Washed Madras Workshirt - Earthtone Plaid

Washed Madras Workshirt - Earthtone PlaidMadras is a beautiful, historic, and characteristic summer fabric. Usually youd see it in bright, poppy colors and, while beautiful, we usually like to tone that down and give note to more faded and worn tones. What makes ours even more special, though, is its handmade qualities. The cotton is hand spun into the yarns, which are hand woven into this fabric. Our madras reflects a lot of the natural shades from the landscape in New Mexico. We used

Custom French blue pearl snaps

to grainbasket farmers and their families

We worked with our partnering mill to develop this cotton/linen canvas

Natural leather lining and insole

referencing traditional designs and making them new

Cut and sewn in New York City

Tuscan hunting jacket-style pockets

then given a light coating of oil to help to soften and protect the leather

And that's our favorite kind of inspiration

Over time and wear

our diamond shanks and aged steer head snaps

but tweaking some of the details to make fall more in line with some of our favorite WWII era military shirts
