It is comfortable and practical for everyday tasks such as cooking, laundry, cleaning, and gardening.

Great Shirt! Perfect fit. Just missing one more front button.
High quality as always. Fit was perfect. Looking forward to the SFO store!
I love the quality and fit of this shirt. I will definitely be purchasing more.
This shirt attracted my attention because it’s claimed to be made of “extra heavy” linen - unlike your typical summer lightweight shirts you find everywhere. While I expected “extra heavy” to be somewhat heavier, I admit it’s not a measurable category unless gsm is provided; yet, for me it ticks this checkbox.
I had to remove one star for a simple reason: when completely buttoned down, one half of the shirt is noticeably shorter than the other. This flaw remains after ironing and washing - see the photo. I find it unacceptable given Kamakura’s aimed premium market segment and the emphasis on not compromising on quality.
The delivery to Germany was fast and problem-free.
very soft and nice tee shirt, I like the thickness of the cotton.
