Ecru and Salmon Indian Madras Fabric

Description

Fabric Description

Prized for its breathability, lightness, and distinctive look, madras is an absolute warm-weather staple. Ours is woven in 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 muted ecru beige and salmony orange plaid makes for a unique yet timeless style that works perfectly as either a long or short sleeve shirt.

Recommended Styling: Go with soft details. Our Colorado Button Down collar with a Soft Front placket and Angled pocket is a classic look, but if you want to update the traditional try our Soft Franklin Spread and no placket.

    March 2022  ·  Paul in Saint Clair, MI

  • Love the color and pattern. Definitely seems to have shrunk a bit more than my other PC shirts (cold wash, hang dry only), so may want to tick up the sizing on this

    December 2021  ·  James in Arlington, VA

  • Lightweight for summer. Great colors.

    October 2021  ·  Erik in WASHINGTON, DC

  • Fabric was way too thin

    August 2021  ·  James in HIGH POINT, NC

  • Create a different size that is larger than normal. This shrinks!

    July 2021  ·  Alton in SALT LAKE CITY, UT

  • Lightweight and good color

    July 2021  ·  Gerald in Hampshire, IL

  • This is a great summer pattern.

    June 2021  ·  Aaron in ARLINGTON, VA

  • Great summer shirt, does wrinkle a bit but still looks awesome.

    June 2021  ·  John in BATON ROUGE, LA

  • The pattern looks fantastic in person. Great warm-colored spring/summer shirt.

    June 2021  ·  Nicholas in MOBILE, AL

  • Lightweight, colors are surprisingly better in person!

    June 2021  ·  Manan in Clifton, VA

  • A little light weight but great for summer.

    June 2021  ·  Maria in Chico, CA

  • Great color

    June 2021  ·  Michael in LAS VEGAS, NV

  • Perfect weight for summer

    May 2021  ·  Mark in Mansfield, TX

  • Fabric is a little thinner than I expected, but I suppose that's ok given it's a summer shirt. Really great color and pattern.

    May 2021  ·  Matt in BROOKLYN, NY

  • Great lightweight summer shirt. The colors in the pattern are perfect!

    May 2021  ·  Josef in MC ALLEN, TX

  • I love the subtle pattern.

    May 2021  ·  daniel in Glendale, CA

  • These madras fabrics are my absolute favorite for warmer weather. High quality and sturdy while still being exceptionally light.

    May 2021  ·  Don in Buda, TX

  • The color of the shirt is wonderful. It appears to be a shade of coral. The fabric is also very lightweight which is ideal for Spring and Summer months.

    May 2021  ·  Emeka in BOWIE, MD

  • Love the fabric, hate the cut. For whatever reason, Proper Cloth cuts buttoned down collars for EXTREMELY wide ties. As one would never wear a tie with this shirt, just a ton of extra material — even under best circumstances

    May 2021  ·  Tom in Studio City, CA

  • unique color. light weight. cool shit. Highly recommended

    May 2021  ·  Matthew in Miami, FL

  • This summer weight fabric is perfectly subtle but distinct. Goes well with a jacket or shorts. Or if you are bold enough both!

    May 2021  ·  Anthony in AUSTIN, TX

  • Like the other madras I have it is a lovely soft and light fabric. Reminds me a bit of a beautiful orange tabby. Unusual color choice for me and I love it.

    April 2021  ·  Dale in Corvallis, OR

  • Fit seems a bit smaller compared to other shirts from the same order.

    April 2021  ·  Julian in Brooklyn, NY

  • Love, love, love this fabric. Very light material that is great for summers.

    April 2021  ·  Robbie in LITTLE ROCK, AR

  • Summer shirt

    March 2021  ·  Chris in Huntington Beach, CA

  • Lovely colors and pattern, terrific light spring and summer weight. Super comfortable. Will go with a wide range of more casual outfits. That said, it does get wrinkly (as lightweight cloths are sometimes wont to do) after washing, so be prepared with some water to loosen the wrinkles and then a good iron.

