Navy Cotton Shirt with Hand and Rose Print

1970s · 1970s · British

A long-sleeved cotton shirt featuring an all-over print of stylized hands reaching upward with roses or floral elements scattered throughout the design. The shirt has a standard collar, button-front closure, and appears to be cut in a relaxed, straight silhouette typical of early 1970s menswear. The print uses a dark navy or black base with pink and burgundy accents creating the hand and floral motifs. The pattern reflects the counterculture movement's embrace of symbolic imagery, with the reaching hands suggesting themes of peace, love, and human connection that were central to hippie philosophy. The commercial production by Millions of Shirts Inc. demonstrates how psychedelic and symbolic prints moved from underground culture into mainstream fashion retail.
