From Wool to Waves Rube Hoffman (shown center, picture to the left) founded his company as Hoffman Woolens in 1924. The New York native had relocated to Los Angeles, where he started out selling wool fabrics from a small loft. Within six years, the company was printing its own fabrics from original designs and Rube changed the name of the company to Hoffman California Fabrics. It was in the 1960s that the company took to producing tropicals and conversationals, thanks to the surfing lifestyle followed by Rube’s two sons, Philip (on right) and Walter. In addition to being a leader in this niche, Hoffman California is known for its beautifully designed quilting cottons in a variety of themes executed as artistically detailed prints. It’s also recognized for introducing authentic Bali Batiks (based on original designs created by in-house textile artists) to the quilting world and remains a leader in offering these one-of-a-kind, hand-dyed fabrics.

Pareaus evolved into men’s button-up shirts, and the fact these shirts became symbolic of the beach lifestyle is due largely to Hoffman California bringing tropical prints to market beginning in the 1950s.

Each Hoffman tropical print starts with handpainted art for a look that’s authentic, individual, and frankly, the best. “It’s the guys who’ve always done it the best who will outlast the fads,” says Walter Hoffman.

This beautiful Hoffman California orchid-design print was selected for a custom Aloha shirt made for the actor Tom Selleck, when he starred in the 1980s TV detective series “Magnum, P.I.” The shirt now lives in the Smithsonian Museum. Another Hoffman California print of parrots perched on palm leaves against a red background also was made into an Aloha shirt for Mr. Selleck. The parrot shirt turned up in an episode of “Cougar Town” starring Courtney Cox.
