Regular price $190.00*This product is crafted exclusively for our Global Online Store and is not available in Japan.
Ametora is Japanese slang for “American traditional” — the East Coast collegiate style that forged the Japanese menswear industry in the 1960s. Our Ametora button-down offers an authentic recreation of the dress shirts commonly seen on Madison Avenue in the 1950s. The shirt body uses the looser fit of that era, and the long collar, at 3.5-inches, is perfect for wearing with a necktie and navy blazer or for staying visible under a sweater. Other Ivy-style details include a box pleat at back, gathered sleeves on barrel cuffs, and the widely spaced six-front buttons.
This linen is japanese woven fabric.
It is beautiful and natural as the fabric has a natural texture because it undergoes a natural finishing process.

*Please note:
Have a few Kamakura shirts now and like them all, but this linen one is the new favourite. The fabric is sturdy but has a softer hand feel than lesser quality linen while still draping nicely. The white is a creamy white, more wearable IMO than if it were a brighter white. And the Ametora cut, which people should know is a little roomier than the Vintage Ivy shirts, is comfortable and looks very classic.
the sizing is really weird. I ordered a 15 and a half (collar) as I usually do with other makers ... yes the collar size is perfect, but unlike any other 15+half shirt I own, the shirt is really over-sized and the sleeves are way too long!! Luckily it is pure linen, so hot-washing it 3 times shrunk it down to size. I would like to buy more shirts like this, but I don't need the surprises or the extra work!
I've worn this shirt all summer long. On its own and with a suit and it always looks great. The roomy fit is perfect for a linen shirt
The ametora cut is my favourite and I always hoped for a linen version! More colour options would be great.
Breezy fit and comfortable linen makes this perfect for hot weather. Love the classic details.
Perfect shirt
The sleeve shortening option is essential. How else can one get a neck and sleeve fit correct? So thank you. Is this service available for all of your Vintage Ivy OCBD's?
Hi Paul, we're glad to hear the sleeve alteration service has been helpful! Yes, this service is available for most of shirts. When placing your order, simply add the sleeve alteration service to your cart and indicate the desired sleeve length in the “Notes” section at checkout. Thanks for your support!
This jacket embodies everything that epitomises Ivy League styling, the cut the choice of colour and the quality of workmanship are all exceptional, and so too is the fit. I am so pleased that I discovered Kamakura!
The product received is spot on to the description. The material and the color are excellent. On sizing a small is a snug fit for me. If you want a more relaxed fit or plan to wear an undershirt get a medium.
