Madras Check Button Down

Designed in collaboration with illustrator Graham Marsh, the Vintage Ivy button-down shirt resembles what would be found on American college campuses in the 1960s. This one comes in a dark green Indian madras cloth that properly “bleeds” just like they did back then. The shorter three-inch collar offers two quintessential Ivy details: a back-button and locker loop. The shirt cuffs are pleated, and the six-button front uses real cream-colored takase shell buttons. An indispensable piece for any wardrobe, the Vintage Ivy model can be worn tucked-in on a night out and untucked for weekends at the park.

*Indian Madras fabric may fade in color due to exposure to light and washing, and we use older machines which may result in neps or slubs.

The fabric of this product is created from an archive of colors and patterns that were used in the 1960s. It was inspired by the colors and patterns worn by jazz musicians at that time. The India Madras fabric is woven from cotton from India and has a soft texture that is achieved through slow drying in the sun. As you wear it, it develops a bleeded look that shows its age beautifully. This Madras fabric is one of the few made in India that can be stylishly worn with wrinkles even after a single wash at home.

The origin of Madras check is Madras (now Chennai) in Southeast India. Madras is a port city facing the Bay of Bengal and is a major city on the south-eastern coast of India. It developed as a commercial and cultural center as a trading base of the British East India Company in the 17th century. At that time, cotton products exported from Madras brought great wealth to the thriving Britain. The fabric with the check pattern exported from Madras came to be called Madras check.

Excellent experience

This was my first order from Kamakura and they lived up to their glorious reputation. The ordering process was as smooth as possible. The shipping happened the next day and I received my shirt one day ahead of the estimated delivery day. The shirt itself is a thing of beauty. My only downside is from the sizing perspective. I wear a 15 but these particular shirts were offered only in half sizing (14.5 - 15.5 etc.). However, I will definitely be ordering more from Kamakura going forward.

Extremely happy with the shirt - and the fantastic service. The fabric is an ideal weight and you can tell the colours will only get better and better as they bleed.

Lovely Madras shirt by the masters of Ivy!

This beautifully checkered Madras shirt is a lovely new addition to my wardrobe - great colorway and feel to the fabric it has all the great Ivy details you could want (ok, maybe a flap pocket would be a cool touch as well) plus the fit for me (1,82m/77 kg, size 16.5) is absolutely spot on as always. Kamakuras Vintage Ivy line keeps on putting out one classic after another and this Madras shirt is no ecxeption. I absolutely dig it!
