Sid Mashburn was super excited to get their hands on some true-blue Indian cotton madras... woven with just the right amount of slub and irregularity to it. Original Madras Trading Company is a third-generation family business that's been weaving since the 1970s on traditional hand looms in — where else? — Madras, India. That's the birthplace of traditional Madras cloth (pronounced mud-ROSS,) defined as a plainweave fabric made from 100% Indian cotton and woven with a minimum of two colors... but usually more. It's loved it for its breeziness, its light weight, and its nostalgic character. In the photos it is paired with the Butcher Jacket Indian madras 100% cotton 3.5mm Trocas shell buttons 22 stitches/inch flat-felled seams soft button-down collar nonfused German interlining in collar and cuff box pleat on back yoke back collar button rounded chest pocket rounded barrel cuff made in India machine wash, tumble dry low, medium iron. do not bleach.
