The boring bit: Delivery from Japan was fast and seamless.
About the shirt:
I've been wearing OCBDs for over a decade at this point from various makers. I now regard this as the benchmark because it's a quantum leap above the rest. The cloth is satisfyingly heavy and yet beautifully soft. The roll on the collar is delightful and the cut of the shirt itself is roomy without being baggy allowing you to move without hinderance. The end result of this is a shirt that is comfortable enough for a lazy Saturday and yet smart enough for the office.
I’d been eyeballing this blazer and a similar style from J.Press for awhile now.
I pulled the trigger, actually ordered it in both 40 and 42 not knowing which would be best.
I’m 51 years old, 5-9-1/2in and 195lbs
The size 40 is perfect in every way, not too tight or too loose, sleeves and length all perfect.
I even took it to two tailor shops and both said it was spot on.
I haven’t been this happy with a menswear purchase in years and I’m a huge menswear guy.
I’m confident you’ll love this too. I feel like I could walk into 1959 Princeton right now and fit in. Sadly probably as a professor!
Great overshirt! Never experienced heavy linen before and it's great. Doesn't wrinkle as much as less heavy ones. Would be awesome if Kamakura shirts offered more heavy linen clothing such as trousers, etc. And some more information of the fabric, like g/m², in the description. Will definitely buy more!
Just purchased my 3rd Ametora OCBD - they are absolute perfection in terms of cut and comfort and the delivery service from Japan is excellent. I cannot recommend them enough.
