Albiate Washed Indigo Printed Stripe Flannel Fabric

~~$175~~ $125

An unbelievably soft and lightweight flannel.

This 80s 2-ply cotton fabric is—if you can believe it—even softer than our Satoyama flannels (thanks to a special pre-wash that breaks it in perfectly) and is almost as light. The fine blue stripes add a subtle yet interesting pattern and reveal the fabric’s tiny, almost imperceptible herringbone weave. A great fabric for layering or wearing on its own. The dark indigo coloring is the result of a light bleach 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 English Spread collar, Soft Front placket, Angled pocket, and Slate Horn buttons for a classic 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.

Since our limited-run garment washed indigo and denim fabrics are made in small batches with a special process, we guarantee delivery by January 21st, 2022. Fabric swatches are not available.
