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 (-5[1])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 (10[1])counterpart to muumuus. For 10 points, name these informal dress shirts that might feature floral patterns (10[1])evoking a tropical state. ■END■ (10[1])
