I bought a bunch of Columbia sportswear shirts. Cold water wash and quick dry. No muss no fuss, lightweight and very cool to wear. I hope I don't stick out too much. LOL
I think as a human you should dress however you want and in a way you are comfortable. It really makes no difference what other people think of how you dress.
that's one way to go. but as ZZ Top says, ruclips.net/video/Pn2-b_opVTo/видео.html
The fourth shirt is called a Barong Tagalog or simply a Barong. It is not just for weddings and politicians. It is a dress shirt equivalent to wearing a western suit and tie but the great thing is there is no tie!! They are very comfortable and if you will be staying there for a good length of time I suggest you go to a tailor shop and have 2 or 3 tailor made for you for those times when you want to attend some function and look really good but at the same time being extremely comfortable. When you wear the Barong you wear a t-shirt underneath as the Barongs are made of sheer clothe and can be seen through. This is good because you can wear a colored t-shirt underneath the white Barong and you will look absolutely fabulous even if you don't have a great physic.
What I found that works really well in the heat is are these:
A button down short sleeve shirt with a collar.
I moisture wicking polo. Undrrarmor and such make great one.
Same goes for tee shirts. Moisture wicking is the only way to go.
They dry out fast and don't hold onto the sweat. My wife likes the polos and cargo shirt combo. I still wear sneakers, just cannot do flip flops when out of the house.
It is called Barong Tagalog. I wore one when I got married in the PI. I like polo shirts because it is like a t-shirt with a collar. Plus more formal. Thanks for the info!!!
For those who asked, here is a photo of the "4th Shirt" (for weddings, special occasions). It's called a Barong. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6c/MyBarong_created_this_Custom_tailored_Barong_Tagalog_for_my_wedding.jpg
LifeBeyondTheSea - Philippines when i was in california, i almost considered bringing my thin, wool suit.. just in case, for a wedding someday. oh hell no.. way too hot for the PH, i left it in calif. ha!
I didn't think it matter what you wear as long as you are with your woman you are ok
it's kinda like your guayabera shirt in south american culture but woven from mature piña leaves.

You were referring to the barong, I have a long sleeve for formal occasions. But, I brought some guayaberas from Mexico and it really makes me standout when I wear them with slacks and boots. I also like wearing the cubaveras as well..
I love how your videos more the most part are timeless. Thank you.
I like your videos. you're very pleasant to watch. Thanks for all that you do
Aesome set of videos. You have increased my confidence to travel there. Thank you po.
My favorite to wear there is the breathable fabric "golf shirts". It looks like a polo but any breeze cuts right through it.
Recently subscribed and really find your videos so down to earth and with commen sense. Planning a trip there and all the info has been so spot on , TY
Thanks for the tips mate, good vid
good video when I spent my month there all I would had on was shorts an short sleeve shirts I felt very comfortable and casual just like I dress all year long in fort Lauderdale
I'm a big fan of quarter button (3 buttons) henleys. They're a little nicer than wearing a graphic t-shirt and lighter than a polo. They look great with over the knee shorts and some minimalist white sneakers.
Polo works anywhere...but have you thought about a Kimono...Its chic light...and you will stand out
There's another category of shirts that seem to have been forgotten: short-sleeved, button down shirts that are cut similar to "dress" shirts. I have a goodly number of these I wear in the warm climate of Las Vegas. Some of these shirts can even been worn with a tie. When I wear one of those shirts along with a nice clean pair of khaki shorts, I turn many a filipina head at the malls in Cabanatuan City! Not that I notice, of course...my dear wife points it out....
Doug Thompson those are good too, but usually require ironing. i'm way too lazy with clothing to iron anything. ha!
LifeBeyondTheSea - Philippines Just get someone to iron it for you. I know it's strange for some people but my favorite household chore is ironing. I rather iron than wash the dishes. :-p
This is extremely helpful advice.
Hello, I enjoyed your video. My girlfriend lives in Davao and everytime I go visit her she wants me to wear polo shirts. I never thought much about it till I heard your comments. Great information.
Im from cebu but i always wear those brands that is fit for local fashion like penshoppe or bench, its affordable and i guess thats a cool shrts their either polo shirt or just a plane shirt, i guess its kind of similar to US style.
