Albiate Washed Cotton and Linen Indigo Denim Fabric

~~$175~~ $125

A breathable denim for spring.

This hardy cotton and linen blend indigo denim features tonal striations throughout the fabric. It almost resembles an end-on-end effect, which only enhances the appearance of the naturally irregular linen texture. With a rugged appeal made for warmer temps, it’s the perfect fabric for days spent out in nature. This interestingly varied shade of indigo is achieved with a heavy bleach wash, and thanks to the 20/1 x 20/1 dobby construction this fabric is sure to last a lifetime, and even look better with age.

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 Point collar, Soft Front placket, Snaps, a Western yoke, and Reverse Pleat pockets for a traditional Western 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.

Since our limited-run garment washed indigo and denim fabrics are made in small batches with a special process, these shirts will have a longer delivery time which is reflected in cart.

May 2021 · Scott in Lancaster, PA
“Really nice, substantial fabric that feel very high quality without being *too* substantial to wear throughout the year.”

May 2021 · Don in Buda, TX
“This is really a light weight denim, which is not what I was expecting. It’s ok if you’re looking for a super casual shirt. I laundered it in cold water, tumble dry on low until slightly damp. Pretty wrinkled but not really an issue for this kind of cloth.”

May 2021 · MICHAEL in PHILA, PA
“I really like this fabric. It's cool/light like linen but has a bit more rugged feel of denim while being super soft.”

May 2021 · Todd in New York, NY
