What does cross-stitch embroidery look like?

Cross-stitch is built from small X-shaped stitches set side by side, which creates a band with a hand-worked, textured look. On this guayabera the bands run beside the pleats in a color that contrasts with the linen: cappuccino on white, white on black and navy on red. The effect is traditional and festive, and it stands out clearly in family photos.

Is the black version solid black?

Yes, the body is solid black 100% linen, with white cross-stitch embroidery and a white inner collar for contrast. It is one of the few black linen guayaberas Mojito Collection makes, and it looks sharp at an evening party or a holiday dinner. Wash it cold, inside out, with dark colors, and dry it out of strong sun to keep the black deep.

How does it compare to other Mojito Collection embroidered linen guayaberas?

The Mojito Collection Tonal Cross-Stitch guayabera uses the same stitch in the body color, for a quieter look. This Contrast Stitch style puts the embroidery in a second color and adds a contrast inner collar, so the detail reads from across the room. It is also offered in sizes S to 4XL, where the tonal style runs S to 2XL.

Can I order matching guayaberas for the family?

Yes. With sizes from S to 4XL in three colorways, this guayabera works for a group photo, a family reunion or a holiday dinner where everyone wears the same style. For each person, order the size of the dress shirt he wears most; a large in dress shirts means a large here. Mojito Collection offers free 30-day exchanges on items not marked Final Sale.
