60-Day Print, Quality, and Delivery Guarantee
We offer a 60-Day 100% money back guarantee for damaged, misprinted, or faulty products or even packages lost in the mail.
The 60-Day window starts on the date the order has been delivered. In only very rare circumstances will we ask for the inconvenience of returning defective products, and defective products may be kept or given away after confirming with our team.
Our delivery guarantee covers lost packages once confirmed lost from an investigation from the carrier and a claim has been approved, typically confirming that the last package scan was at the wrong location. We will remake the products or refund orders that meet this condition. Geek Tropical is not responsible for any stolen or delayed packages or lost packages that were the result of an incorrect address on the order.
Button replacement: In case products' buttons were damaged during shipment or during the first wash, we would be happy to mail replacement buttons on request.
Returns & Exchanges

Ready-to-Ship / Retail (For products prefixed with "Ready-to-Ship") With exception to products marked as clearance, you may return unused, undamaged, and unwashed merchandise back to our address in the USA within 30 days of purchase to qualify for a product exchange or refund. The hang tag must still be attached to the item. Shipping costs for returns and exchanges are the responsibility of the customer. If the item is in a condition such as being previously worn, washed, or damaged, preventing us from reselling it, we cannot issue an exchange or refund. Should the customer wish to receive the item(s) back, they are responsible for covering postage costs. Ready-to-ship items are clearly marked as such in the product title or on the product page. Ready-to-ship items labeled as clearance or final sale are not eligible for return, exchange, or refund. |
Made-to-Order Although the typical made-to-order policy is no returns and exchanges, we are pleased to offer a 30-day return and exchange policy for our handcrafted-to-order fashion. This window is extended for purchases made between November 1st and December 31st where purchases are eligible for a size exchange until January 31st the following year. The 30-day return and exchange window starts from the date the order was delivered. Postage for the return back to our U.S. address is the customer responsibility, unless the item(s) arrived defective. A 15% stocking fee applies for items made-to-order when returning for a refund. We expect you to understand the material used for sublimated products, shipment timelines, and the sizing charts to make sure your order will be as expected. Because each item is handcrafted exclusively for you, returns and exchanges—while available—generate unnecessary waste and environmental impact. The postage for the return and exchange to return to us is paid by the buyer. Any size exchanges are then shipped out to you free of charge. Please ensure that the item is in a new, unworn, and unwashed condition with the hang tags still attached. We reserve the right to refuse any exchange for these reasons. Before inquiring on a sizing issue or size exchange, we encourage you to double check the sizing on the products received and check them against our size chart. If the product falls outside of the stated tolerances, please reach out to us with images clearly showing the inaccurate sizes with a ruler. This is covered by our guarantee and may be replaced or refunded per customer preference. |