I love the sleeveless shirts, or muscle shirts as they call them and T shirts. Polo's to are good, for airflow maybe the light weight short sleeve button up shirts too. I plan on sandals or tennis shoes for foot wear, Cargo shorts as i hear that's the fashion many wear there from the states.
i'll stick to the old tshirts,and shorts, like to blend right in with the filipinos when we visit there for a month every year, really helps having a filipino wife also
Hello Henry, I really enjoy the segment regarding what to wear as single newbies, but how about men such as myself who are not single and visiting fiancé for first time?
One of the few stories my father told me of WW2 was his time in the Philippines. He found one of those fine white shirts & put it on under his uniform...said it was cooler?!? Problem was he had the collar out & started taking fire. Murphy's laws of combat says "always try to look unimportant"
So he ditched the shirt. Served a total of 36 years with tours in Korea & Nam...but I never saw him wear one.
I literally only own black t-shirts, black pants and black boots.
I wore this every time in Thailand and I plan to wear it in the rest of the world too.
wearing black is much hotter
Henry, its called a barong and yes usualy worn by the groom when getting married.I wore one myself.
Henry,
The Hawaiian shirt is pretty much your trademark. Don't worry about the negative comments. Some of us already know a little about the Philippines and the Visayas. We're just looking for your point of view.
Nice video Henry ... I will be bringing mostly V-Neck shirts. Different styles and colors. I have had a few Filipinas tell me they like that style of shirt. And, of course plenty of Cargo Shorts ....
Henry, I'll be 66-67 years old when I retire to the PH in 13 1/2 to 14 years from now. At that age I probably won't care about impressing anybody. My basic wardrobe will consist of tank tops, shorts, and flip flops. I'll probably keep some t-shirts and polo shirts (considering they are breathable and not sticking to me) as a backup, but my original wardrobe will pretty much stick.
Even if you are 70+ years old you can still get a 20 years old Filipina (as long as you have money)
I have a standard daily uniform - and it rarely changes: Hawaiian shirt, cargo shorts, leather sandals. I have 2 dozen shirts (more planned), 3 or 4 shorts, and 2 pairs of sandals. Standard daily uniform - and I can dress in the dark and still look good. But that's just me.
BTW: The white formal shirt worn to weddings and government offices is called a barong tagalog - the traditional dress of the Philippines going back to Spanish days. I have a couple of those too - which I only wear to church on Sunday.
lyn is the only filipina g/f who lets me wear hawaiian shirts in town. :) my previous g/f's would not have it. said i looked like a tourist. (ie; other filipinas would notice me) ha! but my original hawaiian shirts are wearing out so i need a new batch next time i go to calif. hard to find though if i visit in the winter holidays.
I never knew there was a way of "how you dress" in Philippines. Tshirts or jerseys, doesn't necessarily convey "common" or bottom line or "bare minimum". It's comfy to people, and many Filipinos love to play or watch basketball hence the Jerseys. Even wearing them can still attract people. It doesn't have to be labelled with "Lakers" or what not
That last shirt you were referring to is called a Barong Tagalog..It's sort of a formal wear I guess you might say....Love your updates.......
the 4th shirt is called barong tagalog and the expensive one are made from fibers of pineapples ..so if u wear one...think about it...the rest of the pineapple might be in a grocery shelves in cans marked Dole...no kidding
Hey, thanks for posting this. Yes, i've noticed the reaction to polo shirts. Do you know of any "big menswear" stores in phils? Or would you suggest finding a tailor to make shirts? I suspect even tailor made shirts may be cheaper than buying stuff in US/UK/Australia.
Browntau i should find me a good tailor and have some more shirts made. few carry my size and i'm not as big as other expats. second-hand stores often have usa-size shirts. those stores are called ukai-ukai. :)
Thanks for the tip about second hand stores...I wonder if'd be a decent business to set up a store for ex-pats to buy clothes?
What, no business button downs, I've got a closet full, damn 😂😂😂
i've seen a 'few' guys with white office shirts, buttoned.. but light linen and sleeves rolled up. looks nice, but still casual. however dark office shirts will heat up with the sun and you'll sweat like crazy here. ha!
that 4th option shirt is THE National Shirt, worn to the most special occasion such as getting married, meeting the pope, getting buried in...
