yeah...(I agree)
When I zoomed out, the QUALITY of that shirt is sh!t (compared to most all others - that are only white-on-white), but I like the pattern.

I like guayabera shirts. I have owned a few, and will likely own some again. They are quite common in our neck of the woods, even more common south and west of here. Many older Hispanic men wear them regularly, saving the nicer ones for Sundays and family functions. If they were the uniform for Sunday matinee orchestra concerts, that would be fine with me.

Here in Germany most amateur and semi-pro bands/orchestras do not longer insist of men in suits (choirs still do! With special coloured bow ties/ long ties). In most cases all-black is OK, no matter if it is shirt only or jacket or even fleece (in cold churches). But after a concert in a black shirt I change like to change clothes, because the black shirt was from the 1920/30s on a piece of dresscode for fascists. For this I do not feel too comfortable wearing one. In my semi-pro symphonic orchestra I have introduced wearing (black) bermudas with a short sleeve collarless shirt (a bit like the guayabera) and black sneakers for the summer open air concert. First time I got strange looks from the conductor and some older players, but the following year I was still hired and after some years now I am not longer the only one. As long as women are allowed for short shoulderfree summer dresses and open sandals I feel OK this way.
