It pairs seamlessly with blazers or sweaters, making it a versatile wardrobe staple that enhances any outfit with its timeless sophistication.
From the brand: “Ametora” is Japanese shorthand for "American Traditional"
and refers to the East Coast collegiate style that captivated Japan in the early 1960s and helped shape Japanese menswear culture for decades. The Ametora Oxford button down captures that moment faithfully, drawing on the shirts once seen in the windows along Madison Avenue during the 1950s.
Cut with the easy, relaxed proportions of the era, the shirt features an Ivy League button down collar measuring a full 3.5 inches. Long enough to sit perfectly beneath a tie and navy blazer, yet equally at home peeking from under a sweater. Classic Ivy details include the traditional box pleat at the back, softly gathered sleeves into barrel cuffs, a single chest pocket, and the characteristic six button front. The finishing touch comes in the form of genuine mother of pearl buttons, lending a subtle lustre that only improves with wear.
