100% Linen Classic Four Pocket Guayabera Shirt Long Sleeve
Product Description
Mojito Collection's classic long sleeve guayabera is built from 100% linen with four functional pockets, continuous alforzas pleats, and a spread collar that sits flat without pressing. The garment-washed linen arrives soft from the first wear and continues to improve with every wash. Available in 16 colorways from white and champagne to turquoise and red, sizes S through 2XL.
Why You'll Love It
- 100% premium linen — Natural flax fiber that breathes in tropical heat, wicks moisture away from the body, and develops a softer hand feel with every wash. No synthetic resort fabric delivers the same cooling performance in Caribbean temperatures.
- Four functional pockets — Two chest pockets and two lower pockets in the authentic guayabera configuration, sewn to traditional proportions. Heritage styling with practical storage for travel, events, and everyday wear.
- Continuous alforzas pleats — Traditional vertical tuck pleats run from collar to hemline on both front panels, creating the structured vertical lines that define genuine guayabera construction. This pleat detail is the hallmark that separates an authentic guayabera from a standard linen button-down.
- 16 colorways — One of the widest color selections in the linen guayabera category, from formal staples like white and black to resort tones like turquoise, aqua marine, and mint.
- Machine washable — Cold gentle cycle, line dry, done. Linen actually gets softer with every wash. No dry cleaning necessary.
- Long sleeve refinement — Button cuffs that can be worn closed for formal occasions or unbuttoned and turned back for a relaxed resort look.
Fabric & Construction
This guayabera is crafted from 100% linen sourced for consistent weight and warm-weather performance. Linen is built from hollow flax fibers that create natural air channels, drawing heat away from the body and allowing sweat to evaporate rather than absorbing and clinging to the skin. Mojito Collection's linen is garment washed before cutting, which breaks down the initial stiffness of raw linen and delivers a broken-in softness from the first wear. Minimal additional shrinkage occurs after purchase. The fabric weight is substantial enough to avoid transparency in lighter colorways including white, off white, and champagne, while remaining light enough to drape naturally without stiffness across the shoulders.
The construction follows traditional four-pocket guayabera architecture with alforzas pleats running continuously from the collar down both front panels to the hemline. These vertical tuck pleats are structural, not decorative: they add front-panel stability that allows the shirt to hang straight and untucked without shifting or bunching. Four pockets sit in the classic guayabera configuration, two at the chest and two at the lower front, positioned to traditional guayabera proportions. The spread collar sits flat and structured without ironing. Long sleeves are finished with button cuffs. The full-length button placket runs from the collar to a straight hem that falls at the hip, designed to be worn untucked following traditional guayabera convention.
How to Style It
- Beach wedding: White, champagne, or off white colorway paired with natural linen trousers and leather sandals or loafers. The guayabera is recognized as formal attire across Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Philippines. Browse Mojito Collection's weddings collection for coordinated pieces for the full party.
- Resort dinner: Navy, turquoise, or mint with white chinos and woven slides. The four-pocket silhouette reads elevated at a dinner table without needing a jacket. Explore the men's resort wear collection for complementary vacation pieces.
- White party or Le Diner en Blanc: White colorway styled with linen pants for a clean tonal look. The structured alforzas pleats keep the all-white combination looking polished rather than casual.
- Weekend elevated: Any colorway with dark denim and clean leather sneakers. Leave the cuffs unbuttoned for a relaxed drape. The straight hem and pleat structure wear naturally from a boardwalk to a rooftop dinner.

Fit & Care
Classic fit with comfortable ease through the chest and torso, cut to wear untucked in the traditional guayabera silhouette. True to size for most builds. If you prefer a slimmer line through the shoulders, size down one. If you have a broader chest or plan to layer a base layer underneath, size up.
- Machine wash cold on gentle cycle with like colors
- Line dry for best shape retention, or tumble dry on low heat
- Wrinkle tip: 5 minutes in the dryer with a damp towel removes creases without ironing
- Linen gets softer with every wash, that is a characteristic of genuine flax fiber, not a flaw
- Pre-washed fabric minimizes additional shrinkage after purchase
Natural linen develops a relaxed texture throughout the day. This is a sign of genuine linen fiber, not a defect. A light steam before wearing restores the smooth finish in minutes.
