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 combination of olive green and bright red is layered with yellow and blue in a multi-layered plaid that makes for a unique yet timeless style. This fabric makes a particularly fun Camp shirt to wear with jeans or linen blend chinos in the summer.

Recommended Styling: Our Camp collar, Angled pocket, and Corozo buttons on a short sleeve shirt is a classic look. For something a little more collegiate, go with our Colorado Button Down collar and Soft Front placket.

    May 2023  ·  Chris in Salem, OR

  • I love the color scheme! However, I cannot iron it smooth in places. I’ve not had a true “Madras” cotton shirt before, so i am learning its attributes. It isn’t wrinkly like linen. I’m some places on the fabric it’s as if your dry cleaner has sloppily pressed a section of the fabric, and the wrinkles seem permanent.????????‍♂️
