Fabric & Construction
This guayabera is built from a 65% polyester, 35% cotton blend, chosen for event performance. Polyester (65%) provides the structural memory that keeps the shirt looking pressed through long occasions, resisting the creasing that develops in natural-fiber shirts over hours of wear. Cotton (35%) softens the hand feel and adds breathability, reducing the stiffness of an all-polyester fabric against the skin. The result is a shirt that holds its shape in warm weather, maintains consistent sizing through repeated washing, and requires no dry cleaning.
The construction follows authentic guayabera standards. Alforzas pleats run vertically along the front and back panels, a hallmark of traditional guayabera design that adds visual structure to the silhouette. The four-pocket layout, two chest and two lower, reflects the functional tradition of the style worn across Latin America and the Caribbean as formal attire. Embroidered detailing along the placket adds a finishing element that distinguishes this shirt from plain alternatives. The straight hem is cut to wear untucked, the guayabera's defining silhouette. Long sleeves close with a clean cuff without visible seam bulk.
