The Hawaiian shirt arrived in the 1930s as workwear for plantation labourers in the Pacific and spent the next few decades becoming one of the most recognisable casual garments in the world. The Footage Tropics Shirt takes that silhouette and rebuilds it in a cotton-linen blend — enough structure to hold a sharp line, enough breathability to wear through a long day in the heat.

Black keeps the tropical silhouette grounded — as easy with tailoring as it is with denim, and one of the few tropical shirts that works year-round.

Camp collar with loop-and-button closure. Coconut buttons throughout. Slimmer through the body than the traditional boxy tropical cut.

Wear it buttoned with the collar closed over tailored trousers or lightweight chinos. Open over a white tee with shorts on the weekend. The cut does the work in both directions.

Made in Singapore. Built for the long day.

Footage Made grew out of twenty years of buying the best of what the world makes. Two decades of sourcing from heritage houses and emerging designers, understanding what separates a considered garment from a convenient one, and developing an eye for the details that determine how something wears over time.

After that long studying premium craft across labels and categories, making our own was the natural next step. Each piece begins with a problem worth solving — fit, fabric, function — developed for the way people actually dress in our part of the world, where seasons run long and the divide between formal and casual has always been narrow.

The work is tailored in small batches by design. Sustainable by practice, considered by necessity. Applying the principles of tailoring to ready-to-wear means fewer compromises on fit and construction, at a price point that reflects the work without the margin of a larger label.
