ORIGINS

The origins of the Cuban collar shirt are traced back to its roots in Latin America, particularly in Cuba. Also known as the "revere collar" or "open collar," this style emerged in the early 20th century and gained popularity in warm climates due to its relaxed and breathable design. It was initially a practical choice for the heat, offering an open neckline and short sleeves.

The specific black Cuban collared shirt, as seen in films like West Side Story, represents a fusion of Latin flair and American urban cool. The shirt style became an icon of '50s fashion, symbolising a rebellious and vibrant spirit. The film, set in the streets of New York, showcased the dynamism of youth culture, and the black Cuban collared shirt became a symbol of the characters' edgy style.

In West Side Story, this shirt was not just an item of clothing but a statement of identity. The black colour, combined with the distinctive collar, reflected a blend of elegance and defiance. This fashion choice transcended its functional origins, transforming into a symbol of rebellion and individuality.

Today, our Black Cuban Collared Shirt pays homage to this rich history. It's a contemporary interpretation of a classic style, embodying the timeless coolness that originated in the streets of New York and the Latin influence that shaped its roots. The pleated chest pockets and side seam vents nod to the practicality of the past while maintaining a modern, urban aesthetic.
