I have been wearing Kamakura Shirts exclusively for almost 10 years. Incredibly good quality and great fit. It's nice to know that the focus is on genuine craftsmanship and a commitment to traditional shirtmaking.
The shirt exceeds my expectations. I’m genuinely surprised how well it fits - very flattering. Takes a little effort to wrap one’s head around the Japanese method of measuring but I’d say worth the time with fit results like this.
Wonderfully made, quality feel, and the ecru is a versatile colour. Looks amazing with dark jeans and brown boots.
I’m 5’10” and 185lbs with a 44” chest. the ecru (51)/ 16 1/2 fits like it was tailored for me. Room to move. When moving arms to extremes no pulling. Just the right length for tuck. And just the right amount of space midriff down to waist for those of us past our slim fit days. Hands down my best shirt purchase in many years.
