Short sleeve shirt with 2 large pockets

[uncletim]

How about a very lightweight short sleeve shirt with 2 large pockets maybe zippered for hot humid weather? needs to breathe well and hold a passport etc.

snaps can be better than buttons that fall off.

If you can't find such a two-pocketed lightweight t-shirt to buy, perhaps you can hire someone with suitable talent to sew you such a garment. Or, add pockets to a nice t-shirt.

I don't think the OP specified tee shirt. Or even knit.
It's reasonably trivial to add zipper patch pockets to a woven "camp shirt" which is a short sleeve, loose fitting shirt with collar. It's a little trickier to make the pockets be in the side seams, and it might be less comfortable with in seam pockets.
Medium size pouches can be hung off of pack straps. A suitable cargo pocket short would have someplace to tuck (zipper bagged) passport and credencial. Better if each thigh has its own cargo pocket so the phone camera can go in the second one. Hip pockets bend when you sit down, this can destroy bus pass cards if you put them there. And the larger phones might just jump out of a too shallow hip pocket.
Broadening the question a little may prove useful to you.

Some military kit is coherent with that description -- sometimes even in light colours too !!

I wear one of these. Vented back, long sleeves, UV protection, lightweight, quick drying and good sized pockets that hold passport, credencial and cash etc. The do seem to have gone up in price since I bought mine though. https://www.bcf.com.au/p/columbia-men’s-bahama-ii-long-sleeve-shirt/M64667201.html?dwvar_M64667201_color=Fossil&cgid=BCF060505#start=2

I like the Ex-Officio "Air Strip" style shirts. They have roll-up sleeves with a tab to hold the rolled up sleeve in place. The two front pockets are very deep, and there is a third zippered pocket.

The collar is designer to be worn up, to protect your neck from sun. The entire garment has a ZPF 30 or 50 rating IIRC.

The shirts are cut straight across the bottom to facilitate being worn as an outer garment. I customarily wear one of these when flying, as I can roll the arms down for warmth. They are light enough for summer wear and are machine washable.

I have found, in decades of traveling globally, that these shirts are also suitable for wear with a blazer, when tucked in. Just sayin. I have even worn one with a tie to a business meeting.

Hope this helps,

I used to have one of these Exofficio shirts, left at the Khao Sok Rain forest. interesting not on their site now.

having sleeves to roll down on a flight could be helpful, I spend a lot of time in SE Asia when not walking the Camino, short sleeve might be better.

still searching around...

Sounds fine for small money but I'd never carry my passport in anything that accessible. A good pickpocket could have that in their hands in about 15 seconds flat. I carry credit cards, big cash, and passports next to my body, under my clothes, in a money belt.

Exactly.

 

[uncletim]

yeah, I doubt I would carry my passport on the top pocket of the shirt, just looking for something with extra storage. nothing so far...
