Kamakura Classics // Engineered Garments

A Limited Collection Fusing Two Brands Embodying American Classic Style 

KAMAKURA CLASSICS (KC), which creates authentic American classics using Japan’s superior craftsmanship, and ENGINEERED GARMENTS NEW YORK (EG), renowned for refining American classics through its unique design filter, have partnered for their first-ever collaboration. 

This limited collection, representing the synthesis of both brands, will be available starting Thursday, September 10, 2026. 

 The collaboration originated from a mutual appreciation for each brand's philosophy and worldview—KC reproducing classic American style with uncompromising Japanese techniques, and EG renowned for its distinct design perspectives and detailed craftsmanship. 

Under the direction of EG designer Daiki Suzuki, the collection features entirely original, newly developed details crafted onto classic foundations. Brought to reality through KC's world-class Japanese craftsmanship, the lineup delivers two exceptional shirt designs.