    February 2021  ·  Timothy in Warren, CT

  • Exactly what I expected! I'm pleased!

    February 2021  ·  michael in stockton, CA

  • Madras fabrics make great summer working from home shirts, and this is a really nice example of madras done right.

    February 2021  ·  Jeff in Chatham, NJ

  • Interesting question about value – I'm starting to see the fabrics as a big part of the value proposition with Proper Cloth because of this fabric. I especially noticed that the wrinkle resistance is high, even wearing it under a sweater or sweatshirt. I tend to like shirting that is distinctive but not flashy and have enough body to retain its shape without being stiff. I like this fabric for those reasons. I also that the salmon color is so even throughout the shirt because the threads are so consistent.

    December 2020  ·  Stephen in SAN FRANCISCO, CA

  • Just what you want from madras, light without being flimsy.

    December 2020  ·  John in Tallahassee, FL

  • Your Madras is AWESOME! In addition to being light as a feather I think it will hold up well after multiple wash/wear cycles. The patter is very unique, and my lady friend always compliments me when I wear it!

    December 2020  ·  Gregory in Stanardsville, VA

  • Great color and texture for warm weather

    December 2020  ·  E in West Mclean, VA

  • Never had a real Madras shirt before. Fabric is not smooth like a broadcloth or twill, but not as textured as an oxford. Very light weight and the slight texture helps prevent sticking in the hot Phoenix summer. Hoping to buy more next year if PC has some conservative color choices. Last years slate and grays were perfect, but I did not buy any unfortunately.

    November 2020  ·  Larry in Scottsdale, AZ

  • I’d been eyeing this fabric for months. So glad I pulled the trigger. Summer feel, Fall colors.

    November 2020  ·  Geordie in Clifton, VA

  • The color of this fabric looks much more vibrant/saturated on the website than it does in real life. This was a little bit of a let down to be honest.

    November 2020  ·  Marc in WYOMING, MI

  • The fabric is very nice. However, the cut was significantly smaller than other shirts I received using the same sizing.

    October 2020  ·  Jesse in New York, NY

  • Exceptionally soft fabric and great fit.

    October 2020  ·  John in State College, PA

  • The color.

    October 2020  ·  Charles in Salem, MA

  • My second of these Madras fabrics. Love the weight and breathability for the climate here in southern California. Colors on this one are very individual - looks better in real life than in the pictures.

    October 2020  ·  William in Chino Hills, CA

  • Nice colors and the fabrics feel comfortable.

    October 2020  ·  Hiroaki in Nakano, Tokyo

  • Very thin and light

    September 2020  ·  Darren in Denver, CO

  • I really like pattern -- it has the chalky look I associate with Madras, and it's visually interesting without being too busy. Like other Madras fabrics I've had from PC, this one seems a bit lighter-weight and less textured than ones I've had from other makers.

    September 2020  ·  Donald in Annandale, VA

  • Such a lovely feel on the skin and hangs beautifully.

    September 2020  ·  Carlos in Wellington, WGN

  • Very light without being see through

    September 2020  ·  Wilfred in Sudbury, ON

  • Great summer shirt. More orange than picture on web.

    September 2020  ·  Justin in CHICAGO, IL

  • Super soft, great summer feel

    September 2020  ·  Christian in Elkhorn, NE

  • Feels sooo good. Looks fantastic. Nice and soft.

    August 2020  ·  Ralph in Lompoc, CA

  • Well made

    August 2020  ·  Alex in Auckland,

  • The color is slightly more faded in person than in the pictures on my screen, but I have zero issues with it. From the others reviews, I knew the madras would be light, but I was really surprised at how light it really feels. Today was 94 degrees, and I simply rolled up the sleeves and felt comfortable in this shirt. Very happy with the purchase and would def recommend if you are looking for something different that can work in many different outfits.

    August 2020  ·  Mark in Greenback, TN

  • Not very wrinkle resistant and I'm too lazy to iron, but other than that it's an overall fantastic shirt. Love the color and pattern, and it'll be good for warm weather.
