What is "Shōnan"? 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 Shōnan Shirt is perfect for throwing on after a dip in the ocean or surviving a blazing hot summer day in the city. With some few changes, the Shōnan Shirt now features four buttons on the front and two pockets on the bottom of the shirt.

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!
