Carrara Light Grey Melange Chambray Fabric

Description

Fabric Description

A sophisticated Italian take on chambray from Grandi & Rubinelli. Woven with irregularly dyed yarns in a 40s 2-ply plain weave construction, this fabric has beautiful color variation and an incredible hand that makes it feel like your favorite, already broken-in chambray. The lighter grey color and lack of indigo tones make this feel less like a heritage or workwear fabric than some of our other chambrays. In fact, it might be our easiest chambray to dress up. It looks fantastic under a sport coat or even paired with a suit or tie, but it also looks right at home when worn more casually with a pair of jeans. We definitely recommend going with soft details all around for this one. For a more casual vibe, try our Soft Ivy Button Down or Band collars, and for a more sprezzy Italian look, try our Soft Roma Spread or Soft Roma Cutaway collars.

  • A very sturdy fabric, but the color ran out drastically in spots. That was probably from my draconian laundering.

    October 2021  ·  Thomas in Arlington, MA

  • Under estimated the striping of the patterned. Great fabric - just don’t love the pattern detail

    September 2021  ·  David in NEW YORK, NY

  • Soft fabric. Definitely thicker, but not finding it to be too warm to wear in the summer.

    July 2021  ·  Stephen in Livingston, NJ

  • I can't speak to the performance, since I had to send the shirt back, but it looks great, and I've been converted to chambray.

    May 2021  ·  MICHAEL in Walpole, ME

  • The color and fabric were great, but felt like the shirt shrank on me after a few washes

    May 2021  ·  Douglas in Long Island City, NY

  • Perfect for spring/summer. It is not opaque, falls nicely, and can be dressed up or down.

    March 2021  ·  Jonathon in IRVINE, CA

  • Definitely a thinner, lighter fabric that's good for hotter climates.

    February 2021  ·  Mark in East Rancho Dominguez, CA

    November 2019  ·  Gene in Golden Valley, MN

  • Love this fabic! Very nice texture and weave while still being fairly lightweight, the soft grey is a nice and subtle touch, and a great alternative to a classic white oxford that still goes with everything... would definitely recommend for a refined casual shirt.

    September 2019  ·  Travis in OAKLAND, CA

  • Good!

    September 2019  ·  Joel in Closter, NJ

  • from a distance this may look like a nice gray fabric but up close the texture and slubbiness are more evident. has a quiet, understated elegance to it.

  • Fabric a little rough at first but will break in

    April 2019  ·  Andrew in Newport Beach, CA

    April 2019  ·  Woodrow in Denver, CO

  • great!

    March 2019  ·  Scott in La Jolla, CA

    December 2018  ·  Brad in Aurora, CO

    November 2018  ·  Austin in Brooklyn, NY

  • Great gray color for both casual and professional wear. The quality of the fabric is very crisp and sharp in appearance.

    October 2018  ·  Louis in Spokane, WA

  • Very soft hand and lovely drape

    October 2018  ·  Jason in Las Vegas, NV

  • This is my second shirt/color in this fabric and I'm going to order the third color. It's a great fabric with just enough heft to be comfortable but not too much so that it can't be worn in an office setting. Truly crosses over between formal and informal.

    September 2018  ·  David in Mill Valley, CA

  • Nice texture, breathable

    September 2018  ·  Eric in New York, NY

  • These chmabray shirts are some of my favorites from proper cloth. It has a soft feel similar to a causal flannel but wears well as a dress shirt. Versitle color that can be worn w just about anything

    September 2018  ·  peter in Severna Park, MD

  • Less melange than I hoped for. It's subtle. And stylish. But my shirt feels tighter than usual I guess because it's thicker and more structured than I ordered before. Definitely could dress it up though.

    September 2018  ·  Ryan in Batavia, IL

  • So soft!

    September 2018  ·  Jordan in Morriston, ON

  • This fabric was exceptionally soft and comfortable. A very relaxed feel good for a comfy shirt.
