  Otero Menswear provides the best off-the-rack fit available. With our 3D Proportional Sizing methodology, we design clothes taking in to account your height, body type, and size. The length of the shirt, width of the collar, and even the button placket are proportionately sized to men up to 5'9". This 3D sizing allows for a more aesthetic appeal as the shirt looks properly proportioned to the individual’s body and provides a superior fit to typical “off the rack” menswear. Otero Menswear is about clothing that is fashion forward and smart; impressive while reserved and professional. Our classic polos, tees and jeans are contoured to your body - visibly leaning and lengthening. Every stitch, collar, and seam is intentional, designed to help you embrace what makes you, you—confidently and in style. The finest materials, designs and manufacturing processes, along with high end accessories complete the offering.It is time to once again be “Anything but Average.” Otero Menswear: a Better Way to Dress for men up to 5’9”
