No one wants a fish head splattered across their chest — that's why we created our very own Not a Fishing Shirt. Your kids will live in them, like ours do.
165 GSM, 100% polyester, dry fit. A light summer-weight knit — the UPF50+ comes from the fabric itself, not a finish that washes off.
Cold gentle wash, no softener, no dryer. The UPF50+ comes from how tightly the fabric is knitted, so anything that damages the fibres slowly reduces the protection.
Our kids' shirts are true to size for everyday wear — size up for a looser fit or room to grow. Full measurements in centimetres for sizes 2–14 are on our kids fishing shirt size chart.
Also available as a baby romper with press studs, and in a matching ladies shirt.
$10 flat-rate standard shipping Australia-wide. Free standard shipping on orders of $120 or more. Express shipping $20.
We ship within Australia with Australia Post (tracked). Orders are dispatched within 3 business days (please allow 7–10 business days during sales and peak periods).

Need a different size? Exchanges are treated as a new purchase, so we recommend ordering the size you need now to secure it, then returning the original.
Final-sale and clearance items are not eligible for change-of-mind returns.
No restocking fee applies. Email hello@mwcac.com.au with your order number and we'll provide an appropriate remedy and a prepaid return label where required.

I’m obsessed - just gone back for a second order, these shirts are great quality, excellent price and gorgeous colors. I love twinning with my girls!! 💕
Both my girls absolutely LOVE their fishing shirts! They wear them fishing, to the beach and basically everywhere. So cute and practical. And I love knowing they’re protected from the sun while having fun! 10/10 from me!
I bought this shirt for my daughter, to keep in our caravan for our trips away. She uses it for swimming, general wear, everything. It's SOOOO pretty and is really hard wearing, so great value for money ❤️
My son lives in his fishing tops but when we bought the twins one they hardly wore them because they didn’t like the fish. Until one day these popped up on my socials and I showed them and straight away they begged to have one. I thought well they are cute and definitely practical so I said yes. Best decision ever!!!! Now they love their not a fishing top because they are pretty and comfortable and they don’t have to wear sunscreen! Win win for mum!!!
