How’s the guayabera designed:
The
craftsmanship and details of a guayabera shirt is what makes this shirt so
classy and fashionable. Amongst the details that
give the guayabera its classic look are: two or four patch
pockets and two vertical rows of alforzas (fine, tiny
little pleats, usually 10,
sewn closely together) running along the front and back of the
guayabera. Also, the top of each pocket is usually adorned with a
matching shirt
button, as are tops and the bottoms of the alforza pleats.
At the bottom hem of each side of the guayabera
there’s a slid with two buttons. Guayabera is the
typical Cuban shirt representing the Cuban culture. The origin of the name
came from a legend , which tells about a poor country wife that would sew
large pockets in her husbands’ shirt for him to carry guava (guayaba in
Spanish) fruit home thus given it the name
guayabera (guayaba= guayabera )
