Kamakura Shirts - Madison Ave Store

[Journeyman]

You could wear it with a plain knit tie, plain grenadine tie, or a tie with a really small or faint pattern, such as a really small-scale neat print silk tie or a small-scale herringbone-weave tie.

Popped in to the Madison ave store since they're having the final anniversary sale. Unfortunately, didn't see anything I liked in my size in 16-34 in the 134 line. A few white shirts and a yellow or white 100% linen shirt.

In the Traveler line they had one shirt in size 16, but the sleeve length on that was 34 - 35 according to the sales associate.

is there still "anything", or pretty much done?

The shelves are stocked, whether or not they are the sizes you are looking for, I'm not sure. If you wanted to visit the store I would probably call to ask them to see if they have what you are looking for. They are low on merino sweaters. The cardigans I was looking at they only had in size medium.

Not going in, so maybe I’ll give them a call ahead...

I only visited because I had a doctor's appointment on 41st and it was on my way back home. Otherwise I only really leave our neighborhood like once a month.

Those shirts look great and if they were my size I would be tempted to grab them. Is that first navy houndstooth one a linen shirt?

Bought enough for next year lol.

does anyone have Kamakura Tokyo slim and BB Original Polo, which is closer to Tokyo slim on the BB side, Milano or Soho fit?

Does anyone have experience with the Palpa easy care shirts?

If you're still curious,I have the BB milanos in M and Kamakura in Tokyo Slim neck size 39 and the former are larger.

It’s pretty well picked over. Even at that price, I didn’t see anything that really appealed to me.

it’s too bad. I’ll miss going to that small but wonderful little shop on Madison Avenue. The customer service was impeccable.

I’ll remain a customer and hopefully one day they’ll decide to return to the states.

I've only been there once and loved the shop. The service was top-notch. It's sad to see it go.

Looks like Kamakura refreshed their 'Vintage Ivy' line - collar points look a lot longer than they are with the Graham Marsh collaboration.

Probably going to pick up the ecru one.

Yes, they do. I like it, a bit of a BB, original, Ivy collar roll. I have, and like, the Marsh OCBD, but the points are a little short for the tie knots I use. Having a long neck, I think I will also appreciate what seems to be a higher rise on the collar. Didn't realize Selvedge Oxford cloth for OCBD's was a thing previously.

Getting a shirt MTM from them.... one semi-bright shirt and one RIDICULOUS pair of yellow pants.
