If you’re registered with them, your purchases are recorded. When you accrue enough points, you’ll get a discount code. It’s actually pretty generous.

I thought you meant separate from that.... thanks for false hope

I still have the card that they gave with shirt purchases from several years ago. Doubt they still stamp those, but didn't get it punched or credited the last time I bought a shirt.

they’ve moved away from that to this new system.

Does anyone know if those old purchases are recorded anywhere and how many purchases are required to earn, let's say $50?

Would also be interested to know. though I've only bought two shirts from them. Probably a ways to go.

How about that the Japan and US systems don't work I'd be at like 200 bucks by now

You can register online. I'm not sure if previous purchases apply. When I went from the old card system to the new system, it did. You can always ask.

I'm surprised the sales rep in the store didn't have me sign up when I bought my shirt. He was very helpful otherwise.

A rep did this for me when I bought a bunch of custom shirts for my groomsmen. Never got credit for them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

OK, I found some info on their FAQ (https://kamakurashirts.com/pages/faq).

Basically you get 5 points per dollar spent and these points can be converted to $50 off coupons in 5000 point increments. Soooo...that means you get $50 after you've spent $1000. Looks like after you've spent $1000 you're awarded more points per dollar. Not sure how it works for the Japanese site (from which I bought most of my stuff). I would probably be at the halfway point to $50 off....

Are Brooks' problems going to help Kamakura? I know that they are different price points, partially because Brooks' shirts can often be gotten on sale. Still, these are the two dress shirt brands I favor.

I don't see BB going anywhere. They will likely be around under new ownership. What that means for the merchandise, I don't know.

I would place Kamakura at a higher overall quality level vs. Brooks Brothers. Even their regular Maker's Shirt retails at well under $100 and features non-fused collars and cuffs and shell buttons. Their higher grade shirts, too, outmatch those of Brooks Brothers in terms of fabric and overall quality and finish.
