Depends what you call "traditional". The guayabera shirt is claimed to be originated in Cuba or Mexico. I can tell you the Traditional Cuban guayabera shirt is traditionally designed with 4 pockets on the front, alforzas or pin tucks running on top of the pockets from top to bottom. The Cuban shirt has three rows of alforzas on the back with a triangular shape on top of each row; I've heard this symbolizes the Cuban flag. The Traditional Cuban guayabera does not include any embroidery and has decorative buttons on each of the pockets. The bottom of the shirt also includes a design similar to the top triangular shape where the alforzas originate. I hope this description helps since it is hard to describe this shirt with so many details. You can visit mycubanstore.com and look for linen Guayaberas.

What is the best souvenir from Mexico?
I think the best souvenir from Mexico is something that has to do with the culture its self. Jewelry or maybe some type of clothing. Choosing the 'best' souvenir would also depend on what part of Mexico you are visting. Here in Yucatan, for example, you might want to buy a traditional Mayan dress, (huipil) or a guayabera shirt.
