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.
Dear Michael,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about your experience with the denim shirt. We’ll pass your concerns about the fabric and durability to our production team for review. We appreciate your understanding and are here to assist further if needed. Best regards!
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.
