Maker's Shirt KAMAKURA

Maker's Shirt Kamakura started in 1993 from the thought "we want to deliver truly high-quality shirts to more people." The simple policy upheld since founding is "high-quality shirts at affordable prices." By leveraging high-quality fabrics and Japanese sewing technique while thoroughly stripping away intermediate costs, the brand achieved shirts at a price range that was groundbreaking at the time.

Alongside the brand's growth, the expansion area extended not only to men's dress shirts but also to ties, knits, women's lines, and business casual. While expanding its store network in major domestic cities, it also expanded overseas to places like New York — growing into a brand that gained support from businesspeople worldwide under the name "Kamakura Shirts."

The corporate philosophy carries the message of "supporting business professionals active in the world with shirts." A single piece you can face with confidence at important presentations and business negotiations. Quality and design that withstand world-standard dress codes. And wearing comfort that lets you stay natural during daily commutes and dining. To fulfill all of this, improvements in shirt making continue daily.

Today, with the Kamakura headquarters as its base, the brand develops high-quality Japan-made shirts at stores at home and abroad and through the online shop. While also focusing on services and information sharing unique to a shirt specialty store — such as gift cards, size guides, and shirt styling columns — it continues to pursue "a single piece that accompanies each person's business life."

The unchanging promise of "high-quality shirts at affordable prices"

Since its founding, Maker's Shirt Kamakura has consistently upheld the policy of "providing high-quality shirts at affordable prices." While adopting specifications typically used in higher price ranges — such as high-count 100% cotton fabrics, lock stitch, and felled seams — the brand achieves accessible prices through thorough review of distribution costs and in-house planning.

Supporting business professionals with world-standard shirt making

Under the corporate philosophy of "supporting business professionals active in the world with shirts," the brand researches European dress styles and crafts shirts following world-standard rules. Designing every detail — from collar roll, stand-up collar height, and cuff shape to button position — it proposes business shirts you can wear with confidence in international settings.

Commitment to Made-in-Japan and artisan-tailored comfort

Manufacturing committed to Made-in-Japan — from fabric selection to sewing — is a characteristic. High-density woven broadcloth and twill, high-quality cotton-count fabrics are carefully sewn one by one at domestic sewing factories. Artisan technique is embedded even in unseen specifications such as the yoke and shoulder line stitch pitch and the number of stitches in the armhole.

A nationwide network connecting physical stores and online

Centered on the Kamakura flagship, the brand develops directly managed stores in major cities such as Tokyo, Kanagawa, and Osaka, in-store shops at department stores, and the official online shop. At stores in office districts and terminal stations — easy locations to stop by even on the way home from work — customer service for shirt selection, size consultations, and tie coordination is provided.
