... smooth and flowy.  Small hole on the back center of the shirt up by the collar. Some aging of the image. Some discoloration at the back of the armpit. Look close.  All Sales Final and No Returns on vintage apparel like this one Category: Clothing, Shoes & Accessories › Specialty › Vintage › Men's Vintage Clothing › T-Shirts.
