Sea Island cotton is the origin of all extra-long staple cottons and the reigning top-quality cotton used to be cultivated in the Caribbean, but was discontinued in the early 20th century due to devastating insect damage.
A century has passed since then. Thanks to modern agriculture, technological advances, and research into cultivation methods, Sea Island cotton has made a comeback in a limited area on the border between Texas and New Mexico in the United States. This "miracle cotton" was named "American Sea Island Cotton."

This is my new favorite dress shirt. It is substantial, and stays crisp all day long, even after walking to work. I have three or four of these, and I’m eagerly waiting for Kamakura to stock more in my size so that I can pick up a few new ones.

Excellent quality shirt
The fabric is lovely and the fit is excellent, at least for me (I'm 5'6 and 140 lbs for reference).
This shirt is everything you would expect from an Oxford. Very well constructed and the blue colour is brilliant! Could do with one extra button at the bottom.
the sizing is really weird. I ordered a 15 and a half (collar) as I usually do with other makers ... yes the collar size is perfect, but unlike any other 15+half shirt I own, the shirt is really over-sized and the sleeves are way too long!! Luckily it is pure linen, so hot-washing it 3 times shrunk it down to size. I would like to buy more shirts like this, but I don't need the surprises or the extra work!
