Fabric Description

Authentic Indian madras reinterpreted for the modern wardrobe.

Prized for its breathability, lightness, and distinctive look, madras is an absolute warm-weather staple. Ours is woven in Chennai, India, with a 40s single-ply plain weave construction that makes for an incredibly soft and airy feel. Madras fabrics were originally dyed with bright, colorful vegetable dyes that, when laundered, would "bleed," resulting in shirts with more subdued tones and a faded appearance. This bleeding inadvertently created the traditional madras look we’re familiar with today. Our madras shirts are designed to have just the right amount of fade right off the bat so they won't bleed when you wash them at home. This subdued tonal combination of blues in a large, intricate plaid makes for a unique yet timeless style that works perfectly as either a long or short sleeve shirt.

Recommended Styling: Our Colorado Button Down collar with a Soft Front placket and Angled pocket is a classic look. Try our Soft English Spread and no placket for a slightly more modern spin.

  • Super misshapen. Returned. Totally different than other shirts in this Madras line. Concerning.

    January 2023  ·  DAVID in Los Angeles, CA

    October 2022  ·  Jordan in COLUMBUS, OH

  • This is the second madras fabric I purchased. I love the weight of this shirt for warmer weather - like 70 degrees to maybe 80-85 degrees. It's light weight but not too light. Just right.

    July 2022  ·  Carl in Ayr, South Ayrshire

  • This is the perfect blue madras, imo. It’s too casual for a dress shirt, imo. Go for an untucked fit with button down collar.