I think what your discribing is a Barong Tagalog. Fabric are made from pina (pineapple), jusi (abaca fiber) and banana fiber, or silk with varying degrees & size of (hand) embroideries on the front. These are worn on formal occasions. The cheaper ones I think are made from cotton. These are worn for ordinary days at the office by the rank & file guys, security details (VIP protection), or for school uniforms and so on.
Unless you're off to a formal or important function (like "Mamanhikan" asking the parents for their daughter's hand in marriage), I don't suggest you wear a Barong.
oh a dress shirt i got a few of them and they arent to bad in the hot weather because the material is rather thin however pitstains are pretty noticeable cuz i still sweat like a beast
very handy rules. Like in Thailand where the worst look is the Chang Beer Singlet!
Yeah, the Filipino dress (formal) shirt is really expensive and made from coconut husk fibers. No idea how you wash that. They cost about $150 - $200
that last shirt you referred to on your video is it a guallvera ?
Haha. Can't believeyou made a video about clothing. For those who are new to the Philippines, just remember that it is usually hot and humid here (even if it's raining). You won't impress anybody with sweat-stained underarms and back. Dress lightly but don't wear your sleeping attire outside.
I have always said you were a fasionista Henry! Myself (when I get back) would probably ad some sort of button up shirt. The thing is it needs to be cool and probably short sleeve. Surprise surprise it is HOT there and it isn't all that impressive to be sweating all the time. I do LOVE cargo shorts though!
We call them "Dress shirts" here in New Zealand (the last type you mentioned).
Polo shirts are like the new business casual here in the states.
I will wear rock t shirts such as Iron Maiden and Ac/dc. i don't care.
My fiancée always tries to get me into tight t-shirts. I naturally gravitate toward loose, button-down shirts--not just for comfort but because it's easier to hide knives and guns and stuff. I don't have a concealed carry permit in the Philippines, of course, so that is not an issue.
Do you have a muscle psysique?
Im gonna grab a few Polo's!! Thanks!
Just to help you out the last shirt that you mentioned is called a barong, you could be possibly right depending on what type of shirt a foreigner could wear to attract girls, I think it depends on the character of that person if he is joyful he has more chances to get a girl if he is submissive and quiet open possibly arrogant he has no chance, but at the end of the day as long as you are a foreigner you will get any girl because they see us as moneymakers, i’ve seen eight-year-olds with 18-year-olds, for myself regardless of what I wear I still pulling girls, I also think it depends on what the person looks like,
The secret to get girls make them laugh be funny and before you know it there in your hotel room with in one hour
You're the Man Henry!!!
Henry....I'm going to meet family for the first time in the Philippines in two weeks. I can't stand to tuck in my shirts. lol. Maybe it's the typical American guy spare tire that I carry with me. But I can't stand it!! Is it really necessary to tuck in shirts? Thanks in advance for the feedback.
In my videos about the Philippines I always wear a Hawaiian shirt. Sort of started when business customer of mine in Washington DC saw me in the Hawaiian shirt and said why are you wearing that shower curtain? It struck me as particularly funny. So I vowed to wear those shirts through all my videos. This is a Margaritaville shirt that retails at $68 bucks but at SAMs club it was $19 and if you wait like me to buy them on super sale $3.91 ... Yes I know the joke ... You paid that much! Good job Rekay
What about a button down short sleeve shirt? You can dress that up or down very basic but clean lines!
that works too. since this video i'm also into wicking polo-type shirts. plentiful in vietnam. can also find the wicking sport shirts in the PH, but usually only up to a general-Large size.. which runs a bit on the small side.
@@Lifebeyondthesea Yeah I'm 6'3 240 lol. Not sure I would even find clothes there but was told my general attire fits the Philippines. In Florida I stay casual but would lay off the Polo shirts if it denotes wealth. I like basic neat clean nothing else needed in my opinion? Besides I don't think a woman ever dated me for being a fashion wizard lol...
I think I will go with the polo shirt for daytime,and dress shirt worn in a casual manner sleeves rolled up.Nice pair of jeans not necessarily denim and sneakers. I am not really a shorts and flip flops type of guy, unless just chilling around the house.Off course this is assuming I can survive the heat and humidity.
Thumbs up for another great and informative video.
well in my hometown it doesn't matter what you wear
Serious question here. I have a service connected disability that requires me to wear compression hose. Bad circulation. What would be the Filipino reaction to that? No way to go without wearing shorts in that heat. Thanks in advance.
