Colt45 Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 At euro 250, I won't be attempting to acquire one any time soon, but I'm curious to know if any members have one, or have seen one in their travels, and what they might think: http://www.robaina-guayabera.com/ Since the FOH Guayabera has gone the way of the dinosaur and personal firearms in Australia, a well made, well fitting, affordable alternative might be in order.....
CIGARHead Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 That is beautiful, but for that kinda dough, I'll buy what Rob is sellin'.
aavkk Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Im sure Miami101 can back me up when I say that you can get some unbelievable guayabera's on 8th street in Little Havana. I forget the name of the shop but I just know where it is. Wearing one in NYC in the summer makes me feel like Im at home.

Austin, don't take this the wrong way, but I thought of you shortly after I posted this. I figured you might be one of the style conscious members who might spring for something like this..........:-D » Bet it doesnt cost that much in Cuba! If you can get them in Cuba! » Im sure Miami101 can back me up when I say that you can get some » unbelievable guayabera's on 8th street in Little Havana. Can you get them in linen or linen / cotton? And not to sound to girlie, do they make them somewhat fitted? More info appreciated if / when you can provide it - thanks for the heads up!

Selection of fabric is extensive. His work is beyond compare, and likewise is not cheap. You will not be disappointed.
Colt45 Posted March 8, 2008 Author Posted March 8, 2008 Thanks Caddy, I checked their website - if I ever visit, I'll probably be buying off the rack

It's sleeveless shirts, jeans and flip flops for me.
SONNY1 Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 I've bought many guayaberas from www.mycubanstore.com. They have pima cotton as well as linen/cotton blends
bikeguy1 Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 I've been buying guayaberas from Penners http://pennersinc.com/ for a couple of years. Although it's $US125, their 100% linen is fantastic! They also have cotton, and blends
justinphilly Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 you simply CANNOT beat the quality, and prices of the shirts here.. http://www.mycubanstore.com/page/MC/CTGY/best_guayabera at those prices, buy 3
