Marine Corps Guayabera shirt w/ coffee and palm embroidery. Linen. DS&G. Med.

Rare, custom made Marine Corp linen guayabera shirt with the Marine Corps insignia, as well as unique embroidery of a coffee cup, possibly a Rum cup, a palm tree and a pineapple. Most likely, this shirt was made for a group of marine serving in either Guam, Hawaii or other tropical location.

The label states DS&G which stands for Defense Supply & Garrison, a company that has been a contractor and supplier of military uniforms, apparel, and gear. They’ve produced Marine Corps, Army, Navy, and Air Force uniforms, as well as custom and commemorative clothing (like deployment or unit shirts)

Marines have a strong culture of camaraderie, and shirts often blend official insignia with fun or location-specific motifs (especially in overseas deployments or tropical duty stations).

The cup and pineapple/palm tree could reference a particular unit’s time in the Pacific, Caribbean, or another tropical posting where “pineapple drinks” and coffee/rum are part of the local culture.
