In the mid-1950s, disobedient Japanese teenagers from elite families in the Shōnan region became notorious for their freewheeling beach-bum lifestyles. With the 1956 debut of the controversial film, Season of the Sun, they became known as the “Sun Tribe” — and their signature fashion look of aloha shirts became the defining fashion trend of that era.
As tribute to the Sun Tribe’s influence on Kamakura culture, we offer the Shōnan Shirt — a short-sleeved open-collar shirt in Japanese-woven, extra-heavy linen. The shirt body comes in a relaxed fit equal width at chest and waist, with a five-button front, plain back, and a three-inch vent at bottom. The spread-collar closes with a loop. The Shōnan Shirt is perfect for throwing on after a dip in the ocean or surviving a blazing hot summer day in the city.

My husband loves this shirt!
This was a birthday present for my husband, he wanted something with natural fibers that fit well for the hot summer months. He tried it on today and absolutely loves it. And it drapes so nicely on him! He usually wears a large in tshirts but the fitting said medium, so that's what I ordered – and it fit absolutely perfectly.

Get your normal size
I thought it would run small, but a normal medium is the right fit.
I own custom fit shirts from Proper Cloth and the fit of this shirt is eerily perfect. The linen fabric is beautiful. It pairs perfectly with a sueded feeling linen suit I bought from “Cobb Syder.” Please keep sourcing high end fabrics made or non synthetic fabrics.
My first Kamakura shirt. The sizing is a bit strange. The body fits well but the sleeves are quite wide relative to the body. The cuff buttons are placed too close to the edge, making the cuff opening rather wide. The quality looks good but I was genuinely disappointed with the overall sizing. Also, there does not seem to be an option to go without pockets.
The small (14 1/2) just fits. Definitely worth sizing up if you have a bigger build. Shirt is quality out of the box. Time will tell if it shrinks and/or holds up.
