Red Ecru and Brown Indian Madras Fabric

Fabric Description

Prized for its light weight, breathability, and distinctive look, madras is an absolute warm weather staple.

Ours is woven in India using 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 and feel 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. This muted red, ecru, and brown plaid is a timeless style that works perfectly as either a long or short sleeve shirt.

Recommended Styling: Go with soft details. Our Soft Ivy Button Down collar with a Soft Front placket is a classic look, or update the traditional with our Soft President Spread and no placket.

  • What can I say? Classic plaid in autumny colors made better by breathable fabric and a perfect fit. Nailed it.

    April 2021  ·  Calvin in Toronto, Toronto

  • Love the Madras shirts from PC. The color and pattern on this is really nice. It's a subtle way of adding a little vividness or pop to my attire without being flashy. The color is rich and deep and the fabric is light and breathable.

    April 2021  ·  Austin in ALBUQUERQUE, NM

  • Amazing fabric

    April 2021  ·  Mitch in Washington, DC

  • Excellent drape and quality, extremely comfortable and the colors look wonderful. Breathable but opaque and doesn't show through making it great for warmer seasons.

    April 2021  ·  Matthew in PITTSBURGH, PA

  • Nice colour

    April 2021  ·  Gabe in Rouse Hill, NSW

    December 2020  ·  Jonas in Palo Alto, CA

  • Very comfortable, and resists wrinkles

    December 2020  ·  Terence in MADISON, WI

  • Excellent hot weather fabric. I allow it to wrinkle up for that nice summer casual look. I will be purchasing other colours right away.

    November 2020  ·  Robert in Hendra, QLD

  • The fabric is light and airy, color is really bright, better than shown in photos!

    October 2020  ·  BOB in Yorba Linda, CA

  • Great summer shirt!

    October 2020  ·  Jacquie in ASHBURN, VA

  • This is a very pretty madras. It can wash out your features if you have paler white skin though.

    October 2020  ·  Michael in SEATTLE, WA

  • Love this fabric - beautiful colors, looks even better in real life than in the pictures. Weight is great for the southern California climate.

    October 2020  ·  William in Chino Hills, CA

  • Smooth fabric, easy to wear, great wrinkle resistance. Just an extremely comfortable shirt

    October 2020  ·  Ayan in NEW ORLEANS, LA

  • Nice and light and a great vibrant color

    October 2020  ·  Scott in Lancaster, PA

  • Beautiful madras.

    September 2020  ·  Craig in Ocean Springs, MS

  • I'm still blown away by the softness of PC's madras every time I get one. I think this particular colorway is madras for people who are afraid to try madras. Still the pattern and fading of madras, but much more restrained.

    September 2020  ·  Jacob in Waban, MA

  • Excellent shit. I've always had a hard time finding western shirts that fit correctly and aren't excessively long. This is a great lightweight fabric, and I could get it in the classic western cut I wanted. Fits perfectly, feels great.

    September 2020  ·  Ryan in JERSEY CITY, NJ

  • Interesting red color on the fabric.

    September 2020  ·  Amjad in Springfield Gardens, NY

  • Great year round fabric

    September 2020  ·  Brent in Leetsdale, PA

  • Light fabric that shows a little wrinkle. Great for casual shirts.

    September 2020  ·  Maxwell in BOZEMAN, MT

  • Very lightweight and soft texture but also seems to hold up very well. Feels very nice against the skin. I'd only wash cold/gentle because I like it very much.

    August 2020  ·  Chris in ASHEVILLE, NC

  • Lighter than some of my linen shirts but better looking and without the wrinkles.

    August 2020  ·  Ian in Cochrane, AB

  • Excellent!

    August 2020  ·  Kenneth in Statesville, NC

  • Very lightweight. Doesn't stretch a lot, better in a loose fit.

    August 2020  ·  Eugene in Naples, FL

  • love the color and feel of this fabric

    August 2020  ·  Imran in Pasadena, CA

  • Lovely

    August 2020  ·  Don in El Paso, TX

  • My 3rd Madras shirt from Proper Cloth. Very lightweight yet opaque for hot summer days paired with shorts. It's easier to wear and more versatile than linen.

    August 2020  ·  Antoine in Brewster, NY

  • colors

    August 2020  ·  Stephen in CHEYENNE, WY

  • Nice and soft. Reasonably wrinkle resistant.

    August 2020  ·  Andrew in Virginia Beach, VA

  • This is a light weight fabric but doesn't look like a light weight fabric when you have it on. I tend to run hot and this provides a nice option that isn't too hot for summer days and will also look really nice in the fall/winter.

    July 2020  ·  Ryan in Jackson, WY

  • This makes for a great Madras shirt, attractive plaid, doesn't wrinkle much, light weight for hot weather. The shirt actually looks better than the website pictures, which looked good enough to make me buy it.

    July 2020  ·  Anthony in SEATTLE, WA

  • Beautiful color and material.

    July 2020  ·  Sarat in SUGAR LAND, TX

  • As expected

    July 2020  ·  Tapera in Roanoke, VA

  • A little heavier than other Madras shirts I've had but with more substance.

    July 2020  ·  Roger in NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE,

  • This very soft for a cotton cloth.

    July 2020  ·  Bob in Waverly, OH

  • Soft, light, and fits well.

    July 2020  ·  Tom in Fountain Hills, AZ
