Have a few Kamakura shirts now and like them all, but this linen one is the new favourite. The fabric is sturdy but has a softer hand feel than lesser quality linen while still draping nicely. The white is a creamy white, more wearable IMO than if it were a brighter white. And the Ametora cut, which people should know is a little roomier than the Vintage Ivy shirts, is comfortable and looks very classic.
the sizing is really weird. I ordered a 15 and a half (collar) as I usually do with other makers ... yes the collar size is perfect, but unlike any other 15+half shirt I own, the shirt is really over-sized and the sleeves are way too long!! Luckily it is pure linen, so hot-washing it 3 times shrunk it down to size. I would like to buy more shirts like this, but I don't need the surprises or the extra work!
I've worn this shirt all summer long. On its own and with a suit and it always looks great. The roomy fit is perfect for a linen shirt
The ametora cut is my favourite and I always hoped for a linen version! More colour options would be great.
Breezy fit and comfortable linen makes this perfect for hot weather. Love the classic details.
