I have tried many many different OCBD shirts from various makers as I wear this style at least 75% of the time. The Vintage Ivy design from Kamakura is, in my humble opinion, the best. I own something like 10 of them in various colors. The shirts fit consistently and are top-notch down to every detail (I especially love the shell buttons, which you often don’t find even on more expensive shirts). The fit is great - comfortable and relaxed, but never baggy. Great oxford cloth fabric that just gets better with each wear. As a taller man, I sometimes wish it had a seventh button, but it has never been a problem if tucked in and you can always easily have a tailor add one. Ultimately, these are just wonderful. Classic in every sense. I hope Kamakura keeps making this line!
Amazing shirt, It has everything you should expect from a OCBD
Pretty much the perfect oxford shirt! Price is very reasonable for a beautiful Japanese product. Plan to get many more soon :-)
My fourth Kamakura shirt, and certainly not my last!
The oxford has a perfect weight IMO. Light enough for summer, but broad enough for winter, a true all-seasons fabric. Has a beautiful soft look to it.
The stitching is excellent, buttons and holes are clean, and the collar sits perfectly. I'm 5'11'', 180 lbs with a broader chest/shoulders and slim arms, and the 16.5 works well as a relaxed but well-draped shirt. I have a size Large in the Tokyo 134 fit, and as the sizing chart would suggest, the 16.5 is a bit larger and longer, more suitable to be tucked it. It shrunk a small bit in the wash. I would have preferred an additional button, but I don't mind the lack of buttons on the cuff.
Customer service is A+, helpful with Q&As, and shipment was lightning fast to Canada.
Far beyond the value paid for this shirt. The kamakura vintage ivy classic oxford button down is THE oxford button down as far as I'm concerned
