Fabric Description

We love ourselves a large print once the mercury rises. This one is a dynamic indigo chambray print straight from Japan. 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. 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.

  • A really nice Westerny look; fabric has a nice hand.

  • Amazing

    September 2019  ·  Jordan in COLUMBUS, OH

  • I love this pattern and fabric but it’s really shrunk quite a bit in the wash, especially the length of the sleeves. I’m quite bummed as it’s my most worn and favorite of my 12 Proper Cloth shirts. What’s the solution?

    May 2019  ·  Onne in newport, RI

  • It's a lot, but it's cool

    March 2019  ·  Gil in New York, NY

  • Would be better if it was softer or a slightly looser weave.

    February 2019  ·  Will in brooklyn, NY

  • This is one of my favorite summer shirts. Really has a nice vintage vibe and wears well all day.

    December 2018  ·  John in Sacramento, CA

  • Very groovy fabric - reminds me of growing up in the 70s. It's also comfortable and reasonably opaque. I like how the pattern is faded, as it's quite busy, and if it were bolder, it'd be too loud.

    October 2018  ·  Andrew in New York, NY

  • Love this look.

    September 2018  ·  Howard in Duluth, MN

  • One of the favs that I bought. Can be worn without ironing but I iron most of the time for a little less casual look. Light enough for summer but also warm enough for CA winters.

    May 2018  ·  Beth in Redondo Beach, CA

  • Fun stuff, even in Canada in the winter. Canadian island cloth -- PEI, Victoria, The Rock. We have islands . . .

    February 2018  ·  Joe in Farmers Branch, TX

  • Awful. I had such high hopes for this fabric and the pattern I selected - which in truth were probably ok, but my tailoring elections made a real mess of this.

    February 2018  ·  markus in Greenfield, IN

  • Love this fabric. Fun and looks great. Will be perfect for my tropical winter vacation.

    February 2018  ·  John in Minneapolis, MN

  • Love the pattern - fabric is on the medium-thick side for an aloha shirt and I wish I got a button down rather than spread collar. I would rather wash this normally and just line or tumble dry, which leaves the spread collar looking a little rough - button down would probably perform better.

    January 2018  ·  Thomas in Ithaca, NY

  • This was my first order from Proper Cloth, it fit perfectly and the fabric is great quality. Very good summer shirt as it's lightweight and thin, but not see though. The only problem is you won't want to wear any of your old shirts again!

    January 2018  ·  Trey Daniel in ARLINGTON, VA

  • My only complaint about this fabric is that it felt a bit blousy

    January 2018  ·  julian in Milford, CT

  • Liked the sample. Didn't love the fabric done as a whole shirt. It felt a little like something that weird 'alternative medicine' doctor I see might wear.

    December 2017  ·  Alex in SALT LAKE CITY, UT

  • It looks dope. Def stands out

    November 2017  ·  Sunil in Toronto, ON

  • A really nice denim pattern, it's soft, seems like it will wear in well, and is a lot of fun.

    November 2017  ·  Josh in Edmond, OK

  • Nice floral print. Already faded blue color. Definitely go for short sleeves.

    October 2017  ·  Drew in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert,

  • Beautiful pattern, my new favorite Aloha shirt! The short sleeve option was money.

    October 2017  ·  Jason in Tucson, AZ

  • pretty bold but I love it!

    September 2017  ·  richard in Yorba Linda, CA

  • Nice weight and color.

    August 2017  ·  James in Kittanning, PA

  • Unique, beautiful fabric. Looks great in a short sleeve popover

    August 2017  ·  Rajiv in SAN FRANCISCO, CA

  • Quality fabric that matches up to the look on the site. Very soft and comfortable from first wear.

    August 2017  ·  Russell in New York, NY

  • Light, great comments, great looking shirt

    July 2017  ·  Leo in Pitman, NJ

  • This print is fantastic - toned down enough to not be too loud. Pairs very well with off-white natural denim, but also looks great with jeans, khakis, etc. A lightweight chambray that is great for summer. Mine is long sleeve but would make a great SS shirt, too

    July 2017  ·  John in Dallas, TX

  • Perfect for the summer

    July 2017  ·  John in SANTA MONICA, CA

    July 2017  ·  Matthew in New York, NY

    July 2017  ·  Matthew in Hailey, ID

    June 2017  ·  William in Champaign, IL

  • Fantastic shirt. Looks great. Nice and lightweight. Perfect for summer.

    June 2017  ·  Joshua in Studio City, CA

  • Beautiful print, great with jeans.
