Regular price $185.00Originating in India, Madras check became a spring and summer staple of the American East Coast Ivy look in the 1950s and 60s.

*Please note:
I got the red shirt. The colors work really well together. The shirt is well made, fits well (true to sizing chart), and has become an instant favorite.
Just received it today. No chance to wear it out yet, but excitedly tried some of the combinations I was thinking about. The color is perfect, the style is so fluid. It looks perfect with my denim jacket or my wool blazer and tie. Those kind of pieces are rare. Only thing is its a bit thin, so if you want to wear it in the winter, some layering is definitely necessary.
Like many of you I have ended up on this website in search of some vague idea of the perfect OCBD. Well, once it arrived, my idea of a perfect OCBD was no longer vague. Trust the sizing guide, and mind the yoke!
Perfect fit with the sleeve length adjustment. The light blue color had very good opacity.
Absolutely love these shirts! The vintage Ivy is my new go to. The fit, the details, they iron up so easily. I have 7 different colours now, can’t see myself ever buying another brand again.
After first wash in cold water and hanging to dry, the shirt shrunk and is unwearable.
