What only three years ago started as an idea, became reality when we presented the first line of polo shirts in 2008. Based on the adventurous life of J.P. Elderman, Ninefoot island casuals has grown to a brand of original shirts and is well known for providing quality products and services.

Ninefoot is named after the Ninefoot shoal where Elderman foundhis nine mammoth foot fossils and is in fact symbolic of the life of Elderman. He was passionate, enthusiastic and adventurous but ultimately, he lived a very quiet life. These are the qualities we would like to reflect in our clothing.

Ninefoot island casuals is not only about clothing. Just like Elderman our approach to life is a way of life in which plain and good food, a nice drink and plenty of friends to share it with have high priority. The way of life we adopted, and which became the Ninefoot state of mind..
