Founded in Arkansas in the 1950s, "CAMCO" initially operated as a factory manufacturing apparel for major American department stores like SEARS and J.C. PENNEY.
The company later became a supplier for the U.S. military. By the 1970s, its reputation for high quality led it to sew for various American brands, and it eventually launched its own line as a factory brand. To delve into the world of CAMCO, which continues to captivate fans with its classic early American aesthetic, we sat down with Norio Nakayama, the manager of MAINE, a veteran American casual shop located in Tokyo's Jimbocho, Kanda.

The Secret Is Recreating Vintage Flannel Fabric

"CAMCO was introduced in Japan in 1998," Nakayama explains. "Its most iconic item is, by far, the flannel shirt that put the brand on the map. Just one look at this shirt reveals the core appeal of CAMCO.
This flannel shirt showcases distinctive details like a diagonally cut 'bias pocket' and premium 'dish buttons,' yet the overall design is simple and timeless. It's truly a piece built to be loved for years to come."
