Regular price $150.00"Jazz on a Summer’s Day," a documentary set on the East Coast of the United States in the 1950s. The film features many scenes of jazz musicians and audience members wearing finely checkered shirts. Inspired by the fashion of people who colored the jazz scene of the era—icons like Miles Davis—we’ve modernized that style into a shirt made with breathable seersucker fabric, perfect for staying comfortable even in the height of summer.
Fabric Highlights
The seersucker fabric has a textured surface that minimizes contact with the skin, offering excellent breathability and quick-drying properties.
Keeps you feeling fresh and comfortable even in sweaty, humid weather.
Lightweight, wrinkle-resistant, and practical for everyday wear.
Design Features
Button-down style that blends classic charm with just the right touch of casual flair.
The small 1cm x 1cm check pattern evokes a vintage vibe while maintaining a refined look.
Styling Suggestions
Pair it with shorts to channel a timeless jazz festival look.
Combine with denim or chinos for a sophisticated, urban casual outfit.
Perfect for music festivals, strolling around town, or relaxing at a café.

*Please note:
Kamakura continues to construct the highest quality shirts on the market today. The seersucker check (Gingham) is absolutely perfect. Color and fit is spot on, as always. Here's hoping you create additional checks in other colors (marine blue please!).
When I saw this shirt on Instagram, I thought I should buy it. However, it was out of stock at the time, so I waited patiently.
Eventually, I found it available on a website and placed the order. When I received the shirt and wore it, it turned out to be perfect.
A fantastic shirt with a timeless Ivy style. The seersucker fabric is lightweight, breathable, and perfect for warm weather, while the construction and overall quality are excellent.
For sizing, I'm typically between a European 39/40. I chose a 16½ for a more comfortable, relaxed fit, and it was exactly what I was looking for. If you prefer a roomier fit rather than a tailored one, sizing up worked well for me.
Versatile formal trousers with excellent fabric, tailoring, and overall construction. I'm very happy with the quality and fit.
For sizing reference, I normally wear a 34-inch waist. Based on my previous experience with Kamakura, I usually size up by one, so I ordered a size 50—and it fits perfectly.
If you're between sizes , consider sizing up. I'll definitely be buying more colours in this style.
As an older fella who’s enjoyed (or been underwhelmed by) OCBDs from shirtmakers over the years (e.g., Troy Guild, Brooks Brothers, Sero, Mercer & Sons, Jake’s (London), Drake’s, O’Connell’s, Individualized), this Kamakura AMETORA shirt is a valentine to what a classic OCBD is supposed to be; it definitely checks all the boxes: full cut, unfused placket/ cuffs/ collar, the correct placket width, medium weight cloth, and a collar-roll as god intended (and few makers get right). Great sizing, too: i typically get a 15.5 X 33 shirt and this 15.5” turned out to be perfect in the sleeves for me. More color options, please.
Usual bespoke user. Apart from bespoke, best quality shirt that I have tried. Is my first purchase and won’t be the last. Thanks!
I was a bit reluctant to make this purchase because I couldn't decide whether the Medium or Large would be the best fit. For items like this, I would normally buy a Medium. For reference, I'm 6'2" and 165 lbs. After going back and forth - and reading that this garment is intended as an overshirt - I decided on the Large size. Lucky for me, the fit is perfect. It's not too big. It drapes beautifully, and the design, with its simplicity and clean lines, is exactly what I was looking for. I'm hard to please when it comes to clothing. Purchasing online is even more daunting. Ordering internationally without a return policy felt like a real bet. However, I made the bet, and I'm very happy that I did. I've had it for less than a week and have received multiple compliments from multiple strangers, which is unusual - more of a testament to its beautiful simplicity.
