Japanese Light Indigo Slub Chambray Fabric

Fabric Description

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. It's similar to our popular Japanese Chambray (PCF1328) but with extra texture and slubbiness--something we're all about. The color is also a bit more vibrant than PCF1328. The indigo dye will also fade out 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. Definitely go with a soft collar, cuff and placket on this one; our Soft President Spread collar gives it a Western shirt vibe, or go for a Colorado Button Down for a solid casual look.

  • I've had this shirt for several years now and it's performed admirably. It's just now starting to fade a fair amount but it's seen much use and many washings. The fit is still spot on.

  • I was hesitant to have a casual shirt “made”. Very happy I did.

    November 2021  ·  William in BOISE, ID

  • I wanted to live this fabric. Can be dressed up or dressed down. Unfortunately it seems to be the incredible shrinking shirt material. Every wash it gets a bit smaller.

    November 2021  ·  Tim in Albany, NY

  • beautiful fabric, highly recommended

    October 2021  ·  Jeremy in PHILADELPHIA, PA

  • Feels lighter shade to wear than it looks

    October 2021  ·  Julian in Tunbridge Wells, Tunbridge Wells

    October 2021  ·  Jason in Danville, CA

    October 2021  ·  Tom in West Lake Hills, TX

    October 2021  ·  Lance in Berkeley, CA

  • Comfortable and casual

    October 2021  ·  Taylor in Normal, IL

  • Still love it. Has shrunk over time, so keep that in mind on sizing. The cool thing is the fabric colour changes over time as the blue and white mix.

    October 2021  ·  Matt in Valley, NS

  • Felt really cheap.

    September 2021  ·  Charles in SAN FRANCISCO, CA

  • Fantastic look and feels great!

    September 2021  ·  Eric in Minneapolis, MN

  • cool shirt!

    August 2021  ·  Rob in Atlanta, GA

  • This gets a lot of wear. It is prone to wrinkling but I like that about it, adds to the casual style.

    July 2021  ·  David in Toronto, ON

  • An old-school work fabric. Almost like denim and linen had a baby. I really like the color.

    July 2021  ·  Timothy in PHOENIX, AZ

  • This is a thicker fabric with a bit of texture. Still, it is passable as a three-season fabric even over an undershirt. It comes out of the wash very nicely, but will bunch up in the sleeves without ironing. Still, I have taken it out of the suitcase on a work trip and found it passable without ironing.

    June 2021  ·  Dan in Lakewood,

  • My favorite casual shirt material. Perfect texture, great feel.

    June 2021  ·  John in Clarkston, MI

  • Very rough fabric, in my opinion.

    June 2021  ·  Luke in Westport, CT

  • The lighter color makes it more flexible for different seasons. One of my favorite western-styled shirts!

    May 2021  ·  Jon in Santa Fe, NM

    May 2021  ·  Joseph in BALTIMORE, MD

    May 2021  ·  Joseph in OKLAHOMA CITY, OK

  • Very classy summer look

    May 2021  ·  Anthony in Lolo, MT

  • A shirt & fabric that is simply amazing. It does wrinkle a lot and requires lots of ironing but it easily passes for a jeans shirt so fitsvery well with a nice pair of brownish chinos & white sneakers.

    May 2021  ·  Alessandro in Kawasaki, Kanagawa

  • I ordered this on a whim. Turned out very well. Highly recommend

    May 2021  ·  Pushan in Amstelveen,

  • A little heavy fabric, good for early spring and fall/winter.

    April 2021  ·  John in New Rochelle, NY

    January 2021  ·  Marti in Dixon, CA
