Would anyone have any information on certain Belize-specific clothing? I have found a number of websites that sell t-shirts but where would one order a well-made polo shirt or tennis shorts or even a Belize swim suit? I figured I would post this topic because all of you seem so wonderfully helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you in advance!

There are a some tee-shirts made in Belize and a few clothes manufactured at sewing operations in Belize City, but most clothes in Belize are imported from Mexico, the U.S., Guatemala or elsewhere. Belize is a small country and doesn't have much of a domestic manufacturing industry, nor much of a local fabric crafts tradition.

The clothes from Belize as Lan mentioned are available at many gift shops in San Pedro. The Hawaiian style shirt silkscreened on rayon fabric is $130-190bz. Very expensive in my book. I found the same fabrics available at Mikado - a fabric store in Belize City for $9bz and made my own. The prints are done by Advanced Graphics, in Belize, and there are many designs to choose from. Chocolates gift shop on Caye Caulker has a nice selection of tropical print shorts and tops for men and women, but they are all imported.
