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 subtly punchy combination of reds and golds over a navy and ecru ground makes for a unique yet timeless plaid 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.

  • A good, not great pattern for me - it doesn’t jump like some Proper madras patterns.

    April 2022  ·  Dave in SOUTH PASADENA, CA

  • Classic madras plaid but doesn't feel stuffy or old-fashioned. The yellow/gold is a nice touch but doesn't overwhelm the shirt. This would be a great shirt for anyone looking for a warm-weather alternative to a classic plaid shirt.

    October 2021  ·  Brian in Calgary, AB

  • Nice shirt

    October 2021  ·  samuel in SAN MATEO, CA

  • Classic madras pattern ... good crossover from casual to professional. Material has significantly greater shrinkage than other fabrics, and has unusual tendency to shrink incrementally after each cleaning. Requires increased allowances in measurements for initial cut and construction, but worth effort for long term repeated wear and cleaning.

    October 2021  ·  Roger in Anchorage, AK

  • Traditional madras.
