Made by Geeks For Geeks

Geek Tropical is a handcrafted clothing brand for your geeky side. Our nerd clothing brand hopes to enrich your life and aims to support the greater geek community.

Geek Tropical came about as we went on a search for nerd apparel for our own wardrobes. We were sadly disappointed to find a lack of originality, color, and options in the short sleeve button up space. As a result, we made it our mission to do something about it, and now we have multiple product options outside of Hawaiian shirts, like nerdy dresses and matching bucket hats.

Geek Apparel For You

Our goal is for you to feel like yourself in comfortable, high-quality, and hand crafted fabric that is sustainably made-to-order for you.

We accomplish this by partnering with a trusted print on demand shop in located in Vietnam. Using this method nothing goes to waste, and we avoid the "fast fashion" trend. Each individual shirt receives love and care as a completely handmade cut and sewn product made from raw fabric rather than screen printed on mass produced shirts.

Customer photo review of Mouse Pointers Cursor Curvy Button Up Shirt

5'7" 210lbs - Ordered based on the size chart and it fits perfectly! Not too tight in the chest, and the tapered waist gives actual shape to the garment instead of feeling like I'm wearing a box

Customer photo review of Forest Cats Lilac Button Up Shirt

Absolutely love the design! My only complaint is that the collar feels a little too big on my even after washing. But still felt good to wear.

Customer photo review of Pumpkin Cats Long Sleeve Button Up Shirt

Love the shirt! I'm 2X, but ordered 4X so that I could wear it as an overshirt with a hoodie underneath. It's a great 🎃 design and the roomy size will allow me to keep warm in the chilly, NYS Adirondack fall.

Customer photo review of Purple Computer Circuit Board Button Up Shirt

This shirts are awesome! Here's one of the 4. Hubby loves them & they're so much easier for him to get on than the pull overs he normally wears.

Customer photo review of Sootsprites Anime Long Sleeve Midi Dress

Absolutely ADORE this dress. Sleeves are long enough, seam connecting 'shirt' to skirt is just the right length, very flattering. Have worn it twice in two weeks, complements even from people unfamiliar with Ghibli. Fabric is super comfy, pockets deep enough for two phones, sunglasses. So so so good, literally the perfect dress. Maybe I can request a v-neck version in future??🙏 Definitely will order again!

Customer photo review of Monster Rubber Duckies Button Up Shirt

My new favorite shirt! Print came out great, and the sizing is as described. The Geeknit material has a swimsuit-esque feel to it: it's smooth, breathable, would probably dry quickly if someone pushed me in a pool. Definitely recommend.
