This is a vintage "shellback" print raglan, probably from the 1970s. The name "shellback" was given to freshly-initiated sailors after they had completed their first trip passing the equator. I know nowadays that seems trivial but back in the 1700s the journey was rough. In a weird turn of events, the ceremony to celebrate crossing it was also - kind of like a hazing but to promote morale.
The ceremony was so widespread, in fact, that Charles Darwin, way back in the 1830s wrote about how the ship he was on (the HMS Beagle - the very same one he traveled around the world document evolution) would stop, hail Neptune, and the newly-minted shellbacks would be tied down, and dunked - sometimes into the ocean, on a board.
I didn't have to do any of that to put this shirt on (or take it off?) 💋
