Very good quality silk, well made, excellent value for money.

My wife purchased this shirt (in red) as a Christmas gift for me. I own a Kamakura OCBD from the Vintage Ivy Collection. So I was fairly confident on the size. In most shirting, I am a 16 1/2, 35. Based on the measurements provided on the brushed cotton twill, my wife ordered me a large. When the shirt arrived, the shirt was not only too small, the fit was extremely awkward: the sleeves were too short; the collar was too tight; and the hem hung awkwardly around my navel (much too short). While it would not generally have been a huge issue to exchange the shirt for a larger size, Kamakura's charges for return shipping are outrageous. They do not offer exchanges, which means I would have had to return the shirt and then order another one. To return the shirt, Kamakura deducted 40 dollars from my refund, and would have charged me 20 more dollars to ship me a new one. That means that, to return the shirt and order a shirt that fit, I would have to spend 80 dollars in shipping. If the replacement shirt didn't end up fitting, I would have had to return it and be charged another 40 dollars in shipping. I have never encountered a more outrageous return policy. If you purchase a shirt, and want to exchange it, Kamakura should cover the shipping. I did not end up ordering a replacement shirt as I did not want to spend 80 dollars in shipping to get a shirt that fit! Because the measurements provided by Kamakura were not accurate, I ordered a shirt that was too small and ended up paying 60 dollars total in shipping to return a shirt and not get a replacement. For that reason, I will not be ordering any further Kamakura products in the future and would not recommend anyone else doing so unless you are cool with paying outrageous shipping to return your shirt.

I bought two Vintage Ivy tab collar shirts after seeing Kamakura recommended on Instagram and reading about tab collars in Graham Marsh’s book. The tab collars make such a difference. I was on a work trip to Milan (during fashion week as well) and didn’t feel too out of place without having to go to any extra effort

Beautiful fabric, great construction & fit. Fits as listed in the size chart.

Apparently, I am NOT a 161/2-34 in this Tokyo Slim Fit. The sleeves are at least 1” too short. Looks ok when your arms are at your side, but the moment you extend your arm to shake someone’s hand, the sleeve rides up. I emailed Kamakura Shirts asking for a solution, stating that I travel to Japan annually and always wanted to try this shirt brand as I would likely buy more. Also, it would appear, that a 161/2-35 is not offered. So FAR, no one has replied to my email.

perfect oxford shirt for work and leisure. Needs another button

I was so excited to receive my first shirt from Kamakura today. I had read about Kamakura on Ivy Style. I bought the biggest shirt available a "17 1/2". The size chart said 26 1/2" sleeve. It's a great looking tatersall fabric with great details (box pleat, locker tab). I am 6'5" and weigh 250 lbs (38 inch waist). Imagine my horror when I tried it on and discovered by "trad" US standards, my beautiful shirt is really a "slim cut". Wonderful company but their ready to wear is not "Ivy" cut ...not by a mile. Too much trouble to return to Japan. "Once burned twice shy"...regretably becuase it is a beautiful shirt. Hey! Maybe I wll suddenly lose 30 pounds. I'll stick with J. Press, O'Connells, The Andover Shop and Cordings.

Subtle, classy sheen and perfect construction.

I have wanted a Green Ivy Style shirt and admired Kamakura clothing for a long time so finally getting both in one go is a thrill. Beautiful shirt. I will be collecting more pieces from Kamakura for sure.

It's a great fit. The shirt has a great feel to it. Not too tight, but not overly blousy. The collar is the best I've worn on an button down oxford. It was so comfortable I wore it two days in a row.

Kamakura shirts use the best fabrics and construction. Everything is painstakingly put together - nothing beats it in the US for the price.

I had high hopes for this denim shirt, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a letdown. After just two weeks of wear, the material on the elbows has noticeably faded, making the shirt look old and worn out much sooner than I expected.

Given the price and initial appearance of the shirt, I expected it to hold up better over time. I followed all the care instructions precisely, so there’s no excuse for such rapid wear. The fading on the elbows isn’t just subtle—it’s glaringly obvious, which makes the shirt unsuitable for anything other than casual, at-home wear now.

This is disappointing for a product marketed as durable and stylish. If you're looking for a denim shirt that will maintain its quality, I suggest looking elsewhere. This one doesn’t live up to its promises.
On the picture I attached it looks better than in reality.

The shirt captures the classic Ivy shirts that I stole from my father's closet when I was a teenager. I searched high and low for the right look.... the right cut and the correct cloth, for years as a adult. It can be found only in the Kamakura Ivy collection.

Like jacob cohen but for shirts

I bought multiple pairs of these and introduced them to my sock rotation around a year ago. I really enjoy the styling of these, they are just about perfect. Unfortunately multiple pairs have already torn a big hole around the heel. For the price-point I expected better.

Very good demin. The color is true to pictures and the sizing is perfect. Very happy with it.

Classic detailing and fit, the best Ivy shirt on the market.

Very high-quality shirt, soft cloth, pearl buttons, dense and even stitches.

It feels soft and comfortable

The fabric is great, sturdy and compact and becomes soft after the first wash. High quality stitching throughout and nicely finished button holes. I am 180cm tall with athletic build and purchased size Large (16) which fitted well across the shoulders and chest but had a surplus of material around the waist. The shirt would have been 5-stars had the side seems around the waist been tapered by about 10cm overall.

As someone who's 5'3 it's hard to find dress shirts with the right proportions but the 38-79 size is very well-fitting for my arms and body - quality is good as always with Kamakura. Recommended!

This item is very comfortable and lightweight. It will keep you warm.

very nice product
