King of the Guayabera

Ramon Puig is the King of the Guayabera. The Cuban native and longtime Miami resident has been making the classic Cuban shirts for over 60 years and has designed for the likes of Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr. and Denzel Washington.

The four-pocket guayabera earns its name from the Spanish word Guayaba, meaning fruit. Cuban men traditionally wore the shirts on their way to harvest fruit and used its pockets to tote goods home. Step inside Puig’s world in our video below.
