Japanese Washed Indigo Chambray Fabric

Fabric Description

Woven and indigo dyed in Japan, this selvage chambray is the real deal.

It’s made in small batches on shuttle looms, a technique pioneered in America and perfected by Japanese mills that creates the slightly uneven weave that gives this light indigo chambray incredible visual texture. The hand is remarkably soft. The color is beautifully faded and the texture is interesting while remaining subtle. Long story short: the perfect, timeless chambray shirt.

From sourcing the perfect denim from a 185-year-old mill in Italy to testing washes with our factory for months on end, we labor over every detail of our washed indigo shirts. Each of them starts out as a plain or textured weave fabric that’s been dyed heavily with indigo. After being cut and sewn, the shirts are then garment washed using either a light enzyme, soda, or bleaching process. It‘s this process that gives each shirt its beautiful color and unique fading around the seams. While garment washed indigo and denim shirts are a popular product in the ready-to-wear market, they haven‘t previously been available in a custom fit or design due to the bulk production required for the washing process. We‘ve worked closely with our suppliers to bring you the first truly custom garment washed indigo and denim shirts on the market. Premium, carefully crafted shirts, made to your exact specifications. Learn more about our washed indigo and denim shirts here.

Recommended Styling: Try this one with our Soft English Spread collar, no placket, and Slate Horn buttons for a clean, minimal look. Note that, due to the special nature of the garment washing process, this fabric can only be made using soft, unfused collars, cuffs, and fronts/plackets.

  • Great fabric with subtle variation that makes the shirt really special. A bit thinner than I expected it would be.

    November 2023  ·  Chris in Brooklyn, NY

  • Great shirt, super comfortable!

    November 2023  ·  Philip in ASHBURN, VA

  • Very soft. Love the color.

    October 2023  ·  Joseph in OKLAHOMA CITY, OK

  • Medium weight; very soft. The color is true to the photos. After my linen-chambray (Albiate Washed Indigo Cotton and Linen Chambray), this is my number 2 go-to shirt. Definitely on the more casual end of the spectrum, but super comfortable and easy to wear.

    October 2023  ·  Dan in ENGLEWOOD, CO

  • great chambray

    September 2023  ·  Rick in Tinton Falls, NJ

  • Great fabric - good slightly more casual light blue option. I was hoping it had a little more heft to it, but works well for spring/summer.

    September 2023  ·  Gregory in Burien, WA

  • Great fabric! soft, comfortable.

    September 2023  ·  Bryan in Falcon Heights, MN

  • The quintessential light blue chambray shirt. It looks rugged but feels soft on the skin. Great drape and it can easily be made up as a casual work shirt with double pockets, or as a more refined button-down for nights out.

    August 2023  ·  Robert in Swampscott, MA

  • Great texture and color for the warmer seasons.

    August 2023  ·  Dominic in Bellevue, WA

  • 100% what I was looking for from a classic Japanese chambray. Soft, breathable.

    August 2023  ·  Andrew in Brighton, MA

  • This fabric is absolutely terrific.

    August 2023  ·  Cathal in Freiburg,

  • Great fabric for a casual button down

    August 2023  ·  Nicholas in Roxbury, MA

  • Super comfortable since it's washed, would reach for this every day.

    July 2023  ·  Shane in Brooklyn, NY

  • For this purchase in particular I chose a popover front. I don't think I would have thought of that as an option if it were not for the many options available on the website. The fabric is amazing. Soft to the touch with plenty of texture. I'm really pleased with how it looks in person.

    July 2023  ·  Ernest in Peekskill, NY

  • Makes for a sharp looking western shirt especially after first washing and pressing. Perfect for warm weather, wear it often when the weather cools down in summer.

    July 2023  ·  Anthony in SEATTLE, WA

  • Very soft and comfortable

    June 2023  ·  Joshua in Lafayette Hill, PA

  • Extremely soft

    June 2023  ·  Ryan in East Brisbane , QLD

  • great fabric but it does shrink more than the others so adjust adjust the sleeves

    June 2023  ·  Kevin in Basking Ridge, NJ

  • Not quite as soft as I expected from a high quality chambray, but it will probably wear softer.

    June 2023  ·  Jonathon in Coquitlam, Coquitlam

  • This is a great chambray fabric that is soft and feels like the real deal in terms of true indigo chambray. Can dress it up or down depending on the details and finishing.

    June 2023  ·  Brian in Phila, PA

  • Nice texture

    June 2023  ·  Lukasz in Brisbane, CA

  • Butter soft texture to this chambray. It still smells of bleach after two washes, hoping that fades soon.

    June 2023  ·  Jason in Las Vegas, NV

  • Beautiful soft fabric. Great for warm weather.

    May 2023  ·  Louis in MIAMI, FL

  • Fabric is a soft, dressier version of a typical chambray.

    May 2023  ·  Glenn in New York, NY

  • Cool, and easy to wear. Not as tough as the heavy oxford, but a really great fabric.

    May 2023  ·  Alex in Beech Island, SC

  • very good quality

    May 2023  ·  Kristian in Singapore,

  • Tremendous shirt. The fabric is so soft. Could wear this shirt every day.

    May 2023  ·  Christopher in Chicago, IL

  • I'm so excited about this shirt. It's so soft and wears so well. The color is great. I was looking for a WWII US Navy chambray shirt, but the ones I've looked at fit like a tent and the pockets are oversized. This shirt looks the part, feels the part, and fits perfectly. With the soft collar and utility pockets, it's definitely more casual but with no pocket or an angled pocket, it would dress up very nicely.

    April 2023  ·  Michael in Saint Paul, MN

  • very soft

    April 2023  ·  Nicholas in Brooklyn, NY

    March 2023  ·  Alex in New York, NY

    August 2022  ·  Andrew in CHICAGO, IL

  • I like this shirt but it did shrink a little after washing twice unlike the other shirts i received.

    August 2022  ·  joseph in LOS ANGELES, CA
