Play in the Dirt with Akashi-Kama’s Earth Patchwork Camp Collar Shirt

I don’t know about you, but jacquard and quilting fabrics just give me that cozy feeling. Maybe it’s ‘cos I’m a 90s baby and I grew up around handmade blankets handmade for entertainment in a pre-smartphone era. Regardless, my appreciation for these kinds of fabrics transcends nostalgia — I now appreciate them for just how unique and charming they can be when used on a garment like this Earth Patchwork Camp Collar Shirt by Akashi-Kama.

Constructed from a Japanese double-weave jacquard fabric and made in the USA, this Camp Collar Shirt epitomizes Akashi-Kama — a Japanese-American brand using its dual heritage to create fresh and exciting menswear. There’s nothing crazily forward-thinking about this button-down, but that’s what makes it so good. It’s a classic camp collar S/S silhouette that lets this elite and nuanced fabric do all the talking. This is a conversation starter, a fit-battle ender, and arguably one of the shirts of the season.

Available from Akashi-Kama for $149.
