A Collaboration Between Kamakura Shirts and a Local Temple The Ultimate Samue for Everyday Life Developed in collaboration with a local temple, this samue by Kamakura Shirts reflects the voices of temple staff who wear work garments daily. Made with “BALANCIRCULAR” fabric, known for its refined appearance and resistance to losing shape, the garment also features stretch for added comfort.
Designed with both the functionality and ease of movement expected from a samue, it also incorporates the high-level tailoring techniques cultivated in Kamakura Shirts’ dresswear, resulting in a sleek, elegant silhouette. The subdued brown color adds a sophisticated touch that blends seamlessly into everyday life.
The main fabric is linen, a natural material known for its breathability and softness. It feels pleasant against the skin and offers year-round comfort.
The sleeves are designed with gathers, allowing you to easily roll them up—perfect for housework, gardening, cooking, and other daily tasks. Functional details such as a zippered pocket and a hip pocket allow you to carry essentials like a wallet or smartphone, making it convenient for quick errands. Despite its simplicity, the attention to detail makes it suitable for various everyday situations.
The pants can be worn as part of the set or on their own. With their refined design and the natural comfort of linen, they’re also ideal as relaxed casual wear.

I have been wearing Kamakura Shirts exclusively for almost 10 years. Incredibly good quality and great fit. It's nice to know that the focus is on genuine craftsmanship and a commitment to traditional shirtmaking.
The shirt exceeds my expectations. I’m genuinely surprised how well it fits - very flattering. Takes a little effort to wrap one’s head around the Japanese method of measuring but I’d say worth the time with fit results like this.
Wonderfully made, quality feel, and the ecru is a versatile colour. Looks amazing with dark jeans and brown boots.
I’m 5’10” and 185lbs with a 44” chest. the ecru (51)/ 16 1/2 fits like it was tailored for me. Room to move. When moving arms to extremes no pulling. Just the right length for tuck. And just the right amount of space midriff down to waist for those of us past our slim fit days. Hands down my best shirt purchase in many years.
