Regular price $45.00Dress shirts were originally undergarments, thus it is a rule in the West to not wear undershirt under a dress shirt. At Kamakura Shirts, we take it as an obligation to follow the rules of international standards, but the hot and humid summers of Japan recently are impossible.
For this reason, we accepted a challenge to develop a high-class undershirt that keeps shirts nice and clean even during the hottest and most humid days. This is not just an undershirt, but an undershirt designed by Kamakura Shirts, the dress shirt experts.
Our experts have integrated all the knowledge of shirt making to crafting an undershirt pattern.
The cutting around the neck is according to the button position of the shirt and the opening of the collar. Other things like durability, sleeves that reduce stress, adjustment of length, and addition of special deodorant process...
There is over 30 things that were considered in making this special undershirt.
One of the most particular things we considered was the color: beige and gray.
We recommend beige with white shirts and gray with blue shirts:
White & Beige to prevent transparency // Blue & Gray to prevent staining (e.g. sweating).
As for the material, if it is cotton 100%, it will take too long to dry and too thick.
We mixed polyester to get a lighter material and also the quick drying effect.
In order to feel as though you are wearing the shirt on your bare skin, the collar, hem, and cuffs are all seamless.
Cut-off ® (Gunze patented technology)
Water absorption, quick drying, and special deodorant processing
1. Sleeve Shape
The sleeves get narrower in order to reduce wobbling and discomfort.
2. V Line Design
In order to prevent the neck line from stretching, the seam is sewn on the inside.
3. Neckline matching the button position on the shirt
The neckline bottom position matches the position of the third button of a Kamakura Shirt.
4. Hem Cutting
The hem in the back uses a cutting technique that works together with the movements of the upper body to prevent it from climbing up.

Love the deep V and flat seams. Lightweight fabric but can be a bit clingy depending on the shirt fabric

Trim fitting, thin fabric, perfect design for undershirt. Wish it had a higher long staple cotton content. Still, I am buying more.
Love this jacket and the ivy details. That being said, I have a few small critiques that I'd like to see addressed on future jackets:
1. I wish the arm holes were higher, they restrict movement quite a bit.
2. I wish the Medium size were an inch or so longer. The length is acceptable, but slightly short for my height and taste. The Large size was much too big in the body and sleeves too long for me, so that wasn't an option either.
All things considered, this is a very well made and attractive jacket, and I'm thrilled that Kamakura is making these with such a keen eye for details.
Dear Nicholas,
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you love the jacket and its details. We'll consider your suggestions on the arm holes and length for future designs. Your support means a lot to us—thank you!
The fit and color of these socks is better than what I had expected and by the way, I expected a lot. The crew color is beautiful and the fit of the socks is excellent. I have worn them with jeans and I have worn them with khakis and with a variety of style of shoes And the added touch that they add is terrific. I suggest you buy all three colors and buy multiple pairs of each. You will find them in rotation often I love the quality.
Was originally excited to purchase from Kamakura.
In fairness, the shirt is well-constructed. The stitching is very tight, and many little details (buttons, reinforcement, etc.) is well done.
I purchased the shirts after having someone take my measurements and, importantly, seeking the input of a representative of Kamakura. It was recommended to me by the Kamakura representative to purchase the shirts in New York Slim fit a size smaller than what my measurements and gut said.
Upon receiving the shirts, I was disappointed to learn that they were a bit tighter than what I was hoping for. Under the pecs and the shoulders were just tighter than anticipated.
The most unfortunate part is the return policy. While knowing that return shipping is to be the responsibility of the purchaser, upon inquiring with various shipping companies, I quickly realized it is cost prohibitive (well over the cost of a single shirt) to send my not-quite-right shirts back to Japan from Canada.
Ultimately, I’m now stuck with several beautiful shirts that don’t fit exactly right.
Purchasers take the fit and sizing with a grain of salt.
Dear Mr. E.P.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced with the fit of your shirts. Our size suggestions are based on our personal experiences and general guidelines, but we understand that without seeing you in person, it’s not always perfect.
Regarding the return shipping fee, we are aware of the challenges it presents and are actively working on developing a more reasonable return procedure. We greatly appreciate your understanding and patience as we strive to improve this aspect of our service.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and please know that your voice is important to us as we continue to refine our processes.
Best regards.
Taking a cue from another reviewer’s testimony (of similar proportions), at 6’0 175lbs., I opted for the size 16. (Looking for a bit more of a fitted silhouette.) In this shirt, the choice was spot on. Dare I say typical…[probably more apropos to say, as expected], Kamakura/Japanese quality. Not a missed stitch.
This is the perfect Fall alternative to the pressed cotton white shirt.
this will be my wedding day shirt, so glad I found this operation. I look forward to buying more in the future. I've never had a pre-sized shirt fit so luxuriously.
