Fabric Description

A unique, must-have slate blue.

This super soft and versatile 60s 2-ply denim works year-round, drapes beautifully, and looks fantastic as a Western shirt, overshirt, or dressed up under a sport coat. We give it a heavy bleach wash to achieve the beautiful slate blue color. It’s one of our absolute favorite colors, and one every guy should have in his closet.

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 Franklin Spread collar, no placket, and Slate Horn buttons for an elevated denim 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.

  • Very nice

    4 days ago  ·  Tim in Redford, West Sussex

  • The colour is great and I love the faded/washed effect. My only observation is that this doesn't feel like denim at all (even if lightweight). It almost has more of a broadcloth feel in some ways, which makes it slightly less casual than I anticipated. That aside, still a lovely shirt which I will happily wear.

    December 2023  ·  Larry in Santa Fe, NM

    December 2023  ·  Chris in BROOKLYN, NY

  • Wonderful workplace-casual shirt. Best Proper Cloth shirt experience in several years.

    November 2023  ·  Christian in Minneapolis, MN

    November 2023  ·  Sam in Mechanicsville, VA

    November 2023  ·  Dave in Bainbridge Island, WA

  • Fit is fantastic. Color not exactly as indicated but still nice

    November 2023  ·  Eric in SANTA MONICA, CA

  • It is like you are wearing a soft cotton sheet, absolutely lovely on the skin, and the color is sublime.

    November 2023  ·  James in Ocean Park, ME

  • I like it, but it's heavier than "lightweight"

    October 2023  ·  Kyle in Houston, TX

  • Lovely, soft denim that breathes well on warmer days.

    October 2023  ·  Thomas in Middletown, RI

  • As a denim I do not particularly like the color. I fitted the shirt to wear in tucked and the bottom hem tends to roll up during wear. The button placard (?) is not sewn on the inside and also tends to fold.

    October 2023  ·  Richard in PRESCOTT, AZ

  • Its nice. It wasn't as denim-y as I expected and seemed a little more like a twill fabric. The color is good. lighter weight than I expected.

    October 2023  ·  Jonathan in Mountain View, CA

  • Great color

    September 2023  ·  Carle in SAN FRANCISCO, CA

  • I love the Albiate fabrics - this particular fabric is very soft a little lighter weight than the others and has just the right amount of washed/brushed/dusty vibe to make it interesting while maintaining a sharp overall appearance. Slate is a good descriptor for the color.

    September 2023  ·  Brian in Phila, PA

  • Nice colour and soft fabric

    September 2023  ·  David in Rancho Mirage, California

  • Lighter than I was anticipating, but nice color and a shirt I know I will wear lots

    September 2023  ·  Marcus in Kamloops, Bc

  • Subtle but makes a statement

    August 2023  ·  robert in Key West, FL

  • Very nice, soft denim that can be dressed up or down. More 'medium' weight than 'lightweight.'

    July 2023  ·  Michael in Manhasset, NY

  • It is a nice fabric but overpriced.

    June 2023  ·  Emiry in Burlington, VT

  • Beautiful colour, soft and light denim. Out of the box I can tell it will be a favourite. Can dress up or down. Doesn't seem like denim until you look closer. Will be buying another

    April 2023  ·  Chris in Summer Hill, NSW

  • Slightly heavier than I thought. But a real class act for a denomination shirt.

    April 2023  ·  Ira in MIAMI, FL

  • Good not great. A bit heavier for a medium weight and still thrown off by the collar

    February 2023  ·  Calum in Toronto, ON

  • Soft and comfortable

    January 2023  ·  Peter in Quechee, VT

  • These Albiate fabrics are my favorites. They are costly but worth the price. They feel great when you wear them, and the colors are unique but not flashy.

    January 2023  ·  Stephen in Klein, TX

  • A very refined denim. Smooth and luxurious.

    December 2022  ·  Kenneth in ALEXANDRIA, VA

  • Luxurious color and hand feel. Whatever wash/enzyme treatment is done to it is fantastic. Just ever slightly faded. Slightly brushed. A superior look.

    December 2022  ·  Jeremy in Greenwood Village, CO

  • nice fabric, could be darker.

    December 2022  ·  Will in New York, NY
