The 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.

It was the first time for me to buy Kamakura's spread collar shirts. I have always loved the cutaway collar, but recently, no combination of the cutaway collar and double cuffs was available. Therefore I ordered two of this.
The spread collar is not bad, but the point length is too short. In my opinion, a spread collar is more elegant when the points are covered by the jacket; the points of this particular collar are not so. Spread collars with exposed points may be considered fashionable in some pars of the world, but do not complement an average gentleman's visage as well as a generously large one does.
In addition, the interlining of collar band is fused to the outer side, unlike the Kamakura shirts that I had previously purchased.
Other than the collar, the shirt is well-cut and well-made per usual.
From the cloth to the fit and the last detail, Kamakura Ivy are the real deal. Very pleased with the shipping.
I’m 6 foot 215 and I usually a wear a 16/16.5 slim fit. I ordered the size 42-86 in Tokyo slim and the sizing is PERFECT. Not too tight but a very flattering fit. I wear all different designer brands and the quality on these is just as good especially at this price point it’s a bargain compared to what’s out there. I bought 10 different shirts and they’re not my new go to shirt that I can wear dressed up with a suit or a pair of jeans. Huge fan!
I ordered this and one other shirt. I'm 6'1" 175, athletic build, the 41 fits like a glove (maybe a hair on the small side–I won't dry them). For being 100% cotton they're super soft. Stitching is perfect. Most of the shirts in my wardrobe are cheaper than these, but for a classy occasion these are worth the price.
