Very nice looking shirt. I wore it to my grandson graduation. The color was great and the embroidery looks nice in the graduation photosThis shirt is exactly as described. It fit well. Glad we didn't order a larger size as some suggested. The large was a USA large. The embroidery lines up exactly as it should and the fabric is sturdy for it's fiber content. Several reviewers stated it was too thin and one could see through it, but these shirts are traditionally worn with an undershirt in Cuba. My spouse had notissues with that. There were several short threads that needed clipping, but not a big deal with so many threads used to do the embellishments. Before wearing we washed it on gentle and hung it to dry. It did not "wrinkle", but due to so much stitching an iron touch-up would make it look perfect. It has a more casual look without a touch-up. Laying it flat to dry and "finger pressing" as it dried might improve certain areas. It is common for this many sections of stitching to slightly shrink or stretch in spots, but it is no big deal. Very please for the money!The shirt looks good enough, workmanship seems good, but it fits too big on me. I normally wear a medium in any kind of shirt, and the fit is typically OK. I am 5'11'' and weigh about 153 pounds, 35" waist, 15 & 1/2" neck. This shirt in a medium hangs off my shoulders a bit, and is considerably too large for my torso. If I just gained about 20 pounds, that would help with the fit, but I'm going to return the shirt instead.It got shipped to my place next day with Amazon Prime. It came rolled up. I usually hate ironing but, didn't mind it too much on my new Guayabera. I had to iron it on my first wear. After a wash, it looks like it's good to go with no more ironing. I thought the medium Guayabera fit me perfectly. You can't beat the price. Only one girl told me she hated Guayaberas but, thought it looked nice on me. She said they are for old people. It looked good on me and I am almost old. It should be good for many years to come! :)I really like this shirt. The style is very nice w/o being 'loud'. The fabric is med-light, which is my favorite. The pockets are all real, but the buttons on them are just for looks. It fits as other large shirts do.My only dig is that it doesn't have tags inside showing fabric type, country of origin nor laundry instructions.I bought this shirt for a wedding in Mexico and am very pleased with it. It's a bit larger than I expected - I ordered a medium and it fits more like a large - but it looks and feels great. Just the right price too. We had to buy one for my son in Mexico and found one at a Walmart in Mexico City for the same price as I paid on Amazon, about $21.00 US.I would have loved it even more if it didn't have the waist pockets. I bought a pure white one to dress up a pair of jeans to wear to a class reunion. It is lightweight and very comfortable. When worn untucked it is extremely good looking. I will probably buy another in a different color to expand my wardrobe a tad. Very nice shirt and you can't beat the price.I have worn this type of shirt for many years. This shirt looks great. Only problem I had is that the package had a forklift tire print on it when I received it. :-)
