Description:

Yucatecan men stay cool and elegant in the peninsula's hot and humid weather by wearing the distinctive guayabera, which originated in Cuba. Some of the finest cotton and linen button-up shirts are found at Guayabera Jacks, one of Mérida's oldest and respected manufacturers. Gentlemen choose from many models, including the basic Ulises short-sleeve shirt, which retails for USD $31.72 or Mexican Pesos $425. The long-sleeve Jose Luis shirt, made from Italian linen with mother-of-pearl buttons, costs USD $111.94 or Mexican Pesos $1,500. Women's clothing ranges from the simple to the elegant. A Japanese linen short-sleeved, pleated blouse sells for USD $33.58 or Mexican Pesos $450. The most refined woman's outfit available is the traditional white cotton Terno, a two-piece ensemble with hand-embroidered silk flowers costing USD $186.57 or Mexican Pesos $2,500. The guayabera's slogan: "Yucatán is the door to the Mayan World and Mérida is the capital of the guayabera."
