The Cuban shirt, which has long been worn in Central and South America, has been reproduced in the style that was popular in the 1950s.

The Cuban shirt was worn in the Caribbean and Mexico before the war and was so popular that it was even used for ceremonial occasions and as a uniform for civil servants.

This loose open-collar shirt jacket features four large pockets. There are pleats on each side of the front and one at the center of the back. There are seasonal embroidery and family crests on the pleats. Sometimes embroidery is included.

In the 1950s, when Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas in the Caribbean, was popular as a tourist destination, the Nassau jacket was a popular jacket worn there. The origin of the Nassau jacket is a long-standing tradition in the region. It was a Cuban shirt.

So, Dry Bones has reconstructed the Cuban shirt based on the Nassau jacket from the 1950s.

This open-collar shirt jacket has a wide V-zone and features four large pockets and two vertical pleats in the front and one in the back.

This item is made from a refreshing cotton material with horizontal stripes woven into it, so decorative embroidery has been eliminated.

The back of the dress has darts on both sides in addition to the pleats in the center. Together with the shallow V-shaped yoke, this allows for ample movement of the shoulder blades.

The buttons on the front and pockets are made of genuine 15mm-wide oak shell. These buttons are large for a shirt, making it look like a jacket.

Wearing two-pleat trousers as the bottoms is the way to go for a resort-like look. Also, pairing it with shorts and a straw hat makes it an advanced summer event look.
