Fabric Description
Our heaviest washed denim fabric to date, coming in at 7.5oz.
Woven with a 12/1 x 20/1 twill construction, this thick, substantial denim has a beautiful slubby texture and almost jacket-like heft. It’s hardwearing, drapes well, and lasts a lifetime thanks to its weight, and will get increasingly better the more it's worn and washed. It gets its gorgeous mid blue color from the indigo dye’s reaction with an enzyme dark wash.
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.

Recommended Styling: Try this one with our Soft Point collar, Western front, Western Flap pockets, Soft Square Two Button cuff, and Snap buttons for a classic Western shirt-jacket 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.

“OK, this is now my favorite shirt. Although the fabric is thick, it is very soft, drapes beautifully and feels luxurious and wonderful against the skin. It feels like a shirt and not a light jacket.”
