My son and I have purchased 4-5 ties from Kamakura over the last several years. Most are from the Yamanashi collection. This collection is some of the finest ties we have ever worn; the silk, the patterns, the workmanship are first rate. I am 68 he is 29. He also wears your shirts and they are a cut above. I'm a little harder to fit. haha. But we know quality when we see it.