Disclaimer: Due to the handmade and hand-measured nature of our products, measurements may vary by 1–3 cm.
Tip Compare these to a shirt you own. If you’re between sizes, choose based on your preferred fit (roomy vs. tailored). Please see instructions below.
Fit & Tips
- Runs slightly big: The chest and length has extra room for flexibility and comfort. In most cases, order your normal unisex size.
- Fabric note: Our material is a four-way stretch, but we don't recommend you to take that into account. Additionally, the material does not shrink after washing and drying.
- For simplicity, our button ups and Hawaiian shirts have the same sizing, but please note that curvy shirts are completely different.
How to Measure Yourself
- Chest: Wrap measuring tape under your arms at fullest part. Divide the chest measurement by two to get the side-to-side width.
- Shoulder: Measure the width of your shoulders from one shoulder blade to the tip of the other while keeping the tape taut.
- Length: Starting from the base of the back of your neck, measure down your back to the point where you want the shirt to end.
- Sleeve: Starting from the tip of your shoulder, measure straight down your arm.
How to Measure a Flat Shirt
- Chest (Width): Lay the shirt flat and smooth out wrinkles. Measure straight across from one armpit seam to the other. (This number is already the half-chest width; double it if you want the full chest circumference.)
- Shoulder: With the shirt flat, measure from the tip of one shoulder seam straight across to the tip of the other shoulder seam.
- Length: Place the measuring tape at the highest point on the shoulder (where the shoulder seam meets the collar) and measure straight down to the bottom hem of the shirt.
- Sleeve: Start at the top of the shoulder seam (where it meets the sleeve) and measure along the outside edge to the end of the cuff.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.6 / 5 from 78 reviews.
I have been eyeing this shirt for almost a year. It’s been on my wish lists. In my carts. Saved to my favorites. But I never ordered because it was so expensive. Guys. If you’re on the fence. Get off the d@ng fence. These are handcrafted with love. These are shirts you wear until they are threadbare. I’m so glad I finally pulled the trigger on this. I have since bought two more. The circled area you see in my pic is the teeny tiniest of dye errors on the shirt. Guys they replaced my shirt. For that. Wasn’t even their fault it was in the dye lot of the fabric itself. The only thing better than these shirts is their customer service and support. Geek tropical customer for life!!!
Couldn't wait to wear this shirt as I love the representation of old arcade games and space!
The shipping was so fast and I love how this shirt looks. I think I'd order again.
I bought the shirt for my son, who attends the Retro Gaming Convention in Portland every fall. His birthday is usually about three weeks before the event, so I always look for vintage gaming attire. This shirt hit the bullseye.
A fantastic design to feel like you're taking the arcade with you!
Took measurements and ordered according to those yet they are too small
Great detail on pattern and comfortable
Fun shirt. Love the look and feel of it.
Great fit, just needed to order a size down from normal. Really comfortable and love the pattern.
I buy these for my son. He is a large man and a true geek so the pattern and size choice are fantastic. Customer service is outstanding.
Love all of these shirts. I've tried a few similar looking companies, but only these guys make a shirt that fits properly around the back shoulders for my size (I order 1 size up and it works for me). Very comfortable and an awesome design.
Fits great and he loves the design!
Shirt design was on point and perfect for a geek dad father's day present. Only issue was fabric was not very breathable despite what was written. It would get more utility if fabric was better.
Space Retro Arcade Button Up Shirt
Store owner replied: Thank you for your feedback and for choosing our shirt as a Father's Day gift! We're glad you loved the design. We use the best four-way stretch material available that is compatible with sublimation, ensuring vibrant, full-color graphics. The breathability claim is based on numerous customer reviews and testimonials. We appreciate your input and will continue to seek ways to improve our fabric for better utility. Thank you for helping us get better!
Love the print and size just right! Great shirt!
Pretty good
😎
Just slightly bigger than I expected. Bleeding on the screen print. Expected better quality. Price point doesn’t justify exchange or return.
Space Retro Arcade Button Up Shirt
Store owner replied: Thank you for your feedback, Adam. We're sorry to hear the shirt didn't meet your expectations in terms of size and print quality. Our shirts are designed with a 'regularaxed' fit, but we understand that everyone's preferences differ. We'd appreciate it if you could send us photos to better understand the issue with the bleeding you mentioned. Our shirts are created using a sublimation process rather than screen-printed, which typically ensures high-quality prints, so your experience has us curious. Rest assured, if anything falls short of our 60-day quality guarantee, we offer a refund or replacement without the hassle of a return. Please reach out to us with the photos at your earliest convenience so we can resolve this matter to your satisfaction.
Smooth delivery and came as promised. Love the colors and theme of this shirt!
Extra appreciated how well placed the pockets are, with regard to the print design. Perfectly matched!
Great shirt at a great price.
I ordered this for my son. He loved it!!! So many prints available. Perfect gift for anyone. I would definitely buy again.
I bought for a Christmas present and I hope he loves it. I do.
The fabric is great and the retro arcade print is fabulous. I get so many compliments on this shirt!
This pattern was my first Geek Tropical shirt and might be my favorite. Can't beat a classic. Anyone who has ever played a video game recognizes it, and I've gotten lots of compliments on it!
I get so many compliments!!!
Great shirts
The quality of the fabric and sewing is poor. The cut is unattractive, it fits like a plus size shop shirt. The fabric had pulled threads before I even wore it. The prints are cool, but not cool enough to compensate for the quality

Store owner replied: Hi Jason, thank you again for working with us on the photos, and we appreciated your feedback greatly. As mentioned to you in email, we have resolved the issues going forward and looking forward to seeing your thoughts on your next purchase. Cheers & Mahalo!
Loved the arcade like design, wanted something for casual Fridays at work. Great material and fit, would highly recommend.
I am honestly pretty disappointed with this shirt. It is clearly printed on white fabric, so the inside of the shirt is white - therefore you can't wear it open at all, because the white would show which looks crappy with it being a dark blue shirt. Also kind of hate the texture of the fabric that it is printed on. Overall, if I had touched this shirt in a store I definitely would not have bought it.
Space Retro Arcade Button Up Shirt
Store owner replied: Hi Katie, thank you for taking the time to write a review, and we're sad to hear of your disappointment. The printing process we use is called dye sublimation and is a process where inks are transferred onto raw fabric using heat. Dye sublimation is a popular printing process that enables the creation of full-color and high-resolution quality graphics, all qualities that are critical to our brand. There is no alternative to dye sublimation. If the design was woven into the shirt, you would have the design on both sides but you can't have the same high-resolution graphics and there is a limitation to a number of colors (around 5). We hope since we could not have done this differently you please reconsider the one-star review. We're not sure specifically what was wrong with the texture of the fabric but we're willing to listen if you have a moment.
Purchased for husband for his birthday. He really likes it! Comfortable and fun.
It’s ok
Great shirt!

Great looking shirt! Just wish it would button up. Hanging open is fine though.
Space Retro Arcade Button Up Shirt
Store owner replied: Hi Shannon! The Hawaiian shirts have a Cuban collar, a open collar without the top button. I think you would be more interested in our casual shirt/button down as it has a top button and does button all the way up to the neck. Please let us know if you have any questions about this. :)

This all started on Black Friday of last year. I ordered a shirt, it got lost for a time then about a month later arrived at my home. I realized it was a little small so I returned it for the next size up and that worked great! Thanks for great customer service and help!
Looks great. Exactly as pictured and correct sizing
High quality, and excellent customer service. They even expedited my order to make sure it arrived before the holidays.
Great help even over the holidays
