Japanese Washed Indigo Floral Print Fabric

Fabric Description

Woven and printed with real indigo in Japan, this easy-going Aloha print 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 creates a beautiful, relaxed look. It’s an incredibly soft 40s single-ply plain weave and, with perfectly faded blue tones thanks to a light bleach wash, it’s simply the perfect summer 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 Camp collar, no placket, Rounded pocket, and Roma buttons for a fun casual 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.

Since our limited-run garment washed indigo and denim fabrics are made in small batches with a special process, we guarantee delivery between August 16th and 20th, 2019. Fabric swatches are not available.

  • I can't wear this at all. Too much trouble because it requires so much care to remain wrinkle-free.

    March 2020  ·  Enrique in Goose Creek, SC

  • Makes a great Aloha-style shirt.

    December 2019  ·  Steven in Union, NJ

  • Best as a short sleeve. I like to roll up my sleeves and this fabric don’t look good as such.

    November 2019  ·  Alfred in Tulsa, OK

  • More faded than it appears on the website, which is a positive.

    October 2019  ·  George in Peterborough,

  • SO glad I bought this one! The colors are vibrant and deep, and the open weave of the fabric provides both comfort and additional visual appeal. You'll never see another floral like this!

    September 2019  ·  Jacob in Waban, MA

  • Incredible pattern and feel! Great drape and beautiful Japanese Indigo color!

    August 2019  ·  Cody in Eastlake, OH

  • This is a fantastic pattern and very soft shirt. One issue might be that it's extremely thin and doesn't feel at all durable. The thinness is great for the summer, but as a casual beach shirt that might get some wear and frequent contact with sand, I think this will get some holes in it pretty quickly.

    August 2019  ·  Graig in Copenhagen, KBH-S

  • Super soft and lightweight.

    August 2019  ·  Ethan in Potomac, MD

  • This is, obviously, a very casual fabric. That is what makes it so great an offering from Proper Cloth, however. I enjoy having something to wear on the weekend that fits as well as what I wear in my office. The fabric itself feels a bit gossamer, so I am not certain how long it will last. I bought it to wear during a painfully hot summer, so the flimsier weight is perfect for what I want. The pattern is an instant favorite- kitsch and fun, but not so offensive that you would feel uncomfortable in wearing it anywhere casual. I expect I will wear this every weekend until it falls apart.

    August 2019  ·  Brian in Chattanooga, TN

  • Supremely soft fabric, incredible pattern and vibrancy. Love it!

    June 2019  ·  Christian in Jersey City, NJ

  • Really soft and great looking.

    May 2019  ·  Allen in Los Angeles, CA

  • The combination of denim and the floral print is definitely unique. Fun pattern, but can be a bit loud under normal circumstances. I think of it as a luxurious vacation shirt that I don't need to be on vacation to wear.

    February 2019  ·  Vivek in Carmel, IN

  • A flare shirt that looks great with a well cut pair of chinos for a night out.

  • Great.

    August 2017  ·  Steve in Petaluma, CA

  • The ultimate summer shirt! Very light and breathable but not see through. Perfect for a soft collar popover. One word of advice- the white in the pattern is more prevalent than it looks. Can be almost too white with sand/white colored trousers.

  • Perfect
