Vintage Otto Kern Silk Shirt
This is the standout piece of any collection. A Welcome by Otto Kern long-sleeve silk shirt with a cinematic, large-scale Egyptian panoramic print — ancient temple columns, hieroglyphics, a golden sphinx, tropical banana leaves, and elaborately decorated pharaoh figures, all rendered in a rich palette of grey, red, gold, blue and black across the full garment.
Every panel of this shirt tells a different part of the story. The collar underside reveals an entirely different section of the print — red, gold and floral — making it as impressive open as it is buttoned. Pearl buttons throughout, button-down collar, long sleeves with single-button cuffs, and a relaxed fit with a luxurious silk drape.
Otto Kern is a respected German fashion house — this is designer vintage at a fraction of its original price.
One of a kind. Once it's gone, it's gone.
