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 rich combination of blue, red, and gold is layered with ecru in an intricate 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.

  • A couple of wears and washes in, and no major shrinkage or bleeding colors. Very understanded and classy, paired with stone chinos and a navy jacket it looks like stellar. Soft and lightweight but still has a good hand and drape across the body.

    April 2023  ·  Matt in New York, NY

  • Nicely lightweight. Beautiful in person.

    April 2023  ·  Michael in Temple Terrace, FL

  • This fabric is fantastic. It is lightweight and has great color. I got it with a casual collar and two pockets on the front. So it is a nice button-down substitute for a pullover or polo on a warm day. I may wear this one out before the summer ends and will happily order it again.

  • Color scheme was a bit of a risk for me, but looks great
