Regular price $185.00Originating in India, Madras check became a spring and summer staple of the American East Coast Ivy look in the 1950s and 60s. Its lightweight texture and harmonious layering of colors blended naturally into the wardrobes of students at the time, subtly expressing a sense of seasonality. This season, Kamakura Shirts has tailored a Madras check shirt using organic Indian cotton—designed to sit comfortably within the Ivy tradition. Crafted from lightweight, breathable poplin, it ensures comfort from spring through summer while maintaining a refined appearance that never feels overly casual. The pattern is based on traditional Madras checks, balanced in a way that makes it easy to incorporate into a modern, urban wardrobe.

*Please note:
I got the red shirt. The colors work really well together. The shirt is well made, fits well (true to sizing chart), and has become an instant favorite.
This shirt is another work of art. Looks fantastic and is just a super cool shirt. As I mentioned in another review, I ordered a full size up.
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.
absolutely top quality shirts love it
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.
