Albiate Washed Light Indigo Heavy Denim Fabric

$175

Our heaviest washed denim fabric to date—perfect for more rugged, casual shirt designs. This fabric is woven at the 185-year-old Italian mill Albiate using a hardy 12/1 x 20/1 twill construction. The result is a thick, substantial feeling denim with beautiful slubby texture. This hardwearing fabric drapes well and lasts long thanks to its weight, and will get increasingly better the more it's worn and washed.

All of our washed indigo and denim shirts start out as plain or textured weave fabrics that have been heavily dyed with indigo. After being cut and sewn, the shirts are then garment washed using either a light enzyme or bleaching process. It's this process that gives each shirt its 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 offer the first truly custom garment washed indigo and denim shirts on the market, allowing such a great style to be produced in your custom size.

Due to the special nature of this garment washed shirt, we guarantee delivery by 1/14/2019.

“This is a great looking, sturdy feeling fabric, it is a medium-dark color pre-washing, and is very casual, though can work w a sport jacket w/ the right detail choices.”

“Great heavy fabric and feel. This was one of my favorite shirts, but after a year (worn once a week during winter months) the material has separated and frayed from the seams on the forearms.”
