Easy to Wear, Easy to care for.
The guayabera shirt is lightweight, fresh, and easy to care for. The main goal of this shirt is comfortable, and this is what you get. A combination of cotton and polyester is blended to archive a balanced approach. Too much cotton and you will have to Iron more; too much polyester and the fabric may be hot.
The fabric composition of these Clerical guayaberas is 65% Polyester and 35% cotton. The overall result is a lightweight fabric that won't stick to your body or makes you hot in summer with the benefit of not needing to iron.
Four front pockets on a shirt may look overkill, but they are other clothing items with similar features, such as Safari jackets. Our experience, these shirts are comfortable and one of a kind. The pockets are one of the main factors that makes them so unique.

We designed this clerical guayabera shirt to fit and work with the tab collar (Roman Collar) and full collar (Anglican collar).
We did the tab collar function by creating an opening on the collar to slide a clerical plastic to archive the roman collar look as for the Anglican collar the shirt features two button openings on the front and one the back to accommodate for these full collars.

Collar size for the clerical guayabera: S- 15, M-16, L-17, XL-18, 2X-18 3/4, 3X-19, 4X-21
We measure these shirts from the exact point where the button is to the middle of the buttonhole (see Image); this means that there is at least 1/2 inch wiggle room on every size. In other words, you can move the button to gain that extra inch need it.
