February 10, 2021 By In Men's Shirts, Men's Clothes, Uncategorized No Comments

The collarless Caribbean Shirt was originally sold in Summer 1984 in discrete striped patterns.

In Summer 1985 it returned in solid colors of blue chambray and white. From the catalogue: “Our classic collarless shirt, loose-fitting with full-cut sleeves, has always been our hands-down favorite for the tropics. It can be worn over a swimsuit or tucked into a pair of tailored slacks; the soft cotton poplin is balm to sunburned skin.”

She loved the clothes, and as an artist, she was drawn to the illustrations. Robyn went on to study illustration at an art college in Banana Republic’s hometown of San Francisco, CA, and she worked for years as a background artist for animation.
