Madras Power Loom Twill Short Sleeve Shirt - Blue Tones
Description
We spend quite a bit of time on the road and a good fair amount in the weaving mills of India. Our travels through Chennai (formerly Madras), the home of the madras cloth, is always a highlight. The local weavers perfected the art of weaving loose "power loom" fabrics into the recognizable "madras cloth." This season we dug into the 1970's archives of the weaving mill that has been in the same family for over 50 years. The soft and light cloth is ideal for the hot and humid weather of the subcontinent. We took the concept for a spin, weaving a lightweight twill in the same techniques as the old madras cloths. Wear it with our Thompson shorts or pair it with our Edward denim.
The Model is also wearing: Thompson Flex Stretch Shorts - Dark Navy.
