Plácido Benavides was an early Mexican-born settler in De Leon's Colony, and earned himself the nickname of the "Paul Revere of Texas" for his 1836 journey from San Patricio to Goliad to Victoria, warning residents of the approaching Mexican army. The Tejas Guayabera is the Texas Standard take on the popular south-of-the-border shirt of champions -- the guayabera. We've taken the lineage from our Standard Short Sleeve into our Tejas Guayabera, bringing along our hallmark features like a hidden button-down collar, untuckable length, and custom-cut feel, paired with the classic stylish side vents, detailed pocked embroidery, and double-breasted pocket. Our Tejas Guayaberas are made with a lightweight, breathable cotton/linen blend and are the same fit as the Standard Sport Shirt -- and as always, not too slim, and never boxy.
