Japanese Indigo Chambray Fabric

Fabric Description

An authentic selvage chambray woven with a special technique.

Woven and indigo dyed in Japan, this selvage chambray is the real deal. Made in small batches on shuttle looms, a technique pioneered in America but perfected by Japanese mills, the slightly uneven weave gives this light indigo chambray incredible visual texture. The indigo dye will also fade over time, meaning this shirt gets better the more you wear it. Since this fabric is woven with an indigo-dyed thread in the warp and white thread in the weft, out of the box it appears somewhat dark, but after washing the indigo deposits on the white thread, giving the shirt a softer, more even blue tone. As such, only wash with like colors. It will also soften up and break in significantly after the first wash, like the classic chambray shirt you always wanted.

Recommended Styling: Go with a soft collar, cuff, and placket on this one; our Soft Point collar gives it a Western shirt vibe, or go for a Colorado Button Down collar for a solid casual look.

  • Great.

    March 2023  ·  Kevin in New York, NY

  • Love this chambray. Has some heft to it, but not overly heavy or hot. I've been wearing it comfortably in 80-85 degree southern weather. Color is nice, not overly gray or blue like other similar fabrics. Feels and looks great!

    February 2023  ·  Sean in Clarendon Hills, IL

  • Fabric has a bit more shine than I expected. Would prefer less. A bit warm for me, too. Would like to find warm-weather chambrays. Will still be a regular in the rotation.

    December 2022  ·  Tim in BOCA RATON, FL

  • Seems a little lighter-blue than this image, but still classy/casual.

    December 2022  ·  Michael in SEATTLE, WA

  • Wearing it today. The cuffs do exhibit a surprising short life on the edge as the fabric is lightening quickly on this edge and will fray faster than a comparable weight in a 100% cotton broadcloth.

    December 2022  ·  Geoffrey in SAVANNAH, GA

  • Great looking

    December 2022  ·  Greg in NEW YORK, NY

  • Very hefty but comfortable chambray. Might need ironing, but I enjoy the rumpled look.

    November 2022  ·  Hans Kristoffer Andersen in Cambridge, MA

  • This is my new favorite fabric/shirt! I don't often wear formal business shirts so this is a perfect fabric for dressing down but still looking professional. The fabric is soft and comfortable and I look forward to seeing how it ages over time.

    November 2022  ·  Robert in GREENSBORO, NC

  • Classic

    November 2022  ·  Andrew in Toronto, Ontario

  • This shirt is great. It is stiff, but in time it will relax as chambray does. The color is fantastic. I had it done western with horn snaps, and it looks like a million bucks.

  • Terrific hand feel.