I watched this cause I laughed at the title but the info was useful, thanks
Barong Tagolog is a formal dress shirt native to PI
Hey thanks for theae videos ive learned alot from you however i know it can get rutealy hot there what about tank tops? Thanks coming for 2 weeks in july might not leave lol
Hawaiian shirts are definitely comfy even though it makes us look touristy LOL I wear them when on vacations as well
GWRevolutionTV they'll always be in my rotation. :)
Ha ha ha,the legendary Hawaiian shirt,it's a beauty,a good mate of mine wore one religiously in PI being the fashionista he thinks he is,anyways that was up until he met his gf over there.she said only cheep Charlie & newbie wear that shirt,very funny,think I will borrow it off him now.keep up the good work Henry,great stories & wonderful in sites to a place I'm very fond of.
I found your vlogs by accident, it's really cute. I am a pure Dumaguetena, I see the expats around town a lot, though never really interacted with one. I really appreciate your love for Dumaguete. As for the what to wear, clean. simple and smells good. So a good cologne, nice clean t-shirt and a pair of jeans is okay to go around town. Hope you find love and happiness in our small but sweet city. I also hope only good men come. Goodluck and God Bless.
She An i very much love it here in 'Duma'. :) from here i am beginning to visit nearby places like valencia, dauin and even bayawan.
:) this might depend tho..most of the time those guys in Hawaiian shirts are like more than 40,.. yeah polo shirt are cool..but it doesn't always mean it's just for a rich guy.but it seems sooo clean instead ..
Aloha from Lahaina,
Tom Cruise Bowling Shirt, that's terrific.
Good info Henry. O , and nice magic trick. Henry the magnificent Lol
It's called a Barong, the fancy filipino shirt...😉. Cool tips, I enjoy your videos.
….These are good....level- headed.....constructive videos....
Is he still doing video updates? I recently subscribed to his channel but I don't see much after 2015.
lots and lots of videos since 2015 (about 730 videos now).. go to; www.seetheph.com for the latest list.
Barongs are cool... maybe if you referred to them as the shirts that all the old cubano's in Miami wear people would get the picture..
Grandpa used to call them Colombian Drug Lord Shirts😁
almost a ten years old video... and still valid to this day ! 😂
👍
Glad you liked it!
Guayabera shirts, casual/elegant 😎🤙
Another ooppsss here. I deleted an account from Google and all posts under that account went bye-bye.
Hi Henry,
I much prefer what I would call a short sleeve dress or casual wear shirt.
These are not the classic "Hawaiian", oft times, loud print shirts.
I find T-shirts to be too hot and clingy for the Philippine climate.
While "Polo" type shirts certainly look much better the T-shirts I find them even hotter usually due to heavier weight fabric.
A good button down collar or not, short sleeve, casual dress shirt is for me the best. One word of caution however. Make sure it is a blend of cotton/polyester. Pure cotton casual wear shirts are usually of a heavier fabric. I have some stowed away and never wear them. They look very good but are too damn hot.
Also here in the Fils you must be cautious about the fabric content printed on the labels. I bought a couple of shirts that said pure cotton only to find out after wearing them that the label was pure B.S. and the shirts were 100% made from synthetic fabric. That's a lot like wearing a plastic bag for a shirt. Usually you can tell by the "feel" of the fabric if it is a blend.
The casual shirts can be had in solid colors or stripes or plaids. And they do make you look better. It is hard to find larger sizes in the Philippines unless you go to high end clothing stores. And for the prices you pay there you might as well buy something stateside and bring them with you. Wal-Mart is a good place as are Target stores. They usually have a good selection and decent prices.
Definitely cargo type shorts. I cannot understand how the women here wear those skin tight jeans. Looks good but must be very hot(double entendre intended). As for Levi's or other types of heavy weight, tight fitting jeans...you gotta be out you mind to wear them here. I often have a good chuckle at those OWM(old white men) strolling around the malls with 40lbs of beer belly fat hanging over the front of their 4 sizes too small jeans.
I guess they figure if they can still squeeze into a 42"~46" waist they are not really fat. To me that rates up there with the bad comb overs trying to hide a bald spot. Oh yeah, I am 5'8" about 165lbs. So I can usually find all manner of clothes that fit me here in the Philippines. And I am an OWM at 65.
