1950s/1960s Sun Casuals of Miami Red Sailboat Terry-Lined Cabana Shirt – Modern Men’s S/M to Slim M

Description

A standout vintage Sun Casuals of Miami cabana shirt in bright red with a yellow and white sailboat, palm tree, and shoreline print. The style is pure mid-century resortwear: bold, playful, practical, and made for the pool, beach, patio, or anywhere that benefits from a little Miami vacation mood.

The shirt features a camp collar, short sleeves, front button closure, oversized front patch pockets, and cream terry-cloth reverse/trim at the collar, sleeves, front edge, and pocket edges. It wears somewhere between a short sleeve shirt, beach jacket, and cabana top, with enough structure and texture to stand on its own.

Sun Casuals of Miami captures that specific Florida resortwear spirit: graphic color, easy silhouettes, and warm-weather pieces designed for leisure. This one has especially good presence because of the red ground, yellow nautical print, and tactile terry trim.

Marked size M. Based on Dean’s measurements and the visible fit, this is best for a modern men’s S/M to slim M, approximately 38/40 chest, depending on desired fit. On Dean, it fits close through the chest, shoulders, and upper arms rather than relaxed.

Shown on Dean with gray trousers and sunglasses. Listing is for the cabana shirt only.

Fit Notes

Marked size M. Estimated modern fit is men’s S/M to slim M, approximately 38/40 chest.

Shown on Dean, who is 6’2”, 170 lb, wears a men’s Medium shirt, 40L slim-fit suit, has a 40” chest, 36” sleeve, and 31/32” waist. On Dean, the shirt fits close through the chest, shoulders, and arms with a slim vintage cabana-shirt shape. Best for a modern men’s Small/Medium or someone who wears a slim Medium and prefers a fitted mid-century resort shirt.

This is not a relaxed modern Medium fit on Dean.

Condition

Good vintage condition with wear consistent with age. The shirt presents with strong color and a great graphic print, but visible vintage wear is present, including light surface marks, faint discoloration, natural creasing, and age-related wear/toning to the cream terry trim. The piece remains wearable and visually strong, but the signs of age are part of the condition and are reflected in the grade. Please review photos carefully.

Styling Notes

Wear it with high-waisted trousers and sunglasses for a sharp mid-century resort look, or style it open over a white tank with shorts, denim, or linen pants. It also works with pleated trousers, swim trunks, cropped chinos, or casual summer tailoring. The red and yellow palette pairs especially well with ivory, cream, tan, faded denim, navy, chocolate brown, and washed black.

Styling / Cross-Sell Note

Styled with gray trousers, sunglasses, jewelry, and accessories for shoot styling. Listing is for the cabana shirt only unless otherwise stated.

Curation Note

Selected for its vivid red color, Sun Casuals of Miami label, nautical tropical print, terry-lined cabana construction, and strong mid-century resortwear personality. It is the kind of vintage piece that feels playful and collectible while still being very wearable.

Authenticity Note

Interior label reads Sun Casuals of Miami with marked size M. Era is estimated based on the label design, cabana shirt construction, terry-cloth reverse/trim, tropical nautical print, button style, and mid-century resortwear silhouette.
