Otto is a unisex shirt with a relaxed fit. It features a single chest patch pocket and buttoned cuffs. The collar can be replaced with seven other compatible shirt collars that are sold separately.
Cotton with a dense poplin weave and linen have very little stretch and will be perfect for the Otto shirt. Thick and rather rigid ones, such as milleraies velvet or flannel, will keep you warm. For a more flowing effect, you will need a flexible fabric : silk, viscose or crepe (but not too thin). You can also mix and match different types of fabric, as well as textures, prints... Have fun!
