It was only for New Years day

Do they ever offer the tokyo slim cut in longer sizes? I just got my first NY slim (40-90) in the mail today and everything about it was perfect except for the chest, waist, and hips being about 1.5-2" too wide.

That sounds like far more "not perfect" than otherwise. So basically the collar and arm fits.

True. I just get quite excited when something manages to fit my neck and be long enough in the arm plus a lovely collar—that alone is a rarely met list of criteria. I suppose tailoring will work.

I was going to suggest the Tokyo Slim 39-87, however the sleeves might be too short for you. Another option is the 39-90 in NY Slim, which is what I wear. The difference in neck size from the 40-90 is technically only supposed to be 1cm, however it's slimmer in all other respects.

At 6'2" (and picky about having long enough sleeves) I'm amazed that even the smallest NY Slim fit shirt has long enough sleeves.

Awesome, thank you! I'll see how this one shapes up after a wash and then order the 39.

Some new shirts:

Updated by Kamakura! (Broadcloth, simple spread collar)

All dobby fabric although I am hoping they exchange the last for broadcloth instead. Not too keen on "dobby oxford"

I wear a 16" collar size in the NY Slim and the sleeves are 36.5"! In BB Slim fit I wear a 16-34, though ideally a 16-34.5 would be perfect. IMO the sleeves at Kamakura are disproportionately long.

I wear BB ESF OCBDs 15.5-35 and they fit amazingly well. My first Kamakura purchase as an OCBD in 16-36.5 and yes, the sleeves are really long. This is one of the few items I've intentionally placed in the dryer in order to shrink.

I got my first two Kamakura shirts in the mail this week. Both were Tokyo slim 39/87 with spread collar. The fit is great for me. I am very happy with the quality, for the price. I noticed they added three shirts with semi-spread collars. There is only one that I really want. I'm thinking about picking up a cutaway also, so shipping will be free.

Can anyone let me know if the black watch shirt is more like this colour http://www.modculture.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/g4.jpg or more subdued like this http://www.kamakurashirts.net/img/goods/2/WD102245S.jpg.

The photos seem conflicting but I prefer the latter.

Is anyone having an issue with the online ordering? I tried PayPal, and it canceled my order. Now I am trying to just input my credit card info, and it's not accepting the cards (tried 2, both work fine).

Anyone suggest an alternate way to purchase from Kamakura?

ETA - as I'm sure most readers of the thread know, the NYC store is not running the online store (ran out of Japan) - I called them anyway (as I'm in the States, much easier) - and the guy at the NYC store was helpful. He took down the items I ordered and is going to follow up with the online store in Japan and get back to me. Just FYI if anyone else faces this same issue...

I wear a 16.5" - 34" BB shirt. The Kamakura 16.5" shirts have something like a 36" inch sleeve. It's horrible. I love their collars however. I am going to try shrinking both of my shirts in the dryer then I'll probably have to send them to a tailor to see what they can do. I wish they offered more sizes. I'd buy tons more of their shirts. What they sell is proportionate for a model's build perhaps? Not the average guy.
