A truly excellent shirt. Flattering in fit without being overtailored, sturdy yet breathable cloth and immaculate quality of detail and finish. A premier garment that thoroughly justifies a premium price; I shall be sure to buy another!

I ordered the M211S0259B Chambray through Kamakura’s made-to-order service and I’m very satisfied with the result. This is exactly what you hope for when investing in a custom shirt.
The chambray fabric is the first thing you notice — soft, with a beautiful texture and a subtle depth to the weave that you simply don’t get from off-the-rack alternatives. It drapes well, breathes comfortably, and feels like it will only improve with wear and washing.
The fit is spot on. The made-to-order process was straightforward and the result speaks for itself — clean lines through the shoulders and chest, with just the right amount of room through the body. It sits perfectly whether worn tucked or untucked.
The ordering experience itself was smooth and well-organised. Kamakura clearly knows what they’re doing — the process felt considered, not rushed, and the shirt arrived in excellent condition.
Overall a very satisfying purchase. This is a brand that takes shirting seriously, and it shows in every detail of the finished garment. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quality chambray that will earn its place as a wardrobe staple.
I had an appointment at the DC location. Outstanding customer service. I was fitted in a sizing shirt, measured, and after a few questions, do I wear a watch, how do I like waist, etc, my shirt size was set. We moved on to cloth selection. I was able to look at many sample swatches and choose the fabrics for my shirts. The entire experience was great. When my shirts arrived they fit perfectly and the craftsmanship is phenomenal. Compared to other dress shirts, the seam construction and fabric quality are of much higher quality. These shirts will last a long time. I look forward to adding more into my wardrobe.
This sweater does everything I wanted it to do and more. Casual or dressy. Cozy but never hot. An heirloom quality piece to last my lifetime and for one of my kids to inherit and enjoy. Thank you Kamakura Shirt for your good taste, and intentionality in quality execution.

I own about a dozen Kamakura OCBD, and at least 5 in the Vintage Ivy series. An extra button at the bottom of the front placket would be great for taller people, but that's just a nice to have. The shirts get better with washing, except the NAVY one. The color fades (to be expected) even with cold washing and air drying. I find it makes the shirt a little less attractive than the others. It's a common problem with dark navy cotton garments after repeated washing. I will buy more Vintage Ivy shirts for sure, just not this color.
