Kamakura Shirts x Local Temple Collaboration: The Ultimate ZEN WEAR (SAMUE) for Everyday Wear
The "Ultimate ZEN WEAR (SAMUE)," which sold out instantly on a crowdfunding platform, is now available on the official Kamakura Shirts online store!
Developed in collaboration with a local temple, this Zen Wear (SAMUE) reflects feedback from those who wear it daily as work attire. It combines the comfort, functionality, and ease of movement expected from traditional Zen Wear (SAMUE) with Kamakura Shirts' dresswear tailoring techniques, resulting in a sleek silhouette.
The adjustable cuffs allow the sleeves to be quickly rolled up, making it practical for household tasks like cooking, cleaning, laundry, or gardening. Zipper pockets and hip pockets offer convenient storage for essentials such as a wallet or smartphone, perfect for quick errands.
The pants can also be worn separately as casual wear, offering versatility.

It isn't easy to find a fine-gauge cotton sweater, and this one is great. My husband and I (F) both bought multiple sweaters. The fit is relaxed like in the picture, and the waistband allows you to cinch it higher on your hips.
Pros:
- The color for the green and navy sweaters was exactly as shown
- It really does resist odors
Cons:
- The description says to hang dry after washing, in our experience this caused the sweater to stretch. I would suggest drying flat instead.
- There was some variation in the actual size of the garment, the navy we received was smaller than the green.
Wonderful quality as always from Kamakura, with the amazing attention to detail the Vintage Ivy collection is renowned for. A true classic and sure to become a staple of my winter and autumn wardrobe.
