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.
I’d been eyeballing this blazer and a similar style from J.Press for awhile now.
I pulled the trigger, actually ordered it in both 40 and 42 not knowing which would be best.
I’m 51 years old, 5-9-1/2in and 195lbs
The size 40 is perfect in every way, not too tight or too loose, sleeves and length all perfect.
I even took it to two tailor shops and both said it was spot on.
I haven’t been this happy with a menswear purchase in years and I’m a huge menswear guy.
I’m confident you’ll love this too. I feel like I could walk into 1959 Princeton right now and fit in. Sadly probably as a professor!
Great overshirt! Never experienced heavy linen before and it's great. Doesn't wrinkle as much as less heavy ones. Would be awesome if Kamakura shirts offered more heavy linen clothing such as trousers, etc. And some more information of the fabric, like g/m², in the description. Will definitely buy more!
Just purchased my 3rd Ametora OCBD - they are absolute perfection in terms of cut and comfort and the delivery service from Japan is excellent. I cannot recommend them enough.
Very happy with this blazer.
Classic shape and style and the unlined transparency makes it perfect for summer.
Well done Kamakura !
