The On Deck Popover works best with medium-weight woven fabrics that hold their shape while offering softness and ease. We recommend:

• Matchy's Custom Printed Twill – for playful prints and just-right structure
• Bull Denim – for a sturdier, more utilitarian feel
• Workwear Twill – for a classic, hardwearing outer layer

Avoid overly lightweight or drapey fabrics, as they may not support the Popover’s silhouette.

Notions

• Coordinating thread
• 6 buttons 7/8" (22 mm)
