A Gitman Vintage spring/summer collection is never complete without archival Madras fabrics. This style, however, is remade from a fabric archived at our partner mill in Chennai (formerly Madras), India. Although we don't know the exact year that this fabric was originally introduced, we've been told it dates to the 70's.
Just like the original fabric, this style is completely handwoven with hand-dyed yarns, and features a textural Ikat motif throughout the plaid. For those unfamiliar, ikat fabrics are made with dip-dyed yarns that change color, revealing an ombre-like pattern throughout the weave.

Characteristics:
Our Archive Indian Madras fabrics are dutiful reproductions of fabrics found in the archives of our partner mill in Chennai, India. Each style is hand-loomed, a process takes about four times as long as a conventional loom, but ensures that the fabric's intricacies are executed to the highest degree. Old school production is something we value and practice at our USA-based factories, but it's rare for us to find fabrics made with the same approach. All in, these fabrics create shirts imbued with a human touch that can't be created any other way.
We offer free shipping for all orders within the USA and international orders over $300. International orders under $300 are shipped at a flat rate of $30. Returns and exchanges will be gladly accepted within our policy guidelines. To view our full returns and exchanges policy, please visit our FAQ page.
Import duties and taxes for international orders are calculated and collected during checkout.
