Kamakura - Vintage Ivy Fit Button Down Japanese Denim 7oz

Where it’s made: Made in Japan
What it’s made from: 100% cotton, 7 oz Japanese denim
Fit description: Regular fit with a comfortable, classic Ivy silhouette

The Vintage Ivy Denim Button-Down Shirt from Kamakura Shirts is part of the brand’s Vintage Ivy Collection, developed together with British art director and Ivy League enthusiast Graham Marsh. Inspired by 1960s jazz culture and traditional Ivy League style, the collection aims to faithfully capture the character of classic American button-down shirts.

Made from a substantial 7 oz Japanese denim, the shirt combines Ivy styling with the rugged texture and ageing potential of denim. Despite the heavier fabric, the silhouette remains clean and versatile, making it easy to wear both casually and more dressed up.

Details include a short three-inch button-down collar, a rear collar button, locker loop, box pleat at the back, chest pocket, button cuffs, and cream-coloured shell buttons — all signature elements of traditional Ivy shirting.

Whether worn tucked into tailored trousers or paired casually with denim or chinos, this is a timeless wardrobe staple with strong heritage roots and beautifully balanced proportions.
