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.

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.

“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.”

“Luxurious color and hand feel. Whatever wash/enzyme treatment is done to it is fantastic. Just ever slightly faded. Slightly brushed. A superior look.”
Jeremy in Greenwood Village, CO
