Lax Long Sleeve Shirt

Story

Classic shirt in authentic Madras cloth

Before Vampire Weekend told us to dress ourselves in it, even before Sears first offered the material in their 1897 catalog, Madras cloth was made by hand in the Indian city of Chennai (formerly known as Madras). This classic shirt arrives in an authentic Madras plaid that simply couldn’t be made anywhere else.

About The Brand

Original Madras Trading Company was established in 1970s NYC by a Madras immigrant and has been supplying renowned American brands with the loosely woven, yarn-dyed fabric ever since. When we heard they’d started manufacturing their own range of clothing from their meticulously constructed fabric, we had to get our hands on their new line. Hand-loomed and solidly constructed from lightweight fabric, these buttondown shirts are worthy representations of a storied fabric.
