Question
An association of these garments with death, as in a scene of gang members shooting beer cans off each other’s heads from the film Sonatine, originates from one nicknamed for the death of a Montgomery Clift character. A Filipino word for friend, “bayau,” names a style of wearing these garments like the barong. Designer variants of these garments, which were first trademarked by Ellery Chun, were the specialty of Alfred Shaheen and of the company Tori Richard. A red one of these garments, which are the most popular items made of (*) palaka, is worn by the tour guide Chad Gates in a musical film titled after a “Blue” state. Traditionally, these garments are worn on the last day of the work week, bear kapa designs, and act as a masculine counterpart to muumuus. For 10 points, name these informal dress shirts that might feature floral patterns evoking a tropical state. ■END■
