Regular price $190.00Shōnan Extra-heavy Linen Shirt
What is "Shōnan"?
In the mid-1950s, disobedient Japanese teenagers from elite families in the Shōnan region became notorious for their freewheeling beach-bum lifestyles. With the 1956 debut of the controversial film, Season of the Sun, they became known as the “Sun Tribe” — and their signature fashion look of aloha shirts became the defining fashion trend of that era.
As tribute to the Sun Tribe’s influence on Kamakura culture, we offer the Shōnan Shirt — a short-sleeved open-collar shirt in Japanese-woven, extra-heavy linen. The shirt body comes in a relaxed fit equal width at chest and waist, with a five-button front, plain back, and a three-inch vent at bottom. The spread-collar closes with a loop. The Shōnan Shirt is perfect for throwing on after a dip in the ocean or surviving a blazing hot summer day in the city.

Excellent quality shirt with a lovely color. Lightweight and looking forward to wearing it for the summer.
This was a birthday present for my husband, he wanted something with natural fibers that fit well for the hot summer months. He tried it on today and absolutely loves it. And it drapes so nicely on him! He usually wears a large in tshirts but the fitting said medium, so that's what I ordered – and it fit absolutely perfectly.
This my new favourite shirt for the summer.
Fantastic construction, it’s an absolute pleasure to wear!
I thought it would run small, but a normal medium is the right fit.
Linen is thick and not thin
Usual bespoke user. Apart from bespoke, best quality shirt that I have tried. Is my first purchase and won’t be the last. Thanks!
I was a bit reluctant to make this purchase because I couldn't decide whether the Medium or Large would be the best fit. For items like this, I would normally buy a Medium. For reference, I'm 6'2" and 165 lbs. After going back and forth - and reading that this garment is intended as an overshirt - I decided on the Large size. Lucky for me, the fit is perfect. It's not too big. It drapes beautifully, and the design, with its simplicity and clean lines, is exactly what I was looking for. I'm hard to please when it comes to clothing. Purchasing online is even more daunting. Ordering internationally without a return policy felt like a real bet. However, I made the bet, and I'm very happy that I did. I've had it for less than a week and have received multiple compliments from multiple strangers, which is unusual - more of a testament to its beautiful simplicity.
Quality Oxford shirt fits well feels well in good price
A truly excellent shirt. Flattering in fit without being overtailored, sturdy yet breathable cloth and immaculate quality of detail and finish. A premier garment that thoroughly justifies a premium price; I shall be sure to buy another!