But you should bring a pair or two of loose fitting fairly lightweight trousers, just in case. I have three pair of what look like pajama bottoms. They are very light and nice and baggy. I can carry a pair in my backpack then slip them on outside the immigration office. Although now that the Cebu office has moved to their new location in the J-Mall I do not know if the long trouser rule is still in effect.
BTW and FWIW Men wear trousers, women wear pants. So you can let your woman wear the pants in the family as long as you wear the trousers.
Take care,
Fred
It's even more amusing when you wear shorts and you're covered in tattoos. All the looks I got while there were almost funny.
PS Understand the formal Philippines mens shirt you referred to is called " Barong Tagalog Shirt" worn at Filipino weddings & other formal occasions, trust thats of help........
Q Are you planning additional video info again for men on footwear or is it mostly beach style flip flops ?? ......thanks
thanks for the info on the Barong. As to footwear, I prefer the strap-on sandals over the flip-flops. Mostly because if I need to RUN out of the way of traffic (or in one case, from attackers in Cebu).. I want footwear that holds to my feet.. not flip-flips. Plus, flip-flops are about the cheasiest footwear on the planet (imo). The next "step up" from strap-on sandals are the shoes that look like a nylon tennis shoe, but much of it is cut away to let your feet breathe. It's kinda like a shoe and sandal hybrid. Wearing actual shoes with socks, in this heat, is just begging for athlete's foot. ha!
LifeBeyondTheSea - Philippines I wore flip flops there, went to get the gf a cold drink from upstairs, came back down like a ton of bricks, they make your feet sweat,i just slip in them, and straight up in the air, landed on my back on a wooden staircase, i,m like , hope I did,t break my back, I could just imagin about 6 Filipino,s trying to lift my 18 stone, lol
What about a Columbia style fishing shirt?
If you really want to impress, wear a polo shirt and really be able to play polo!
Nice video thanks for sharing I just join your channel 💙🏅🕊
Thanks and welcome
What makes a t shirt and any jeans or shorts look good???? Confidence!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
What I learned living in those weather. No mather the shirt, the girls they know!
It's more about your ability to discriminate the bad and the good. And no mather the shirt shirt you wear, that the hardest part.
But for me, better not look like a newbie.... You atrract less bad girls...
The dressy guyabano shirt is number four.
how are you,i don't know if you are still in ph, but I need information how I get livening place in Bohol and as will in manila and mandnia . plz can you help me about that thanks lats
My Goodness, an interesting video, that begs 2 questions, first being, I thought it was not wise to wear your wealth, second is, how can you consider the importance of your clothes if you are wearing cargo shorts ? A fashion " faux pas " if i ever heard one. I would suggest a nice lightweight pair of slacks to go with the polo shirt. Shorts simply say casual days. Thanks Henry lets keep the information and ideas flowing.
roysjoy if i'm in the carbon market (cebu), merkado of lapu-lapu.. those type of places, i have no problem with "dressing down" to a t-shirt/shorts. I'll even skip carrying a backpack if possible. but when in the upper-class malls of Ayala or SM Cebu, Robinson's Dumaguete.. i personally don't like to look like a slob when everyone else (especially the hot girls) are dress all nicely. so.. depending on where i am, i try to dress appropriately. crime is pretty much zero in the nice malls.. but out on the streets, it's best to dress-down.
Yes, that shows a balanced view. I myself actually will be keeping this video and discussion in mind as I often get too casual in my attire and will pack accordingly so to have options, thanks Henry.
LifeBeyondTheSea - Philippines I go to Ayala mall daily and I never seen so many armed guards in my life. I was wondering if security is the number 1 occupation here.
There are shorts that are cut like slacks. Those are the kind of shorts I buy for my Dear Husband and he wears a collared short-sleeved button down shirt, which would be step up from a polo-shirt.
I like that style for dressing up. Thanks
Make a video on how big and tall get clothes locally in the philippines. I'm 6ft 2
best bet is the ukay ukay stores. the other choice is the bigger malls, expect to pay $18+ for a large, western-sized shirt.
