R.I.P. Ramon Puig, king of the guayabera — Megan Cytron Like

Shopping for a Guayabera That's a Cut Above the Rest in Miami, FL

When Ramon Puig, a gifted tailor, lost his shop in Cuba and smuggled his best pair of scissors to Miami, he surely never dreamed that he would one day be king. Yet through skill and hard work, he built up a pocket-sized empire making and selling this humble working man's garment. The guayabera is the world's most comfortable, amply pocketed, and corporally forgiving shirt. The walls of this Little Havana institution are lined with photos of US Presidents and celebrities dropping in for a four-pocket hook up and some Calle Ocho cred. Get one off the rack or invest your time and money in a custom-fitted work of wearable art.
