The VINTAGE IVY COLLECTION began in 2012 with the encounter of Mr. Graham Marsh, an Art Director/Ivy League connoisseur residing in the UK.

Drawing on Mr. Marsh's expertise in 1960s jazz and Ivy League fashion, we present authentic button-down shirts that capture the essence of that era, skillfully crafted by Kamakura Shirts.

Indulge in a collection born from the spirit of American Trad, a testament to our unique perspective and heritage.

The Ivy style, transmitted from America to Japan since the 1960s, once dominated the fashion culture of that era and continues to be embraced today. Japanese enthusiasts meticulously honed this "IVY" style, and as a result, its quality and excellence garnered recognition even in the West. To the extent that it was re-imported to the United States.

Together with Mr. Graham, we dedicated ourselves to pursuing the iconic "Button-Down (B.D.) Shirt," a cornerstone of American Trad style. From the fabric to the silhouette, and even down to the roll of the collar, we spared no effort to perfect the B.D. Shirt that was admired in those days.

Those familiar with that era may find it nostalgic, while the younger generation may perceive it as "fresh and stylish."

"In many aspects, Japan has inherited much more from the tradition of American clothing than America itself." -David Marx "AMETORA"

Original name tags reminiscent of American vintage.

A standout B.D. (button-down) shirt in a rich, deep green achieved through garment-dyeing. The shirt features a flap chest pocket, making it both stylish and functional. It pairs well with a jacket but also works perfectly as a light outer layer, offering versatility for various outfits.

The red and black buffalo plaid is an essential for rugged, outdoorsy styles. Since the bold color combination stands out, it's generally best to keep the rest of your outfit simple to maintain balance.

A B.D. (button-down) shirt made from denim fabric with a vintage, worn-in feel. Layering it with an excellent CPO shirt as a light outer jacket would create a look that's perfectly suited for modern fashion trends.

A classic trad style built around basic, timeless items. This traditional look truly stands out in the fall and winter seasons. I’d love to try wearing such a quintessential style during these colder months.

Ill fitting shirt. Terrible return policy.

My wife purchased this shirt (in red) as a Christmas gift for me. I own a Kamakura OCBD from the Vintage Ivy Collection. So I was fairly confident on the size. In most shirting, I am a 16 1/2, 35. Based on the measurements provided on the brushed cotton twill, my wife ordered me a large. When the shirt arrived, the shirt was not only too small, the fit was extremely awkward: the sleeves were too short; the collar was too tight; and the hem hung awkwardly around my navel (much too short). While it would not generally have been a huge issue to exchange the shirt for a larger size, Kamakura's charges for return shipping are outrageous. They do not offer exchanges, which means I would have had to return the shirt and then order another one. To return the shirt, Kamakura deducted 40 dollars from my refund, and would have charged me 20 more dollars to ship me a new one. That means that, to return the shirt and order a shirt that fit, I would have to spend 80 dollars in shipping. If the replacement shirt didn't end up fitting, I would have had to return it and be charged another 40 dollars in shipping. I have never encountered a more outrageous return policy. If you purchase a shirt, and want to exchange it, Kamakura should cover the shipping. I did not end up ordering a replacement shirt as I did not want to spend 80 dollars in shipping to get a shirt that fit! Because the measurements provided by Kamakura were not accurate, I ordered a shirt that was too small and ended up paying 60 dollars total in shipping to return a shirt and not get a replacement. For that reason, I will not be ordering any further Kamakura products in the future and would not recommend anyone else doing so unless you are cool with paying outrageous shipping to return your shirt.

Dear Kelly C,

We sincerely apologize for the frustration you experienced with your recent order and return process. We understand how disappointing it must have been to receive a shirt that didn’t fit as expected, and we regret any inconvenience caused.

After reviewing the records, we’d like to clarify the breakdown of the USD 40 deduction. USD 25 covered the initial shipping cost to send the shirt to you, while USD 15 was for the return shipping label. As an international retailer, our shipping and tax costs often exceed the fees we charge customers, but we strive to keep them as reasonable as possible.

Regarding sizing, we do our best to provide accurate measurements in our size chart. If the actual shirt dimensions had varied by more than 2%(within 2% is the generally accepted tolerance in apparel manufacturing) from the listed measurements, we would have gladly covered the return shipping as a defective item. In such cases, we encourage customers to reach out so we can resolve the issue promptly.

We truly appreciate your feedback and regret that this experience did not meet your expectations. If there’s anything further we can do to assist you, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

Best regards!
