The crocodile shirt was renamed from the original crocodile brand.
Crocodile, also known as "crocodile shirt", is a clothing trademark registered by Germans in Hong Kong in 1911. After Germany was defeated in 1945, the crocodile shirt brand was confiscated by the Hong Kong authorities. In 1952, the Chinese Chen family took over the crocodile brand and officially named it "Crocodile Shirt". Crocodile shirts are now part of the Lam Group family of Hong Kong Lai Sun Group. The company entered the clothing and leather goods market in mainland China in 1987 and has achieved impressive results.
