"An Easy-Care Shirt That Feels Like 100% Cotton"

Driven by this vision, we developed J-TECH EASY CARE (formerly Known as PALPA Premium)—a special yarn made by wrapping cotton around recycled polyester. After three years of development and seven years on the market, it has become our No.1 best-selling fabric, loved for its exceptional comfort and durability. With only cotton touching your skin, it delivers the natural feel of cotton with a refined sheen. Comfort, functionality, and sustainability—this proudly Japan-made shirt offers it all. Experience the difference today.

※ As of January 2025, "PALPA" has been renamed "J-TECH EASY CARE".

The Easy-Care Shirt is the perfect companion for busy professionals. Simply wash and dry as usual—no extra effort needed. If wrinkles are a concern, a light ironing will do the trick. Enjoy a crisp, clean look effortlessly, without the hassle.

1. Wash
Machine washable just like a 100% cotton shirt. Turn inside out and use a laundry net to extend the life of the fabric and buttons. Gentle cycle recommended.

2. Dry
After spinning, gently smooth out wrinkles and shape the shirt before hanging. This helps reduce wrinkles as it dries.

3. Wear
Wrinkles naturally relax as the fabric dries. Ready to wear the moment you take it off the hanger.

Wash & Wear (W&W) Performance

W&W performance refers to the measure of how much wrinkle remains after washing.
It indicates the fabric's ability to maintain a smooth, neat appearance with minimal effort post-wash.

Generally, a rating of 2.5 or higher is considered suitable for wearing straight out of the wash. With a 3.5 rating, J-TECH EASY CARE delivers exceptional wrinkle resistance, making it an ideal choice for dress shirts that maintain a sharp, smooth look without extra effort.

Comparison with Standard Wrinkle-Resistant Shirts

J-TECH Easy Care Yarn

With a polyester core wrapped in cotton, this unique structure offers a natural look and texture while maintaining its wrinkle resistance even after washing. Traditional easy-care shirts often required compromises. But with Kamakura Shirt’s easy-care shirt, you no longer have to sacrifice appearance or functionality.

Selected for METI’s "Manufacturing Supply Chain Reconstruction Support Project"

With its selection for the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) initiative, Kamakura Shirts partnered with Unitika Tokiwa Factory in Okayama, known for its top-tier spinning technology in Japan. After three years of development, this collaboration led to the creation of the world’s first J-TECH EASY CARE yarn, which was patented in 2019. This innovative yarn features a recycled polyester core wrapped in cotton, combining Indian premium cotton with high-whiteness Australian luxury cotton in a unique blend, achieving both functionality and a refined look.
