The so-called “Ivy” style began with students at American East Coast colleges experimenting with sportier, dressed-down versions of gentlemanly British wardrobes. A perfect example is the unstructured suit jacket, which takes the sturdy fabrics and classic silhouettes of a British sports coat and makes it more casual with light construction and no shoulder pads. Kamakura Shirts’ version of this jacket is based on the preferred style of university students in the Fifties, coming in English gray herringbone wool tweed from Abraham Moon & Sons or a Japanese navy corduroy. Both can be dressed up with proper slacks and a necktie or dressed down with jeans. All of the details are pure Ivy: natural shoulders, a narrow three-inch lapel, a three-roll-two front closure, no front darts, a patch pocket on the chest, patch-and-flap side pockets, and a center hook vent at back.

Love this jacket and the ivy details. That being said, I have a few small critiques that I'd like to see addressed on future jackets:
1. I wish the arm holes were higher, they restrict movement quite a bit.
2. I wish the Medium size were an inch or so longer. The length is acceptable, but slightly short for my height and taste. The Large size was much too big in the body and sleeves too long for me, so that wasn't an option either.
All things considered, this is a very well made and attractive jacket, and I'm thrilled that Kamakura is making these with such a keen eye for details.
Dear Nicholas,
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you love the jacket and its details. We'll consider your suggestions on the arm holes and length for future designs. Your support means a lot to us—thank you!
It isn't easy to find a fine-gauge cotton sweater, and this one is great. My husband and I (F) both bought multiple sweaters. The fit is relaxed like in the picture, and the waistband allows you to cinch it higher on your hips.
Pros:
- The color for the green and navy sweaters was exactly as shown
- It really does resist odors
Cons:
- The description says to hang dry after washing, in our experience this caused the sweater to stretch. I would suggest drying flat instead.
- There was some variation in the actual size of the garment, the navy we received was smaller than the green.
Wonderful quality as always from Kamakura, with the amazing attention to detail the Vintage Ivy collection is renowned for. A true classic and sure to become a staple of my winter and autumn wardrobe.
I recently picked up the French Work Jacket Kamakura and I'm very impressed. The quality is excellent, and the fit is spot-on—it has that perfect slightly baggy, relaxed workwear silhouette. Highly recommend for a comfortable and stylish jacket!
