A Collaboration Between Kamakura Shirts and a Local Temple
The Ultimate Samue for Everyday Life
Developed in collaboration with a local temple, this samue by Kamakura Shirts reflects the voices of temple staff who wear work garments daily. Made with “BALANCIRCULAR” fabric, known for its refined appearance and resistance to losing shape, the garment also features stretch for added comfort.
Designed with both the functionality and ease of movement expected from a samue, it also incorporates the high-level tailoring techniques cultivated in Kamakura Shirts’ dresswear, resulting in a sleek, elegant silhouette. The subdued brown color adds a sophisticated touch that blends seamlessly into everyday life.
The main fabric is linen, a natural material known for its breathability and softness. It feels pleasant against the skin and offers year-round comfort.
The sleeves are designed with gathers, allowing you to easily roll them up—perfect for housework, gardening, cooking, and other daily tasks. Functional details such as a zippered pocket and a hip pocket allow you to carry essentials like a wallet or smartphone, making it convenient for quick errands. Despite its simplicity, the attention to detail makes it suitable for various everyday situations.
The pants can be worn as part of the set or on their own. With their refined design and the natural comfort of linen, they’re also ideal as relaxed casual wear.
