Made to Measure PALPA

The fit and color of these socks is better than what I had expected and by the way, I expected a lot. The crew color is beautiful and the fit of the socks is excellent. I have worn them with jeans and I have worn them with khakis and with a variety of style of shoes And the added touch that they add is terrific. I suggest you buy all three colors and buy multiple pairs of each. You will find them in rotation often I love the quality.

Fit is difficult to get right

Was originally excited to purchase from Kamakura.

In fairness, the shirt is well-constructed. The stitching is very tight, and many little details (buttons, reinforcement, etc.) is well done.

I purchased the shirts after having someone take my measurements and, importantly, seeking the input of a representative of Kamakura. It was recommended to me by the Kamakura representative to purchase the shirts in New York Slim fit a size smaller than what my measurements and gut said.

Upon receiving the shirts, I was disappointed to learn that they were a bit tighter than what I was hoping for. Under the pecs and the shoulders were just tighter than anticipated.

The most unfortunate part is the return policy. While knowing that return shipping is to be the responsibility of the purchaser, upon inquiring with various shipping companies, I quickly realized it is cost prohibitive (well over the cost of a single shirt) to send my not-quite-right shirts back to Japan from Canada.

Ultimately, I’m now stuck with several beautiful shirts that don’t fit exactly right.

Purchasers take the fit and sizing with a grain of salt.

The perfect ‘white shirt alternative’…

Taking a cue from another reviewer’s testimony (of similar proportions), at 6’0 175lbs., I opted for the size 16. (Looking for a bit more of a fitted silhouette.) In this shirt, the choice was spot on. Dare I say typical…[probably more apropos to say, as expected], Kamakura/Japanese quality. Not a missed stitch.
This is the perfect Fall alternative to the pressed cotton white shirt.

best shirt I've ever worn

this will be my wedding day shirt, so glad I found this operation. I look forward to buying more in the future. I've never had a pre-sized shirt fit so luxuriously.

My husband loves this shirt!

This was a birthday present for my husband, he wanted something with natural fibers that fit well for the hot summer months. He tried it on today and absolutely loves it. And it drapes so nicely on him! He usually wears a large in tshirts but the fitting said medium, so that's what I ordered – and it fit absolutely perfectly.
