Regular price $120.00The topic of how cotton affects the environment has come up for a couple of years now. Although it is a natural material, cotton requires large amounts of water and chemicals to produce cotton fabrics. There are also the human rights issues surrounding cotton that have been brought into the spotlight.
However, as a shirt making company, we depend on cotton. At Kamakura Shirts, we want to change the way we approach the production of our shirts while still considering the global environment. We want our customers to be at ease when they wear our shirts. And that is why we started to create a functional shirt for the shirt-wearers on the go, without compromising the quality of our products
The part of the fabric that comes into contact with the skin is made of 100% cotton, so the comfort and textures are not inferior to those of ordinary cotton shirts. The premium cotton from India and the luxurious cotton from Australia, which is known for its whiteness, is blended together to create an original cotton thread. We tested this fabric under the skin irritation test to check the formalin content and found the number to be small. Surprisingly, the number approaches the level required for a baby's underwear.
Usually, for wrinkle-resistant/easy care shirts, it is obtained by spraying chemicals such as special coating and/or resin on the surface of the fabric, but it causes the texture to feel rough and uncomfortable. However, the same easy-care fabric can be obtained by the structure of the thread itself.
*This shirt has not been ironed. Only washed and dried.
Although there is polyester, as the cotton is wrapped around the polyester thread, it has a gentle cotton texture that is not inferior to the comfort of regular cotton fabric. This is because we use 100% high-grade cotton and the very white Australian-made-cotton is blended with the outer cotton. This reduces the amount of bleach (chemicals) and amount of water used for cleaning. Fewer chemicals and less water.
Although cotton has a high water absorption rate, it takes time to dry. This PALPA® fabric dries three times faster than a cotton 100% shirt. This is because the outer cotton absorbs the moisture, and the polyester inside helps it dry fast. The effect is the same if you dry it in the room.

*Please note:
I have used this shirt on many formal occasions and I enjoy the luster, design, and collar of this shirt. The only negative is that is a little more difficult to iron than other shirts but in comparison to other Sea Island Cotton shirts is not that difficult.
The quality of the shirt is high, I enjoy the luster of the Sea Island Cotton line but I have realized that the problem these shirts usually have is that they wrinkle easily and are more troublesome to iron, this one is not an exception.
I own many shirts of the premium line but this one is the one I have the most trouble ironing even between other Sea Island Cotton shirts. The fabric is thick and has a nice feeling but after a little use, it starts to accumulate many noticeable wrinkles on the sleeves and I have read that many others have the same problem with this shirt. I would only buy again this shirt to use it only as layering and not by itself.
I have bought a great variety of shirts in the premium category and this one is one of my favorites. I have used it for many months now and feels good under the sun, light, and at close has an elegant look but without looking too flashy at a distance.
The bad part is that it is quite difficult to iron in comparison with other shirts of the premium line. If you are looking for a nice formal summer or spring shirt I would recommend this one.
Impeccable quality! Will definitely get more from Kamakura!
