History of the Guayabera towards the end of 1800, the guayabera was the clothing of the yucatecans of upper class, who bought it in his frequent trips to Cuba in the famous store El Encanto. With the rise of Castro in the 1960s, things changed, and several Yucatecan businessmen, seeing that they still had great demand, decided to manufacture them by themselves. From the 1960s until 1985, were so popular local, national and worldwide, that there was a tremendous increase in the number of factories of guayaberas. The yucatecos, known for being very clever, created other models and bought sewing machines from the United States, creating a large industry. Came to the point in which the following slogan became very popular: "Yucatan is the gateway to the Mayan world and Mérida is the capital world of the guayabera". The Japanese bombed the market with cheap imitations made in Taiwan and Japan. Locals could not compete with this, so little by little, many factories closed. The few that remained, continued manufacturing quality guayaberas and added other items to its lines--clothes for children, casual wear, uniforms, etc. At the same time that the Japanese flooded the market, the President of Mexico, Luis Echeverría Alvarez, who preferred to primarily the guayaberas in his travels, ended his six-year term. Pledge of Cuban origin, but "nationalised" Yucatan since long ago, the guayabera cobra boom these days among American youth and gradually "spreads" fashion to young Mexicans. In Yucatan, traditionally the garment has been reserved for the Lords and young people who use it are very few. Currently, the guayabera opens step in the taste of young people of the neighboring country to the North, due, apparently, to a rock band wears the garment in your presentations. Fashion is beginning to reach the Mexican beaches and the city of Mexico, where some young people wear guayabera shirt to go out clubbing or other evening events. (Translated by Bing)
