Slate Plaid 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 for a fabric with an incredibly soft and airy feel. Madras fabrics were originally dyed with bright, colorful vegetable dyes. When laundered, these dyes would "bleed" resulting in shirts with more subdued color tones and a faded appearance. This bleeding inadvertently created the look and feel of madras most are familiar with today. Our madras shirt are designed to have just the right amount of color fading right off the bat and won't bleed. We love the muted colors of this tonal slate plaid. It's perfect as a long sleeve shirt or a short sleeve shirt. Try it with a Soft Ivy Button Down for a classic look or our Soft President Spread collar for a subtle update on the madras shirt.

    January 2020  ·  Bryan in SALEM, OR

  • A good shirt but didn't work well on me unfortunately.

    December 2019  ·  Mike in Saddle River, NJ

  • Very lightweight. It can be a little challenging to iron out wrinkles, but with such a patterned fabric, just wear it as-is out of the dryer.

  • One of my favorites. Can be mixed either full casual or business casual.

    October 2019  ·  Russell in Montclair, NJ

  • I like the bold colors in this fabric. The starter design had some extra lines of thread down the plattens, edging the collar, highlighting the pockets etc. I decided to keep those to see what I thought of them. I like them. It adds some variety to my wardrobe. I wear with or without a jacket.

    August 2019  ·  Michael in Andover, MA

  • This is my seventh shirt from Proper Cloth, so I'm officially addicted. I like the way they fit and I like the way they feel. This is the first one I had monogrammed. This is a good transition fabric to bring in the fall here in Venice, CA.

    August 2019  ·  Mark in La Jolla, CA

    August 2019  ·  Adam in Calgary, Alberta
