Fabric Description
A classic and versatile style.
This remarkably soft 80s 2-ply denim is a great year-round fabric that has a beautiful drape, and it’s ideal for those who like a denim shirt that can work under a sport coat. The soft yet striking medium blue color results from the reaction of the indigo dye with a light bleach wash, and it’s a unique yet understated tone that’s incredibly easy to dress up or down.
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 English Spread collar, no placket, and Slate Horn buttons for a clean, minimal loo. 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.

“This is definitely the most money I've spent on a denim shirt, but it was well worth it. Unlike other denim shirts I've owned, the fabric is incredibly soft! And the indigo is beautiful. Who knew a casual shirt could be so nice?”
