Is this guayabera dressy or casual?

It sits in between. The tonal pleats and two chest pockets keep the traditional guayabera look, so it is neat enough for church, a family dinner or a christening reception. The short sleeves and simple, single-color design make it just as easy on vacation or at a backyard party. White is the dressiest of the three colors; apricot is the most relaxed.

How cool is 100% linen in hot weather?

Very cool. Linen fibers let air pass through the weave and dry quickly when you sweat, so a linen guayabera feels lighter than cotton or polyester in the same heat. The short sleeves add to that. Linen does crease with wear, which is part of its relaxed look; hang it after washing and the worst creases fall out.

How does it compare to other Mojito Collection linen guayaberas?

Many of the new Mojito Collection linen guayaberas add contrast buttons, stitching or embroidery. This Tonal Pleat Two Pocket style keeps every detail in the body color, with pleats front and back and a point collar. It is the simplest of the new short sleeve styles, and like the Piped Pocket guayabera it is offered from S to 4XL.

What size should I order for my husband?

Order the size of a shirt he already wears comfortably; if his favorite shirts are XL, choose XL. Linen has no stretch, so if he likes a roomier fit or is between sizes, go one size up. Sizes run from S to 4XL. Mojito Collection offers free 30-day exchanges on items not marked Final Sale, so swapping a size is simple.
