Fabric Description

Authentic Indian madras reinterpreted for the modern wardrobe.

Prized for its breathability, lightness, and distinctive look, madras is an absolute warm-weather staple. Ours is woven in Chennai, India, with a 40s single-ply plain weave construction that makes for an incredibly soft and airy feel. Madras fabrics were originally dyed with bright, colorful vegetable dyes that, when laundered, would "bleed," resulting in shirts with more subdued tones and a faded appearance. This bleeding inadvertently created the traditional madras look we’re familiar with today. Our madras shirts are designed to have just the right amount of fade right off the bat so they won't bleed when you wash them at home. This tonal combination of beige and brown is highlighted with green, blue, and berry red in a multi-layered plaid that makes for a unique yet timeless style. This fabric makes a particularly fun Camp shirt to wear with jeans or linen blend chinos in the summer.

Recommended Styling: Our Camp collar, Angled pocket, and Corozo buttons on a short sleeve shirt is a classic look. For something a little more collegiate, go with our Colorado Button Down collar and Soft Front placket.

    October 2022  ·  Owen in MARIETTA, GA

  • The madras shirt is very comfortable during the summer weather. One thing I didn’t like were the button holes. They are very wide and the buttons come undone at times when you shift or turn.

    October 2022  ·  Bill in San Ramon, CA

  • I wear this shirt a lot, perfect for Indian summer.

    September 2022  ·  Anthony in SEATTLE, WA

  • One does not often seen Madras fabric in muted colors. This is a more elegant take on a quintessential summer choice, nice enough for the office and still casual enough for a weekend afternoon.

    September 2022  ·  C Douglas in CHICAGO, IL

  • This fabric feels pretty good - soft/lightweight, minimal wrinkling, and a good drape/form. Pattern is a good, casual addition to any closet

    August 2022  ·  Jeffrey in Teaneck, NJ

  • Exactly as shown. Excellent weight for Texas.

    July 2022  ·  David in Coppell, TX

    July 2022  ·  Nicholas in Traer, IA

  • Fabric design and fit as advertised.

    July 2022  ·  Marshall in PASADENA, CA

  • Madras may be my most favourite fabric! Its not as posh as linen, though much more perfectly casual with jeans or chinos, tucked-in or untucked. Love the patterns; we metrosexuals can’t always wear plaid!
