Cuban Officer's uniform captured on Grenada. It may look Soviet in design, but this is Cuban manufactured. Notice the short sleeves.

I find it interesting the use of four pockets on the shirt it is almost a casual style for wear outside the trousers, a really neat post Thank You.

Bill,

To me, it is very much in the style of the Guayabera shirts that are popular for wear in the Caribbean and Central America. I think this shirt was meant to be worn outside the pants and was a nod by the Cubans to the fact that many claim the Guayabera originated there. Thanks for your comment.

Interesting bring back. Ironic in that we weren't really eager to acknowledge the extent of Cuban involvement at the time.

Exactly, a style that continues today
