A New Jinbei, Crafted with the Spirit of Tailoring by Kamakura Shirts
"What happens when a shirtmaker designs a jinbei?" This is our answer — a jinbei that blends traditional Japanese elements with the elegance of Western-style clothing. Every detail, from the fabric to the design and stitching, reflects the craftsmanship of shirt-making, offering both refinement and comfort. A truly Kamakura Shirts take on the jinbei, perfectly suited for summer in the city.
Fabric Highlights Made from breathable, smooth-textured linen for a cool, comfortable wear even in the heat of summer. The fabric’s natural lightness and airiness feel great against bare skin, providing a relaxed and natural feel.
Design Details The silhouette draws inspiration from traditional samue patterns but is tailored to be more streamlined and summer-ready. The top features three-quarter sleeves and an open hem (no elastic), ensuring excellent airflow. Two handy patch pockets are placed on the sides. The pants have a flat front waistband with elastic only in the back for a clean look. Slits and ties at the hem allow for an adjustable fit.
Styling Suggestions Throw it on over a T-shirt for a laid-back summer outfit. The pants are easy to wear on their own — ideal for relaxing at home. Also perfect as one-mile wear (short trips around the neighborhood). This jinbei brings a modern yet traditional charm to summer in Japan.

This Jinbei is amazing. It's incredibly comfortable and versatile. The shorts are capri-length and can be worn solo with a t-shirt if desired. They even have a zipper as opposed to most drawstring style shorts which is very convenient. In spite of being drawstring waist they also have elastic so they fit comfortably and well all the time, even with a cell phone in your pocket.
The jacket / top piece is also incredibly well made. It has an internal tie and and external tie to hold it in place. Plenty of pockets.
Both pieces are amazing material and quality. Very cool and light for the warm weather but still have a nicely structured appearance.
Fit is likely a size up for US buyers (I normally wear a "Large" but bought XL and it fits great).
It isn't easy to find a fine-gauge cotton sweater, and this one is great. My husband and I (F) both bought multiple sweaters. The fit is relaxed like in the picture, and the waistband allows you to cinch it higher on your hips.
Pros:
- The color for the green and navy sweaters was exactly as shown
- It really does resist odors
Cons:
- The description says to hang dry after washing, in our experience this caused the sweater to stretch. I would suggest drying flat instead.
- There was some variation in the actual size of the garment, the navy we received was smaller than the green.
Wonderful quality as always from Kamakura, with the amazing attention to detail the Vintage Ivy collection is renowned for. A true classic and sure to become a staple of my winter and autumn wardrobe.
I recently picked up the French Work Jacket Kamakura and I'm very impressed. The quality is excellent, and the fit is spot-on—it has that perfect slightly baggy, relaxed workwear silhouette. Highly recommend for a comfortable and stylish jacket!
