A special shirt filled with memories and stories
Reviving a selection from Kamakura Shirts’ 1990s archives, this shirt has been reinterpreted for today’s modern lifestyle and fashion sensibilities.
While faithfully preserving the original details, colors, and fit, we’ve updated the fabric and construction to meet contemporary standards.
The distinctive colors and patterns characteristic of the ’90s stand out beautifully, creating not just a reproduction but a piece that integrates naturally into a modern wardrobe.
About GIZA96
A type of Egyptian cotton, one of the world’s three great cottons. Among Giza cotton varieties (numbered in the order they were developed), GIZA96 is the newest extra-long staple strain.
Its fibers are rich in natural oils, giving the fabric a refined sheen and luxuriously smooth handfeel.
Origin
Produced in Nishiwaki City, Hyogo Prefecture, one of Japan’s leading cotton-weaving regions.
The fabric’s supple drape and graceful fall are achieved through the combination of skilled craftsmanship and a rich natural environment.
Fabric & Material Highlights
Woven from 100-count two-ply broadcloth (poplin) at the “golden ratio” of 144 warp threads × 76 weft threads.
Uses yarn-dyeing—a hallmark of “Banshu-ori,” the traditional weaving technique named after the historic Harima region during the Meiji era.
Unlike piece dyeing, where the entire fabric is dyed after weaving, yarn-dyeing colors the threads beforehand, requiring more time and cost but resulting in intricate patterns and a rich, nuanced depth of color.
Recommended Styling & Occasions
Business Style: Pair with a navy or charcoal gray suit and a silk solid or small-patterned tie for a classic, dignified office look.
Business Casual: Combine with a softly colored jacket for a refined yet relaxed outfit, perfect for smart business-casual settings.
Formal & Ceremonial: Match with a dark suit for weddings or parties—GIZA96’s smooth, elegant fabric elevates your formal attire with subtle sophistication.
