Description

Contrast thread pleating and a printed cotton accent on each chest pocket give this 100% linen short sleeve guayabera presence without losing the easy linen drape. Two front pockets and traditional alforzas pleats stitched in a contrast tone anchor a clean spread placket. Offered in three colorways: White/Blue, Pink/Pink, and Blue/Navy.

Why You'll Love It

• Pure linen breathability — 100% linen body keeps airflow moving in heat and humidity
• Contrast thread pleating — alforzas stitched in a complementary tone for a custom-tailored detail
• Printed pocket accent — a subtle floral print panel inside each chest pocket adds personality
• Two functional chest pockets — clean placement, sized for sunglasses or a passport
• Three colorways — White/Blue, Pink/Pink, and Blue/Navy cover both classic and bolder takes

Fabric & Construction

The body is woven from 100% linen, the same long-fiber flax we use across our heritage guayabera line. Linen breathes harder than cotton and dries faster after a humid afternoon, which is why it has been the warm-weather fabric of choice across the Caribbean and Yucatan for generations. The hand starts crisp and breaks in toward a softer drape with each wash.

Four rows of alforzas pleats run vertically down each side of the front, stitched in a contrast thread that picks up the trim color. Two patch chest pockets sit at the bib, each lined at the opening with a printed cotton panel for a flash of color when the pocket sits open. The collar is a clean spread style, the placket is reinforced, and side vents at the hem keep the shirt sitting straight whether worn loose or tucked.

How to Style It

• Wear with white linen pants and leather sandals for a classic island-evening look
• Pair the Pink/Pink with stone-colored resort trousers for a rehearsal dinner or daytime garden ceremony
• Layer the Blue/Navy colorway over a white tee for casual weekend errands — sleeves rolled, untucked
• Browse the rest of our guayabera collection to coordinate with travel companions

• Tumble dry low or hang dry to keep the linen drape
