Japanese Red and Blue Puckered Herringbone Plaid Fabric

$125

Description

Fabric Description

When it comes to casual plaids, nobody does it better than the Japanese. This one is about as unique as they come--a subtle herringbone weave and low contrast, tonal colors set the foundation. What takes this into a new realm is the special puckered yarn that's woven into the pattern. Since the yarn is polyester, it shrinks differently than the rest of the cotton, resulting is an intentionally wrinkled and puckered look. Keep in mind--you must iron this shirt. In a traditional laundry cycle, the puckered yarn will shrink up beyond what looks good. Only once the shirt is pressed does it get the appropriated puckering that you'll love.

Rather than using fine high thread count fabrics like the Italians, the Japanese have mastered the art of more casual low thread count cottons to create beautiful casual fabrics like this. The 40s single-ply twill comes in soft and only improves the more its worn and washed. We suggest a Soft President Spread collar, soft cuff, and soft placket on this shirt.

  • Shirt is impossible to iron. Ended up throwing it out.

    February 2020  ·  Kevin in New Canaan, CT

    July 2019  ·  Adam in Arlington, MA

  • Amazing Fabric!

    July 2019  ·  Josh in New York, NY

  • A bit too frumpy. Wanted a casual look, but it borders on sloppy.

    March 2019  ·  Eric in Cedar Knolls, NJ

  • Great colors that have held up well over the last few years.

    January 2019  ·  Spencer in Campbell, CA

  • Really cool shirt, but the puckering and the wrinkles are more than I thought.

    September 2018  ·  William in Cincinnati, OH

  • Its great — spring thing. Not too warm for thbut day, great for eve.

    March 2018  ·  Boris in Delray Beach, FL

  • Great fabric and pattern

    March 2018  ·  Christopher in New York, NY

  • I love this shirt. Very comfortable, the fabric is soft and warm. It does tend to wrinkle, but since I use this as a more casual shirt I don't mind. Note that the sleeves shrunk more than standard cotton dress shirts for me, so you might want to order a bit bigger through the sleeve and shoulder.

    January 2018  ·  Kevin in Newtown, PA

  • Love the pattern on this and the soft feel. It did seem to shrink a bit more than other shirts so I'd maybe recommend ordering a touch longer than usual.

    October 2017  ·  Andrew in Montreal, Montreal

  • Super stylish pattern. Love the look.

    October 2017  ·  Patrick in Augusta, GA

  • Awesome. Super soft, vibrant red and blues together. Would buy this again in a heartbeat.

    October 2017  ·  Peter in Hillsborough, CA

  • This is my favorite flannel fabric from Proper Cloth. It's the prefect blend of casual that's appropriate for weekdays and weekends. Also it's very comfortable.

    October 2017  ·  Fred in Virginia Beach, VA

  • Great fall pattern and perfect balance of opacity and weight - without feeling heavy at all.

    August 2017  ·  Luke in SAN DIEGO, CA

  • Love it

    August 2017  ·  Steve in Petaluma, CA

  • Good fabric, lighter weight than you might expect.

    July 2017  ·  Mike in Brooklyn, NY

  • Soft and comfortable

    July 2017  ·  Keith in LAS VEGAS, NV

  • Feels great.

    July 2017  ·  Eric in Newtown, CT

  • Admittedly, I haven't been as excited to receive any other shirt as I was for this one! The shirt fits as expected and the fabric is certainly soft and comfortable. My only minor disappointment was that the fabric does have a tendency to curl / roll / bunch up a bit when dried in the drier. (which I obviously notice better now in the fabric pictures) It's certainly soft and cozy, but I always feel the need to iron it before I can wear it out.

    June 2017  ·  Brett in Kansas City, MO

  • Great looking shirt, pattern as good or better than shown on web site.

    June 2017  ·  Corey in New York, NY

  • Great fabric, does pucker up a little after a wash, but low heat, quick iron does the trick for a clean, relaxed look.

    June 2017  ·  Adrien in Old Greenwich, CT

  • Just excellent

    June 2017  ·  Phil in Burlingame, CA

  • I really like this shirt

    May 2017  ·  Brandon in Alamo Heights, TX

  • I'm too thick to be a hipster but I felt like one with this flannel shirt. Great color.only issue was that it shrank way more than I was expecting so the sleeves are a tad short as is the length.

    May 2017  ·  samuel in SAN MATEO, CA

  • Love the fabric, very attractive design and very comfortable.

    May 2017  ·  Ryan in Downingtown, PA

  • great light fabric. not quite summer wear but definatley will be a fall favourite

    May 2017  ·  tom in Short Hills, NJ

  • Very soft and surprisingly breathable. Does wrinkle a bit, but easy to knock out. My go-to casual shirt currently!

    April 2017  ·  Russell in Cleburne, TX

  • Not quite heavy enough maybe for a flannel? Tough to wash/dry but also not great as dry cleaned press.

    April 2017  ·  thomas in Mount Kisco, NY

  • Super soft with a subtle pattern that has made this one of my favorite weekend shirts.

    April 2017  ·  Dan in Boca Raton, FL

  • Great look, great feel. Wish you hadn't run out!

    April 2017  ·  Eric in DALLAS, TX

  • Absolutely beautiful fabric. It's a light weight fabric so perfect for nights during this time of the year. Fantastic as a casual shirt paired with denim.

    April 2017  ·  Chad in Atlanta, GA

  • Amazing shirt! Very soft!

    April 2017  ·  Juan in Houston, TX

  • lightweight and nice

    April 2017  ·  Clifford in Telluride, CO

  • Awesome casual shirt.

    April 2017  ·  Elliot in RICHMOND, VA

  • Sorry I didn't like the shirt. I expected a little thick but the shirt is too thin. I returned it. There might be difference in opinion.

    April 2017  ·  JAISER MADHARASAN in Bellevue, WA

  • Nice casual looking fabric, great colour, pattern and weight. The fabric is a bit too high maintenance for me - definitely requires an iron after every wash to pull it back into shape.

    April 2017  ·  Michael in Wellington,

  • My favorite plaid so far.

    March 2017  ·  Matthew in Hailey, ID