Filipinos love Polo shirts! I can attest to that :)
Honestly when I used to visit the P.I, I never realy over did it, just wore a lot of surfing brand shirts and sporting hawaiian short or plain shorts with great running shoes and oakley glasses, being a balik bayan guy, I stand out, people can tell I was not raised in pinas, but yea had some fun and sad times out there, never realy had a real gf
SoCal Rc Guy my theory is that wrinkled shirts tell a woman, "i need a wife". ha!
Oh hahaha,
Hey man how was your trip to the philippines was hard/easy to get a gf
se TEDtalk: why we struggle now; high status, masculine characters in the group turn women on
UNFINDABLE after many google searches.
Henry, you forgot my favorite shirt. The sleeveless "wife beater" look. I have to say I rock that look at fifty eight years old. The locals call me John Cena. But in all fairness to you Henry, you have to have some guns to look right in this type of shirt! (HA)! : )
Robert Briant i just saw a dude in a wife-beater shirt yesterday.. damn, that was a sad sight. i really wanted to tell him, "please.. just, go home and put on some other shirt."
LOL! Ahhhhhh C'mon Henry. Don't hate on guy's with arms Bro! hahahaha! In any case, your rockin your look! : )
short sleeve "dress shirt" when going out, basically a hawaiian shirt but not as loud and obnoxious. wife beater around the house. i hate polo shirts/tshirts.
You forgot about the sleeveless muscle shirts ;)
What about bottom shirts...long n short sleeve that's what I like
i'm not familiar with the term, 'bottom shirts'.
What about foot wear?
Hi Henry Thank you for your very informative dress code info the latest in your excellent Philippines series, just one additional piece of info I would like to request. Am I correct in saying its a lot cheaper to shop for these various types of shirts there in Philippines rather than here in UK which along with being mostly very expensive like a Polo style short sleeve shirt in my local M & S (Marks & Spencer) at £35 (around $60) which I feel is expensive. In some shops they could be copies but not quit as expensive as the real brand but still a rip off which the UK in large parts is known for & is a reflection on what our devious politicians have allowed to happen in MY country......oop better stop there politicians are not good for anyones BP !
If you shop the smaller malls long enough you will find some great buys on polo shirts here. I've gotten them for about $12 USD. I also will peruse the women's boutiques. ( !!! ) They usually have men's shirts there for as little as $2. But the key (for me) is finding anything in my size. I'm not a giant guy (5'9" / 180 lbs) but compared to Filipino sizes, I'm a giant. So you'll just have to look around or, take one good shirt you like to any tailor here and they will MAKE you a shirt for about $9 USD or less.
LifeBeyondTheSea - Philippines Thanks Henry for that helpful informative reply I will keep that in mind.
I was in Cebu in early 1990's & with all of the building work that was going on then & from what I have seen with your excellent LBTS videos + others on YT it has changed, like everywhere else & in UK's case not for the better we are now bursting at the seems as our infrastructure is close to collapse.......and London is now largely perceived as no go area for most of the indigenous population & we all know who is to blame the EUSSR !!!...
LifeBeyondTheSea - Philippines Is it a highly intelligent move to bring tailor-made Linen suits / have them custom-tailored in The Philippines? If I'm forced to wear shorts and shirts I'm gonna curl up. Btw you wear Hawaiian shirts like a boss.
How is wheelchair accessibility in rhe Philippibes?
it's good in the it-park and business-park (ayala) areas of cebu, as well as in makati areas. clark city, the new areas, also good.
but most other places, a bit inconsistent and not ideal. very few places have even a consistent sidewalk.
My wardrobe consists of 12 polo shirts and one barong. Why? Because my wife dresses me.
Barong Tagalog. It's basically a tuxedo level garment
Ok Polo shirts it is .
Reekay, you are the man dude, be thankful you are dark completed and you are tan. You look good in all 3, Reekay, I'm not queer haha but I do love clothes, I am coming there also, there women are very beautiful, thanks for the good fashion tips and I will have a filipina on my arm or maybe even my Chinese babe who wants to meet there. Keep making great videos
I ware either T-Shirts or polo I will pass on the Hawaiian shirt It is just not me, LOL I wear shorts around the house & the condo complex but when I go out, I am a jeans kind of guy, have been all my life. LOL
how about the goth look? see any of that there?
Nope, none of that.
Can you wear a polo shirt in Antipolo?
yes. but then you would be erased from the time/space continuum.
by gosh just tshirt and shortsss no pants polo especially flower polo its stupid looking for us
