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. Learn more about our washed indigo and denim shirts here.

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.

  • Fabric is as expected

    December 2023  ·  Thomas in Clifton, NJ

  • Great fabric

    November 2023  ·  John in West Bethesda, MD

  • This is the denim shirt that I have been looking for. After line-drying, the shirt does require some touch-up ironing for smoothing. The color IRL matches the color in the photographs.

    November 2023  ·  Keith in San Francisco, CA

  • I had an earlier shirt similar in fabric, but it got old, and this fabric excellent mimicked my older shirt, so I got the same shirt with a similar fabric and the same tailored style of the older shirt.

  • Very nice

    November 2023  ·  Mike in Montecito, CA

    November 2023  ·  Anthony in Lolo, MT

  • Fabric is darker than expected, which is good as it dresses up the shirt.

  • I like it but color is darker and the fabric has a greater sheen than the photo and description indicated.

    February 2023  ·  Derek in marseille,

  • My favorite casual fabric by far. I wear this shirt a lot on the weekends.

    January 2023  ·  Julie in Grapevine, TX

  • Nice denim fabric. Has a shine to it which makes it more dressy, but the fades from washing tones it down. Depending on how you customize it, can be dressed up or down.

    January 2023  ·  Kevin in DENVER, CO

  • 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?

    January 2023  ·  Taylor in PLANO, TX

  • Took a few tries for PC to get right on this one, but it has a very unique color that screams 'vintage.' Thinner than you probably expect, but nice.

    December 2022  ·  Kane in REDWOOD CITY, CA

  • Really like the dark indigo colour. Unlike other reviews, didn't find it too shiny.

    November 2022  ·  Srivatsa in Emeryville, CA

  • This is the the “Cinderella” of high-end denim fabrics: perfect thickness, beautiful color and versatile styling that lets you dress the shirt up or down to fit the occasion. A must have staple for your closet!

    November 2022  ·  Mark in Simsbury, CT

  • Great, soft denim shirt

    November 2022  ·  Stephen in Southlake, TX

  • Fabric was a little shinier than expected, but will dull with use.

    October 2022  ·  Cody in Dallas, TX

  • I like this shirt a lot, but it is not like a "traditional" denim shirt. It does not feel like it is made from "jean material." It feels more like a cotton shirt. But, it looks great and is a great weight. This is very much on the light end of denim. I wear it alone or under a sport coat. Great shirt.

    October 2022  ·  Joel in Franklin, WI

  • Amazing

    October 2022  ·  Ajay in Park Slope, NY

  • Beautiful indigo denim, great for dressy denim shirt (expect it will fade beautifully over time)

    September 2022  ·  Matthew in London, London

  • Nice fabric that feels and looks high quality. Medium thickness with slight denim sheen.

    August 2022  ·  Michael in MODESTO, CA

  • this one is a little shinier than i expected but will likely age well

    August 2022  ·  Rob in Atlanta, GA

  • I was looking for a denim shirt but this fabric has a shine & gloss to it that I wasn't expecting.

    August 2022  ·  joseph in LOS ANGELES, CA

  • Absolutely the niftiest fabric, both in feel and in how it looks, I have ever owned.

    July 2022  ·  John in Gray, TN

  • Such a fun fabric. If you’re thinking about this one, get it.
