Product Description
This stunning vintage handwoven men’s jacket from Todos Santos, Huehuetenango, Guatemala is a rare and authentic example of traditional Mayan textile artistry.
Handcrafted with thick, richly textured cotton and intricate embroidery, this jacket was designed for warmth in the cool Guatemalan highlands. The detailed, vivid geometric embroidery showcases the expert craftsmanship and cultural heritage of Todos Santos — one of the few regions where traditional men’s clothing is still worn today.
