Fabric & Construction

Cotton (20%) provides softness against the skin and natural airflow. Polyester (80%) contributes wrinkle resistance and shape retention. The combined result is a fabric that feels softer than full synthetic alternatives while holding its structure far better than natural fibers alone.

Four structured welt pockets sit in the classic guayabera configuration. Embroidered alforzas run continuously from collar down both front panels to the hemline. The spread guayabera collar sits flat without ironing. The straight hem falls at the hip, designed to be worn untucked.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, this Mojito Collection guayabera runs true to size with a classic fit that provides comfortable ease through the chest and torso. A Medium measures 45 inches at the chest with a 30-inch body length, and a Large measures 47 inches at the chest. If you prefer a more tailored look through the shoulders, size down one. If you have a broader chest or plan to layer underneath, size up for extra room. Sizes run from Small through XXL.
  • The 65% polyester, 35% cotton blend is specifically chosen for wrinkle resistance. The polyester content provides shape retention that keeps the shirt looking pressed through long events, humid conditions, and travel. Unlike 100% linen, which develops natural creasing throughout the day, this cotton blend guayabera holds its smooth finish for hours without ironing. Machine wash cold and line dry to maintain the best results. A few minutes in the dryer on low heat smooths out any travel creases.
  • Absolutely. The guayabera has been recognized as formal attire across Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Philippines for over a century. A white or light blue Mojito Collection guayabera paired with linen trousers and leather sandals creates one of the most polished looks for a beach or destination ceremony. The embroidered alforzas and four-pocket construction give the shirt a structured, dressy appearance.
  • The cotton-polyester blend feels smooth, soft, and lightweight against the skin. Cotton provides natural breathability and softness, while polyester adds subtle structure that prevents the fabric from clinging in humidity. Compared to Mojito Collection's 100% linen guayaberas, this blend is smoother and less textured. Linen offers a crisper, more natural hand feel with greater breathability in direct sun, while this cotton blend prioritizes wrinkle resistance, easier care, and a polished finish that lasts all day.
  • Mojito Collection's Classic Cotton Blend Guayabera features traditional four-pocket welt construction with embroidered alforzas, the same hallmarks found in guayaberas at higher price points. This shirt comes in 14 colorways and sizes S through XXL. Both brands offer cotton-polyester blends for wrinkle resistance and easy care. Mojito Collection offers free U.S. shipping on orders over $100 and a 30-day return window on unworn items.
  • Alforzas are the signature vertical pintuck pleats that define authentic guayabera construction. On this Mojito Collection guayabera, embroidered alforzas run continuously from the collar down both front panels to the hemline. This pleat pattern originated in Cuba and has been a hallmark of guayabera craftsmanship for generations. Alforzas add vertical structure to the shirt's silhouette and distinguish a genuine guayabera from a standard camp collar or resort shirt.
  • This guayabera is available in 14 colorways: Aquamarine, Banana, Black, Burgundy, Gold, Khaki, Light Blue, Lime, Navy, Pink, Royal Blue, Red, Rust, and White. Lighter tones like White and Light Blue work well for beach weddings and formal events. Deeper shades like Navy, Burgundy, and Black are ideal for city dinners and evening occasions.
