Carioca Shirt

Originally sold in both solids and stripes in 1984 the Carioca Shirt was mostly sold in multicolored stripes.

From the catalogue: “A more festive, more stylish, more sensual people than the Cariocas of Rio you will find nowhere on earth. Brazilians seem to samba through life chanting, “No problem, no problem, no problem,” to the same insults, inanities, and inconveniences that would give most of us terminal stress. We wanted our Carioca Shirt to embody the giddy, infectious, anything-can-happen spirit of Rio at Carnival. So we cut it loose, the better to dance in, and made it of a cool, silky cotton with a hint of sheen that catches the light. And because the only real sin is to be boring, we concocted four exuberant stripes to show the world what a colorful character you are.”

The example below matches the design of the Carioca Shirt (horizontal striped pockets), although the color doesn’t seem to be in the catalogues. Mysterious.
