These are the only costume pieces I have heard nothing about. I am almost certain they were a custom made shirts for the movie, but I could be wrong. Are there any sources for this?

I’ve searched for the shirt before but never found any information about it. The folks at Secret Cinema made this replica for their production last year (not too accurate but definitely looked the part from a distance):

If you really wanted to replicate them, you could make the pattern in Photoshop and send it to "Fabric on demand" and have someone sew the shirt from the printed fabric?
 
The beige and green shirt appears to have a seam and a distortion in the repeat in the same place as the supposed Shah shirt. Maybe the pattern is just more random than I presumed but maybe it could be a clue. I reckon that shirt could be store bought and then altered later to fit Marty's style. It also looks like what I portrayed as dots are actually tiny text. It doesn't really make sense they would cover it with the green and black rectangles so maybe those were added later.
