Premium Shirts
For over 30 years since its founding, Kamakura Shirts has been dedicated to pursuing high-quality products. While we pay close attention to technical aspects such as patterns and tailoring, we are particularly passionate about "materials" and "threads."
With carefully selected materials from around the world and specially developed threads unique to our company, we offer the kind of attention to detail that only a specialty shirt store can provide.
Executive Presence
High-Thread Count Dress Shirts
As the threads become finer, their delicacy increases, leading to a higher thread count. Generally, a count of 80 or above is considered "high-thread count," a standard for luxury shirts.
At Kamakura Shirts, we offer a wide range of threads tailored to different purposes, from 40-count threads used in casual shirts like Oxford fabric, to what we proudly consider the finest in the world—400-count threads.

The Origin of All Extra-Long Staple Cottons American Sea Island Cotton
American Sea Island Cotton (U.S.-grown Sea Island cotton) is the pure heir to the DNA of the original Sea Island cotton, the foundation of all existing extra-long staple (luxury) cottons. Its appearance and feel are often compared to "silk" or "cashmere" due to its elegant, luxurious texture. With only 0.01% of the world's cotton harvest coming from this rare breed, Kamakura Shirts proudly offers a wide variety of this exquisite cotton in its collections.
World’s Three Major Cottons - GIZA96
GIZA96 is a variety of Egyptian cotton, referred to as one of the world’s three major cotton types. Among the Giza cotton varieties, which are numbered in the order of their development, GIZA96 is the most recent strain of extra-long staple cotton. It contains a high amount of natural oils, giving it a rich luster and a smooth texture that is truly appealing. The woven fabric has a firm feel, providing an exceptional wearing experience that makes you stand tall when you put it on.
Enveloping Softness - SUVIN GOLD
This ultra-long staple cotton is carefully cultivated and hand-picked on designated farms in South India. Hand picking ensures that the cotton bolls are undamaged, allowing them to arrive at the spinning factory in a soft state. The type of cotton used is "SUVIN." Among these, only the first and second pickings, which absorb the best nutrients from the soil, are awarded the title "GOLD." This cotton is characterized by its softness, flexibility, elegant luster, and beautiful color vibrancy. It has been spun into a fine 150-count yarn, offering a luxurious wearing experience unique to high-count fabrics.
