A heather grey Maui and Sons tee with a bold back graphic — a framed "Wave Riding Competition" poster illustration of a Hawaiian warrior gripping a spear and riding a surfboard, wrapped in "MAUI & SONS" down the sides, "HAWAIIAN WARRIOR" arched across the base in yellow, with the Maui and Sons roundel and tropical palm accents. Marked H.S.L. '95.
Maui and Sons was one of the defining California surf-and-skate labels of the late 80s and 90s, known for loud, illustration-heavy graphics that captured the era's beach culture. A dated 1995 back-print piece like this — big, colourful, and unmistakably of its moment — is exactly the kind of vintage surfwear that has surged back into demand. The soft heather and single-stitch feel place it firmly in the mid-90s.
