Tahitian Gardenia Men's Hawaiian Shirt – 100% Rayon, Made in Hawaii

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Tahitian gardenia?
The Tahitian gardenia (Gardenia taitensis) is the national flower of French Polynesia and one of the most fragrant flowers in the Pacific. It's used in traditional Polynesian leis, the famous Monoi de Tahiti oil, and ceremonial garlands across the islands — distinct from the Hawaiian tiare in its larger, creamier bloom.

How does this differ from the Tiare Paradise shirt?
Both feature Polynesian gardenia flowers, but the Tahitian Gardenia print has a richer, more layered background with larger blooms — a lusher, more tropical feel compared to the cleaner Tiare Paradise composition.

Is this made in Hawaii?
Yes! Proudly made in Hawaii, USA by Paradise Found — not an imported imitation.

Does this run true to size?
This shirt runs large. Most people size down one size for a more fitted look, or keep their regular size for the classic loose, relaxed Hawaiian shirt fit.
