About this design
The Bastos band-collar shirt is cut long, falling below the hips, with an open band collar, a chest pocket and two large patch pockets. It has the ease of a tunic and the sharpness of a shirt. Over jeans it instantly looks put-together; with matching trousers it becomes a ceremony outfit. The collar and pockets can take a different fabric.
The longer the shirt, the more its proportions matter: pocket height, overall length and hip width need to match your body. Made to your measurements by a Douala tailor, it hangs straight without flaring or clinging. The KOUTIVA team checks the collar, pockets and finish before delivery, so it arrives ready to wear.
Styling tips
- Wear it over raw or black denim with loafers: simple and stylish.
- In White bazin riche with matching trousers, it becomes a bright ceremony outfit.
- A Sky blue chambray collar and pockets on a White poplin body add a subtle detail.
- Always wear it untucked: the length is made for it.
Choosing your fabric
White poplin and Sky blue chambray suit everyday wear and the office, Beige linen is great for hot days and travel, and White bazin riche is the pick for ceremonies and church on special occasions.
