Fabric Description

The perfect black denim shirt.

This super soft and versatile 60s single-ply denim works year-round, drapes beautifully, and looks fantastic as a Western shirt, overshirt, or dressed up under a sport coat. We give this fabric a gentle enzyme wash that removes less dye, resulting in a saturated black with subtle fading and puckering along the placket and seams.

From sourcing the perfect denim from a 185-year-old mill in Italy to testing washes with our factory for months on end, we labor over every detail of our washed indigo shirts. Each of them starts out as a plain or textured weave fabric that’s been dyed heavily with indigo. After being cut and sewn, the shirts are then garment washed using either a light enzyme, soda, or bleaching process. It's this process that gives each shirt its beautiful color and unique fading around the seams. While garment washed indigo and denim shirts are a popular product in the ready-to-wear market, they haven't previously been available in a custom fit or design due to the bulk production required for the washing process. We've worked closely with our suppliers to bring you the first truly custom garment washed indigo and denim shirts on the market. Premium, carefully crafted shirts, made to your exact specifications. Learn more about our washed indigo and denim shirts here.

Recommended Styling: Try this one with our Soft Franklin Spread collar, Soft Front placket, Utility pockets, and Grey Horn buttons for a utilitarian casual look. Note that, due to the special nature of the garment washing process, this fabric can only be made using soft, unfused collars, cuffs, and fronts/plackets.

  • Love the colour and feel but it is a bit tight using my normal measurements - it would help to provide this guidance

    3 weeks ago  ·  Andrew in Prahran, VIC

  • I ordered 4 different colors of these denim shirts. The black and gray look too similar in person. I would recommend getting one or the other.

    June 2024  ·  Richard in Gig Harbor, WA

    May 2024  ·  Julio in GUAYNABO, PR

  • nice deep dark grey/black, soft texture, easy to wash and air dry on a hanger

    May 2024  ·  Eric in Chicago, IL

  • Lovely faded black denim shirt. I had it made up in a casual untucked design, but I'm thinking of ordering again in a tucked western style. My only gripe is that I was hoping for a slightly lighter feel. This fabric feels quite heavy (even for a medium weight) so might struggle to wear this in warmer seasons/climates.

  • The fabric is very nice and comfortable. Color is a bit lighter than pictures.

    July 2023  ·  Matt in Toronto, ON

  • Great casual option to dress up or down. I like versatile shirts that say I put some attention to it, and can fit a span of the middle of casual to dress. So you can wear it casual or with some adjustments you wear with it, can go for a nice evening out with friends.
